The Rock To Guest Host Raw, 2 More Three Hour Raw's Scheduled

In somewhat of a small spoiler, during Dwayne "[color:8d03=#900][color:8d03=#900! important][color:8d03=#900! important]The [color:8d03=#900! important]Rock" Johnson's pre-taped segment that aired on the Smackdown tapings last night, The Rock declared that he "would be the best Raw guest host in history." It appears, therefore, that The Rock will guest host an upcoming edition of Raw.
[color:8d03=#900][color:8d03=#900! important][color:8d03=#900! important]WWE has scheduled two more 3 hour Raw specials, one on November 23rd, the night after [color:8d03=#900][color:8d03=#900! important][color:8d03=#900! important]Survivor [color:8d03=#900! important]Series, and the other on December 14th.

WOOOO I can't wait, i love The Rock.

woo i like 3 hour raws, although they are boring, and two within the same month span awsome

wow he is going to be the guest host thats good i hope they get stone cold to do one also

someone on this forum mentioned to me that they were doing another minidraft as a three hour special....i mean really? is there a point in them anymore

One draft a year is good enough.

I like to see the Rock getting back into some interactivity with the WWE.. makes him look not as much like a sell-out.

Three hours RAWs are always good, in my opinion. Not the product.. but just the three hour part.. gives me something to do from 8-9.

It's always great to see the greatest sports entertainer in history. Too bad DX, Cena, and Orton are insects compared to him so he'll have to carry every segment like the good ol days. The Rock/Jericho interaction should be excellent though.

How is he a sell out? He made the company tons of money, put on awesome matches and left when there really wasn't any else for him to do. Would you have preferred he was like Triple H, HBK and Taker? Someone who constantly receives criticism for his work with "the younger guys".


Wow.. This promo hasn't even aired yet and people are jumping to conclusions.

I cant wait to see Rock Host Raw. I love him.

I havent heard of them doing a mini draft, I hope they dont becasue they had 2 this year. :/

Yeah 1 draft a year is fine by me.

Whoa, Sarcy, you of all people should know that The Rock was a sell-out.

After leaving WWE, he put himself towards the movie business, and slowly drifted away from wrestling. He didn't acknowledge that wrestling got him where he was, and I'm sure you've heard that enough. That's being a sell-out.

It's not like he has done anything really wrestling related since he left. He came back a few times and recently did an indy show to promote one of his cousins. It's not like he went to TNA and people made a big deal about it.

And he is doing midly successful in the movie business. All of his movies have a good opening weekend. He is getting roles he is good at (comedy/family). And in my opinion, his movies are pretty good.

Still, the point is being avoided is that he left WWE for movies without even recognizing them. Especially lately.. sure he made a couple.. filmed appearances, but that's about it. However successful his movies do, doesn't make a difference.

Ok. He stopped going back "The Rock" a couple of years ago. How long has he been out? What his last match was 5 years ago? I understand him not wanting to go by "The Rock" because HE HASN'T BEEN IN WRESTLING FOR FIVE YEARS.

If you are a fry cook for 10 years but you change jobs and now you are the manager the same place for five years now, would you go "Hey, I am the fry cook and manager"? No. You would go "Oh, I started off as the fry cook, but now I am the manager". That is how view it.

I should stop watching SpongeBob while making wrestling posts. <_<

I didn't even mention him not wanting to go by The Rock anymore. The point is, he doesn't recognize the WWE for getting him where he is like he should. Sell-out.

This isn't a guy who was there and the company wiped their collective asses with. THIS IS THE ROCK. MAYBE BECAUSE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS?!

AGAIN, he doesn't recognize the WWE like he should for making him a movie star. And sometimes acting like he was never even in the company in the first place. Therefore, making him a sell-out.

Ugh. Again, it's not like he was a nobody in the WWE. He was the most known person at his pike, so he become synmous with the WWF name. It's common knowledge if you heard of the guy that he WAS in the WWF. He WAS the Rock. You don't need to drive that shit home like a brand new Caddie because he HASN'T been The Rock the pro wrestler in FIVE YEARS.

Duh. Duh. I don't see how you are not getting this.

I'm not getting your point because of how he acted after leaving, and how he left in general.

It doesn't matter how big of a damn name he was, how synonymous he was to the WWF, it doesn't matter - that doesn't give you some special immunity that doesn't allow you to be a sellout.
