Professional Wrestling: Why do people still get behind Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson?

[E]

The basic answer... You hate him... millions love him.

Long answer...

"Rock had the focus on him at WM27"
Yes, that's why it had a million buys. Have you seen a WM crowd?? They're not the biggest Miz or Cena fans. Without Rock that would have been the most dull WM ever, by a long shot.

"Survivor Series Nov. 20 2011: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got carried"
Uhhh what match were you watching?? Rock was flawless and entertaining in that match. "You've still got it" ring a bell?

"Wrestlemania 28: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gets carried"
Cena has never carried anyone in a match.

"Royal Rumble Jan. 27 2013: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got handed the WWE Championship after being carried through his match Vs. CM Punk."
So a Punk fan. Rock was no more handed an entertainment belt than anyone. He was chosen to hold it for what he brings to the company like anyone else. He wasn't there all the time but if you see the TV numbers the night after it's a perfect example why they wanted him to hold the belt.

"The most unnecessary Main Event Rematches in recent Wrestlemania history"
...The 1+million buys made it necessary.

What don't you understand about Rock being a part timer? Something which he earned the right to do. Why haven't you had a go at Taker at the same time? Why should his fans who are entertained by him and have been for years turn on him because he has an awesome new job and still makes time to come back now and then despite being the top grossing actor in 2013.
Rock has the biggest fanbase of any wrestler past or present which means a lot of people want to see him and are willing to pay money to see him.
If Rock over shadows anyone it's because he's a bigger star... it's what WWE is all about. Don't act like the current roster haven't had their fair time... they're just not very good.
No one could hold the crowds attention in a 20 minute promo like The Rock had to do dozens of times in the Cena build up.
Rock has had some of the greatest matches in history, his last 4 were probably the worst of his career but when you consider 7 years out, 8 matches in 10 years, little preparation, his bulking up, his injury, having to get chucked into 30 minute matches, it's fair enough. He could still put on a great match if he came back, especially if you eliminate some of those factors, and put him with someone he's had great matches with i.e Brock, Taker, HHH.
Rock's said he might be back for next year... Can't wait!
