Anyone noticed a pattern when it comes to The Rock and full-time talents? No? Let me show you one. Anytime The Rock makes his way to a WWE ring, somebody on the main roster is getting humiliated either verbally or physically, sometimes both.

If you don't believe me, go back and watch all his WWE appearances post-Wrestlemania 29, none of them have helped storylines or have put over anyone.

"Oh, but it's a major rub for them," no it's not. Getting a rock bottom out of nowhere does nothing for your status in the company or for your popularity with the fans at home. Talent after talent have received a metaphorical dressing down from The Rock every time he appears on WWE television.

Damien Sandow, Eric Rowan, Cody Rhodes and Rusev have all been used as pawns in The Rock's TV cameos.

At Wrestlemania last year, he basically ended the career of Eric Rowan, as losing a match in the fastest time in history literally proclaimed him dead to the WWE Universe. The Rock doesn't put over anyone unless he feels like it, case in point being his cousin Roman Reigns.
