This is scheduled to air on RAW tomorrow and through the week.  Meltzer reports that Microsoft and WWF have struck a deal to promote the X-Box and the WWF RAW game during the program(Who mention this on the board yesterday).  WWF will still air PS2 and Nintendo commercials on there program, but there will be no special promotion....

Wonder how much it was.

Perhaps he meant to say:

"The amount of money that went into my pocket is great"... :D

Coarse Rock didn\'t confirm anything about a partnership but Dave Melzeter has now confirmed that they have struck a deal to promote the X-Box to it\'s fullest.

Any dummy would know, common sense even tells u this why would Rock be hyping the X-Box like this if something wasn\'t going on.  DUH

Why didn\'t they get someone who would know a little bit more about games rather than some wrestler.

Don\'t diss Lugz punk! And don\'t diss the Rock, or question his motives. I *hate* wrestling, but the Rock is the ****ing bomb. XB IS creative. Sorry if you Sony puppets can\'t see that XB just has PS2 beat, and is genuinly better.

Also, note, while I said XB is better, I never said PS2 is bad. I still love my PS2, and I\'m not selling it, unless I\'m homeless.

I hate it when celebrities or well-know people (especially those who know squat about gaming) promote certain gaming platforms.

 "Hi, I\'m Britney Spears and I have the Indreama because its COOL."


 WOW - Lets all get the Indreama because Britney Spears has it and says its cool!

 *ahem*

 I could care less about Wrestling games and the shows, though... THQ is really the most talented wrestling game maker, imo...

I think they picked a good person to Hype the X box

after all the Rock made his millions pretending to do the "real thing", is that what we are going to expect from the console too. Plus having WWF backing the X box will suit the Microsoft fanboys , due to the fact that all fanboys love WWF.


P.S to all WWF fanboys

Santa is not Real too.

OMG!!! i just say that part with the rock and...who the hell do they think will buy this crap? 5 year olds? because those are only people who will actully belive the rock did not take tons of money to do this...

nintendo and sony still have smackdown...which i think would be have been a better choice since that\'s the rock\'s show..

still not buying this piece of junk...and never will.

You know, I\'m not a big supporter of the X-Box myself and I am kinda mad that the WWF did this but you know, its not The Rock\'s fault. Its Vince who makes the decisions, its Vince and his writers who tell The Rock what to say and what to do. He is the biggest star in the WWF(yes, even bigger that Stone Cold, even though I know all of you die-hard SC fans will dissagree on this) and it is only natural to use him to promote it. Besides, WWF has always been multi-platform. I\'m not defending the X-Box or Microsh!t, I\'m defending The Rock. Hes my fav and always will be. You should all know by now that I\'m not an X-Box fanboy. In other words:

"It doesn\'t matter if The Rock is on the X-Box! As long as The Rock has somewhere to layeth the smacketh down on aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall their candy a$$es The Rock is happy. And if that jabroni Bill Gates tries to stick his nose in the Rock\'s buisness, then The Rock will just have to give him the single biggest a$$ kicking of a lifetime. If ya smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell what The Rock is cookin!"


BTW: Whats your problem with The Rock, Deadly Hamster? He is the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be.

I am noteing a huge escalation in Xbox hate recently.

Anywho, in the chat with J Allard, The Rock dropped in a said he owned a PS2 and it was his current favorite along with that cool football game (he did not phrase it that way but i cannot remember the name ;) ).
