(Contd.) Let's look at this from a kayfabe point of view. Rock hasn't wrestled full time in NINE YEARS. And last time he was around, Brock Lesnar kicked his candy ass AAAAALLLLLLL OVER LONG ISLAND (see what I did there?) You think he can just waltz right back in and take out young, hungry guys who do this every day like Cena, Alberto del Rio and CM Punk (regardless of contract situation)? Naw dawg. The WWE is pushing youth. Miz just had the longest title reign in three years. Alex Riley is getting massive face pops. R-Truth just challenged for the world title. And then there's young, talented guys waiting in the wings like John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger - the latter two are both former world champions! So no. I do not think the Rock will come back full time as champ.
Who was in decline? Undertaker? You mean when he had the motorcycle and talked like a human and murderized anybody who got in his or Kane's face?
Or do you mean Triple H? After all he was the Randy Orton to Rock's Cena, was the biggest heel in the company and got Chris Jericho over singlehandedly... nah, screw that guy.
SCSA wasn't there. Moving on.
Alright, let's look at it like this. The WWE/World Heavyweight Champion MUST be at every Raw/Smackdown, every PPV, and every house show (on average they run 3 every other week) plus promotional appearances. Did you notice how when Miz was champion he was on Conan, Fallon, Kimmel, et al like every day? He had to do that. I firmly believe Rock will refuse to do that. Hell, Shawn Michaels didn't even want that workload on his return.
