According to various media outlets, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in talks to do a third film in the "Journey to The Center of The Earth" series. Both "Journey" films, include the recently-released sequel, have been highly-profitable. That's good news for film fans of Johnson and great news for Johnson's bank account. But what about professional wrestling fans?

As we have covered here on SodaHead Sports, the man that will always be known as The Rock to millions, is set to make a return to the ring, for his first WWE singles match since 2003. The Rock will be going up against WWE's top full-time star John Cena in a match that is a battle of modern day wrestling legends and two generations of fans. The epic encounter takes place April 1 on WWE's version of the Super Bowl--WrestleMania XXVIII--but The Rock's wrestling future seems unknown after that.

"Rocky" has confirmed that he will be involved with next year's WrestleMania in East Rutherford, NJ, but with him up for a role in "Hercules," as well as his commitments for "G.I. Joe," a "Fast Five" sequel, among other films, wrestling fans may have to accept that one of the all-time greats will probably never come back full-time to the ring. But is that really a bad thing if he'll still be on screen entertaining his fans?

He says he's back, he's back. It's fine if he goes off to do another movie, I get it. He won't be the only part-time wrestler. Undertaker only comes around for Wrestlemania now.

He'll stop wrestling when he gets tired of taking Advil after a day's work! Not to mention that Vince McMahon needs Johnson,Johnson doesn't need the WWE.

Acting pays a lot more, and less stress on the body.

I'm going tu tell u the way my husband says tu anyone about The Rocks return. This will be his last match. He's back only to pass the torch to the next generation which would be John Cena. As us the match between Triple H & The Undertaker. Both are matches to end the era of the Greatest wrestlers in the biz & let next Greatest have their time to shine in lime light.

He will do it when he has time, he obviously loves it because I don't think he has money issues, his movies are awesome. He really has great entertainment gifts.

reply
Heat Her 2012/03/12 16:07:41

Yes

He said he was here to stay, but obviously wouldn't be wrestling on a weekly basis. It's not like he's doing it for the money anymore, now he's doing it because he loves it. You could tell when he made his anti-Cena speach

prosperhappily 2012/03/12 15:11:29

No, not full time.

I expect he'll keep coming back for guest appearances. But, I doubt he's going to be doing many house shows or anything like that.

He may go back to wrestling but it will only be in the movies. He has moved on with alot of success. His fans will always support him, even the new ones he has made with his movies.

this is a one shot deal. The Rock doesn't have time to wrestle full time.

Bring him back, and his cousin Rikishi Phatu as well! The new guys will squirm if they must wrestle against The Rock's Cousin...let it be a tag team!

I like the idea. But, it won't happen. No way the Rock's coming back to be part of a tag team. He's too big a star on his own.

Well, Rikishi is his cousin...perhaps he might do a family thing?

Possible. But, last I checked Rikishi wasn't even working for WWE.

I can speak for all WWE fans by saying that he will continue to make movies. Is WWE fans are lucky he cake back for Mania 28, and I also know that he'll be at Mania 29. However, I do think that he will do occasional wrestling for WWE.

I want him to go back to movie making. He's a good actor and has a fine sense of comedy. Let the younger guys take over the body wrecking.
