The Rock's 3 SuperBowl ads, Got Milk?, SNITCH and Fast & Furious 6:
The Milk commercial got one of the most positive responses from the entire game and Fast 6 is already with over 2.2 million views after a few hours. I think there's a big chance of Fast 6 grossing even more than Fast 5 with the buzz around it. If I'm not mistaken, there's also the benefit of not facing strong competition at the box office.

Very good video. Really signify how great the match was. LOVE the GTS/Sharpshooter/Vice and the Rock Bottom/rollup/Sharpshooter exchanges.

Great vid, the match was miles better than Rock/Cena if you ask me. I never felt like it was dragging on and the storytelling was far superior. That GTS into the sharpshooter spot was great.
Re: Official The Rock vs. CM Punk Discussion Thread
The more and more I think about it the more and more I can live with The Rock as the WWE Champion, I just would have liked CM Punk carry it to WrestleMania before dropping it. I was a huge Rock fan back in the late 90's but I really don't want guys showing up and winning championships if they aren't going to be sticking around to defend them on a full time basis, it isn't fair to those who are there week in and week out for the shows and month in and month out for the PPV's. But, The Rock is a legendary figure now and I can see why he was chosen to carry the belt to WrestleMania due to the ratings and the amount of PPV buys he'll draw, plus his inevitable feud with Cena which will result in a huge re-match at WrestleMania this year is pure money for WWE.
I hate Cena, but I know he'll win.
Anyhow, the Rock vs Punk match was fun and exciting as I knew it would be, I'm just bummed to see Rock finish off Punk and end his year + with the gold.
Major (World) Championships I recognize/follow
World Heavyweight Championship (as of 2009)
WWE Championship (as of 2009)
ROH World Championship (since inception)
IWGP Heavyweight Championship (since inception)

316AE and Green Light, agree with you both. At first, I was a bit critical of the match, mainly because I wasn't happy with the Shield interference. When it gets to main event time in the UK it's 3:30 am, I was to tired to take it in. Having watched again, the match really gets undeserved stick, the back and forth counters showed a great exhibition of 2 big stars outdoing each other, and refusing to be locked into a finishing move. I'm sure we'll get another classic at EC.

-- Rock's "Got Milk?" commercial spot ranked #5 out of all Super Bowl commercials on increasing purchase intent, according to USA Today's Ad Meter. It was tops of all non-movie spots.
Number 1 non-movie commercial in the entire game. Pretty big. In the other 4 spots was Fast 6, so Rock had 2 out of the Top 5.
