8 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (4 Mar - Results & Review)

1. Mega Powers Lash Out At Rock

For the past 15 years or so, current WWE superstars have been hindered by this inability to knock any luster off Attitude Era wrestlers. Try as they might, but the big names of the late 90s have remained largely untouchable, resulting in current stars feeling like second-class citizens.

Recently though, Cody Rhodes and now Seth Rollins have taken some serious swipes at one of the biggest Attitude Era stars, The Rock. Cody pretty much is firing on all cylinders, insulting Rock’s dated promos and his pompous behavior. He remains at the top of his game on the mic. But it was Rollins who gave Rock’s routine right back to him.

Seth recommitted himself to standing with Cody against the Bloodline Monday night, but he also gave Rock some of his own medicine, creating a childish nickname for the Great One, dubbing him “Diarrhea Dwayne” because what he spews from his mouth “has the consistency of wet baby poop.”

Yes, this was incredibly stupid and childish and embarrassing all at once. But fans immediately chanted it, and it was no worse than half the insults Rock has tossed out the past 20 years, which coincidentally is how long Rollins said it’s been since Rocky was cool. On that scale alone, it gets a pass – barely. (Worth noting also that Rollins got serious when talking about Rock saying he could just nix the World Heavyweight Championship from existence, telling him, "I dare you to try.")

And as expected, Cody and Seth all but confirmed that they will accept the Bloodline’s challenge for a tag match at WrestleMania, firing up the crowd even more and giving fans a hook for SmackDown in the process.
