5. It Would Be A Smart Way To Promote Fast & Furious 7
WrestleMania 31 takes place on March 29, 2015. Fast & Furious 7 starring The Rock is released in theatres on April 3, 2015. What better way to promote a major motion picture than to appear at WrestleMania and possibly have some co-stars at ringside? It would get people talking about the movie in a major way. The other side of it is that Rock likely has to do a lot of interviews and trips around the world to promote such a major film. He's doing that now with Hercules. He's tweeted about how he's been to Australia, to various parts of Europe and of course all over the USA as well. The man is always busy and it never really slows down for him. As an aside, does the world really need seven Fast & Furious movies? The franchise has made a lot of money and that's why they keep doing them, but it's rare for any series to have seven movies. It's not like the plot in these films are great either. It's probably going to make hundreds of millions like the other ones while those of us that actually like plots in films wonder what happened. Getting back to the point, Rock would really only need to make a handful of appearances leading up to a WrestleMania match anyway, so if they worked with the movie people they could make sure he's off on Mondays in order to promote WrestleMania.
