The rock can cut a good serious promo, he has before he returned and he has since he returned. The promo before his rumble match was terrible but the serious bits during his first in ring promo with punk were great and the promo he cut the raw before the rumble was good too. It's just that he tends to add corny lines to his promos which I will admit are indeed corny but unlike most of his detractors here, I don't think they tarnish the overall quality of his promos. In ring conditioning isn't as bad as people say here but I do agree with scrilla when he says he brought down punk and Cena to his pace in their matches with him. In terms of promos however, he brought the best out of them.
While I do think it was bad booking to put the title on him, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Plus people are starting to call him a "politician" and an "egomaniac" that never puts anyone over, LOL. How soon we forget...
who did he put over?
WM 28 - beats cena
2011 SS - Beats Miz/Truth
2013 RR - Beats Punk
2013 EC - Likely beating punk
Aside from putting Cena over in two months at WM 29, who has he put over? fuck outta here with your retarded bullshit.

So you count only 1 year instead of the whole WWE career of the Rock only to make him look like an egomaniac? fuck outta here with your retarded bullshit

Noone recently, you could make a case that he helped put over the miz by being booked to interfere in the match with Cena at Wm.
Has put over plenty of superstars in the past however Goldberg, Lesnar, Jericho, Angle etc.
and thats the problem. For as much as Dwayne claims he loves the history and the tradition of the business, he doesnt get that at his age he should be helping put guys over, not getting these sentimental title runs and victories over guys he could help make look like fucking superstars.
You want someone who knows the history and tradition of the business? Look at that mother fucker Chris Jericho. The guy is the same age as Rock, and realizes his best days are behind him, and that he has no need to hold another title, and it appears he doesnt have an issue losing clean to the guys who have long-term deals with the company.
Jericho is as selfless as they get...while Dwayne is as selfish as it gets. And people want to talk about the backstage politicking that guys like Hogan and Triple H do? What Dwayne is doing right now makes the stuff hogan and trips did pale in comparison.
So you count only 1 year instead of the whole WWE career of the Rock only to make him look like an egomaniac? fuck outta here with your retarded bullshit
oh, he put guys like angle, goldberg, and taker over when he was still a regular? That's great...now that he has the opportunity to pass the torch to younger talent who arent as established as guys like Goldberg and Angle, he's slapping them in the face by asking for a selfish title run.

You can't compare The Rock with Chris Jericho. Jericho returns almost every year and wrestles hundreds of matches if you count also house shows. The Rock returned just 2 years ago, and if you count his matches at EC and WrestleMania it will be only 5 matches in 2 years since he returned, he will probably lose the title against John Cena and that's it. He will have a tiny 2 months title reign that will go down in history like Hogan's title run in 2002 or Bret Hart's US title run in WWE and that's it, a short WWE title reign for one of the greatest WWE superstars that will not harm the business in any way, The Rock will actually only bring more prestige to the title.
What if the Rock hasn't returned? Would you be more happy that super Cena has won the title for the 345th time from Punk at the Rumble? Or Dolph Ziggler where you would probably mark out only to see him lose it after just 2 months?
If the Rock appeared and wrestles in WWE so many times like Jericho you would have a point but he will have only 5 matches in only 2 years, only 3 of them are for the title and it will consists only of 1 title win, 1 defence and 1 loss.
Jericho knows that because he appears more often in WWE than the Rock that he would be used different than the Rock, if he appeared so many times but wrestled for the title and is constantly in the main event he knows that he would be soon more hated than John Cena and a 20 times world champion so you can't compare Jericho, Kane or Mark Henry with Rock, Lesnar or Austin who don't appear very often
