PW Torch’s James Caldwell has a recap of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s interview with the Live Audio Wrestling show, which you can listen to here.
Johnson laid out what he wanted out of a guest host appearance and the possibility of “one more match”.
“I want to use the platform as a host to literally rip things open. There’s so much stuff we can do,” Johnson told John Pollock of LAW. “We’re going to create an incredible show, an incredible Raw. I’m doing another movie, but after that, we’re going to create something special, unique, something badass for the fans. Talking to Vince (McMahon), whenever that’s going to be, we’re going to have a great time.”
“I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish in wrestling, so I wouldn’t rule out going back,” Johnson said. “If the match was right and we could create something really unique and cool for the fans and for my opponent and for the company, I would do it in a second.”
That said, it doesn’t appear that that match would be with John Cena. Probably.
“I’ve never been interested in wrestling John Cena. The guys I wrestled in the past – from Goldberg to Hogan to Austin – were guys who I’ve really wanted to wrestle. If it can be done creatively but not only that, it’s very important if I do back is that the writing has to be ripped open and really be pushed,” Johnson said. “I came from a time in the Attitude era where we trail-blazed a lot and were fearless in the things we said and did.”
Caldwell talks about the problem with Johnson’s desire for a return to the Attitude era in the middle of TV PG and the benefit his appearance could have for Raw:
Johnson’s involvement could lead to one of the best storylines of the year, depending on who he works with, but the key for Vince McMahon’s business will be receiving the benefit after Johnson’s departure.
