The Rock: I've Never Been Interested In Wrestling John Cena

During an interview with Live Audio Wrestling last night, Dwayne "The Rock Johnson said he would return to WWE for a guest-hosting role or to wrestle a match on the sole condition that he can "rip up" the writing for the current television product and tap into the "Attitude Era" with an edgier product.

"I want to use the platform as a host to literally rip things open. There's so much stuff we can do," Johnson told John Pollock. "We're going to create an incredible show, an incredible Raw. I'm doing another movie, but after that, we're going to create something special, unique, something badass for the fans. Talking to Vince (McMahon), whenever that's going to be, we're going to have a great time."

Johnson echoed what he said last week during an interview with ESPN in that he wouldn't rule out actually wrestling, but only if he can turn the product upside down and create a compelling storyline leading to a match.

"I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish in wrestling, so I wouldn't rule out going back," Johnson said. "If the match was right and we could create something really unique and cool for the fans and for my opponent and for the company, I would do it in a second."

Johnson once again said he has no interest in wrestling John Cena, but talked about what it would take for him to work a program with one of WWE's premiere stars.

"I've never been interested in wrestling John Cena. The guys I wrestled in the past - from Goldberg to Hogan to Austin - were guys who I've really wanted to wrestle. If it can be done creatively but not only that, it's very important if I do back is that the writing has to be ripped open and really be pushed," Johnson said. "I came from a time in the Attitude era where we trail-blazed a lot and were fearless in the things we said and did."

Johnson added: "There are a lot of restrictions now on the product, which by the way, I understand, and I enjoy some of the stuff I see and I know some of the writers and they're challenged every week, but if in fact I do go back, it would be an interesting collision of an Attitude time that I loved and the time now, but I'm sure we can always infuse things to make it work."

I love him.

It'd be the battle of the biggest overseller vs the noseller

Hell, even The Rock doesnt want to wrestle the son-of-a-b*****

I'd just be intrigued to see an Attitude Era persona clash with the PG'ers

LMFAO My love just increased for him! Fucking hilarious!

I hope Cena's in tears.

He's NOT that damn great anyways, it's nice to see someone not interested in wrestling the idiot.

I seen a grown man wearing a Cena hoodie today.....seriously. I know that has nothing to do with ANYTHING, but, you know.

Cena's fans: Teen/Adult females, Children, grown men with daydreams of being able to do a stiff legdrop off the top turnbuckle

He answer's Cena's challenge, but completely ignores my offer to wrestle him shirtless.

If He doesn't lay the Smackdown on Cena, I'ma do it!

Lol,

I know definitely Rock won't work with HBK because in Bret's book Hitman, he says DX (mainly HBK) tried their best to keep Rock down in the booking room pretty much because they were intimidated by his charisma (back when he was Rocky Maivia for most of you who don't know) but Bret told them that he eventually become will become the future of the business; less than two years later, Rock was WWE Champion......needless to say, Rock refuses to do anything with Shawn to this day for how he treated him back when he was a rookie.

wow Jordan i never knew that
seriously Shawn was a realy asshole back then eh?
but i knew he was young, brash and had bad attitudes....but he found god and that so who knows if he is AS bad..i know hes bad, but eh....never knew that. HBK was a moron for doing that...its buisness, but ppl like Rock made the buisness boom, so trying to keep him down was a bit pathetic

@ HBK! What a douche

All of The Kliq were douches back then. And besides, I do remember an article awhile ago, where The Rock stated he would have liked to "work with the likes of".. and I remember HBK and Mysterio being on that list.

You're talking about the HOF 2008 but that was just to appease the fans. Rock never mentions Michaels in articles except when others bring him up.
