Do you think The Rock set the bar up too high? - THE ROCK! - 04-27-2014 07:29 AM

You look at how incredibly entertaining he is, and you wonder to yourself 'how does he do that?'. Even his harshest critics who all say he is catch-phrases, can't deny his wit. J.R. even quoted saying he is a once in a lifetime performer. You see how he captivates a crowd with just his mere presence, how he turns the atmosphere with just one raised eyebrow. A person that's just so entertaining, they could stand in the ring and read numbers out of a phone book, and still highly amuse everybody. Yet WWE has not came across another superstar with those attributes. A superstar with the matching charisma, and mic presence. Why is that, WWE's controlling creative team or Is it just that The Rock has left a role that was very hard to fulfill, and has set the bar up so high no one can reach it?

no not at all........
there will be others but the company has no room for them.

Society changed also with mma.

If they bring back attitude more big stars like the rock will rise guaranteed.

They used to think hogan would never be replaced. ...

Rock is from attitude. Current wwe doesnt have much room for that. Hopefully they will right now...
The rock calling out the miz, cena and cole, and the gm on the pc was brilliant!

Most Attitude Era and back fans are used to having the bar high. Rock, Austin, HHH, HBK, Jericho, Mankind, Angle, and countless other all did that on a weekly basis back then. Since 05 though, the current generation of fans have gotten so used to mediocrity, that when they get someone actually 1/3 as good as the Rock (Miz, current Cena), they don't know how to act in the presence of Rock and other characters like him. The bar is set high, but it SHOULD be high.

True, but I rather have that bar set up high instead of too low, also, I have seen the positive comments everyone has made about the Rock since his return Monday, I can agree with how great Rock is on the Mic, and the young guys on WWE's Roster could learn some things from The Rock, but at the same time, how in the hell can they be as entertaining when WWE lets the Rock say what he wants when he wants, but makes everyone else stick to the PG Guidelines, they won't even allow Cena to say Ass on the air without having him apologize later on on his twitter for it, and claim he was "Fined" as punishment! No body made The Rock apologize for his language or statements, WWE needs to stop trying to cut the wrestlers balls off, let them have a little freedom on the Mic, and not feel this need to apologize for every little thing that could be considered offensive, this is the only way WWE will get another star at the Level of the Rock, but even then, The Rock has a natural talent that I think, if WWE even did give it's Superstars freedom on the Mic, those Superstars would have a difficult time reaching Rock's Level, but they don't stand a chance if WWE censors them, and writes all their lines for them!

There will never be anyone like The Rock or Stone Cold anytime soon. Based on The Rock's ovation and the fact that after 10 yrs fans still taunt wrestlers with "What" is remarkable. He said it best on Raw...it went from "the power of Austin 3:16" to "you can't see me". about the best they have right now is The Miz, and his ring skills don't match up with Rock, Austin, DX,...etc. He loves what he does, so maybe with some more time he'll get to that callliber....MAYBE.
