    So I’m guessing that The Final Boss Rock is going to be the replacement for the Power tripping ego filled Mr McMahon character.

    Threatening to fire a ref mid match for doing his job is text book Mr McMahon.

    Edit: pulling the ref out the ring mid count [✓]

    He just needs to beat the shit out of a ref and have his daughter come down in a ref shirt.

      He has said he won’t just disappear going forward, so I would think that is highly likely, maybe not around a lot, but a lot more than we are used to from The Rock.

        I’m kinda hoping he takes the heel boss route, Mr McMahon Was a great character and the rock is a natural at that overly over confident ego filled narcissistic asshole.

        Triple H would have been great but I don’t want to see him in the ring taking bumps anymore, plus everyone knows he’s a big softy who loves his wrestlers like his own children.

      I’m down for this. As you said HHH can’t bump anymore and (any problems aside) he’s too face right now and should remain so as long as he’s around. Rock can do the things that are needed for an evil boss character real well (as long as he doesn’t overstay his welcome. Don’t leave, but don’t be on every episode for 30 mins either.)

        Having an asshole boss who gets what’s coming to him is how you get the older viewers back, it’s what made Austin V McMahon so popular, most workers have had the thought of fighting their terrible boss and got to live vicariously through Austin beating his boss up every single week., that and the fact Austin is the greatest crowd worker in WWE history.
