Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of the ALWAYS imitated but NEVER duplicated STATE OF THE 'E in blog form! I am your host for the event, Rated_R(ob)KO!!

Now, I would like to bring to your attention as to why this blog is named what it is. I have thought long and hard about something and The Rock made a DAMN valid point this past Monday on RAW. There's been tons of history in THE 'E but lets save face for a moment and discuss from the 80's on to today, shall we?

With Hulk Hogan leading the charge and revitalizing the business in the 80's and then Steve Austin doing the same in the 90's and John Cena with this generation... no one, NO one can claim that they're beaten all of the company's FACES at WrestleMania.

It's by this rationale that I hope The Rock actually DOES win against John Cena this Sunday. The Rock was never THE face of the company in "The Attitude Era", he was 2nd. There's been a pair since the company went mainstream...

Hulk Hogan had The Ultimate Warrior
Steve Austin had The Rock
John Cena has Randy Orton

Yes, there's been people in between like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and plenty of others but, they've never been THE people that THE 'E completely relies on to carry the company... the flag bearers. Those guys named above were those guys. But not even Warrior, Rock and Orton compare to Hogan, Austin and Cena.

So yes, that is why The Rock needs to beat Cena. And in all honesty, that's why he should. He's never been the FACE but to have that legacy and honor to beat all of them at "The Grand Daddy Of Them All" would be something I definitely want to see. Cena can go on to beat The Rock at SummerSlam and Survivor Series and completely win the war but, the 'Mania win should, could and has to go to The Rock.

I know many will more than likely disagree but when you look at the big picture, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

I really have nothing else to input with this blog and I know it's rather short so what I'm going to do is obviously ask for questions, comments, concerns, death threats, and general snarkyness below. Also, just for giggles, I'll throw out my WrestleMania predictions.
