rp4qu look at some of flairs promo from the 80's and u will c were rock gets it from but rock is the best of the last ten years but only the last ten years woooooooo!!!
i remember this was the 1st time i ever seen the rock. cuz i had stopped watching wrestling for a good number of years. and when i started to rewatch it was when smackdown came on upn. and i saw the rock for the 1st time. and i was like wtf is this dude??? cuz i never seen him before. so i was like man i am so out of the loop. then i saw him wrestler and was like cool and they were hyping the rock bottom. and i was like well what's the rock bottom, and then he didnt hit it.
Wow.... The Rock. Around dat time, I think I was a baby or a young boy... Looking back at the history of WWF is 1 million times better than watching RAW now. It seems as RAW revolves around John Cena. I wish I can see The Rock on Raw this year....
I've always hated Shane McMahon for specific reasons 1. Fake tough guy when he's a pusscake 2. Acts like he has a bigger **** than he actually does 3. Thinks he's Vince 4. Steals everyone dialogue and quotes by stealing Austin "Ah uh". 5. Tries too hard to sound powerful
LMAO "Stone cold, The Rock is gonna have to give credit where credit is due.. Stone cold listen up. The Rock says..... then again Stone Cold, The Rock says you are and will forever be THE biggest PIECE of Texas trailer park trash WALKING GODS GREEN EARTH!!
the wwe will start to see when the ratings continue to sag then they'll make some changes...but for all of u clamoring for the rock keep in mind vince was always sucessful when creating new stars wrestling is always cyclical....i think it's the lack of quality writers and yes the PG era/wwe universe that has been the downward trend. That's why they were so successful from 97-00 rock, mankind, shamrock, kane, austin, even edge/christian, hardys, all created stars
@lukassinterklas There's more. They both actually started out as a heel. They both are forner wwe champions and former tag champions. And Cena is actually loved by fans when he's a face. One time when I re-watched cena's debut on raw I got goosebumps by the magnitude of the cheers.
It was moments like this that made me and a few of my friends argue about how whether or not wrestling was real or fake, it was no surprise, i damn near went ALL day about how wrestling was REAL, these moments in the 90's were SOOOOO much better than the bullshit that comes on now, it damn near makes me sick, NO entertainment, NO substance IMO & jus grade A garbage, i only watch it when i cant do nothing else on Monday nights *sigh* Vince, you're an assclown #ThatIsAll
the rock and austin put the wwe on the map hogan didnt do nothing he left the wwf(e) and joined wcw the rock and austin made wrestling they entertain people unlike hogan always keep saying BROTHER!!
It wasn't just the stars....there was something different IN the crowd back then...hell, a lot of those chants and question-answer things were invented BY the crowds. Where's that interaction now?
this without a doubt was the greatest "face" turn of all time.. the rock was so cool that the fans loved him even though he was portrayed as the bad guy ...
and they want to put john cena after him please. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY DO!!!!!! JOHM CENA COULD NEVER WALK DOWN THE MOST ELECRIFYING BOLV'D!!!!!!!
i remember this, its when the rock turns face. lmao i love how hes supposed to be a heel, and yet, everyones is cheering him on and he loves it. The greatest wrestler to step in the wwf ring... The Rock
The Rock was hated during his Corporation period, because of how he'd turned heel. But they way he lost the title meant the fans slowly turned to his side, you can see throughout the promo (and especially when he insults Shane) they really get on his side. It's probably one of the defining moments in Rock's career.
@aspey99 actually face/heel turns are a result of patterns in the audience's responses. from the beginning, 70% of the crowd is already cheering him. the truth is that the Rock was just too damn funny to be a hated heel - the only thing keeping him heel was Vince McMahon. It would be 4 years before they'd turn the Rock heel again, and that didn't stick either, coz he'd cut the funniest promos with the Hurricane, making his cruiserweight ass famous!
@HeckMayster Sorry, but Bret Hart vs. Austin and Austin vs. Vince was as good if not better. Austin was so over the top those rivarlies, it was fantastic. But I would agree, Rock vs Austin is CLASSIC.
he wasnt a very good heel not because he could do bad things its just because the people liked him too much. I mean he was a good heel in doing dirty things but the crowd would still respond to him with a ovation most times.
True. But he actually used that to his advantage during his last heel turn in 03. He used the fact that people were still cheering for him to manipulate the audience and told them that they weren't allowed to singalong with him. It was brilliant.
this was definitely the turning point in rock's character... he mentions the home city by its name for probably one of the first times...now it was okay to sing-along with the rock! haha
oh quit it with this cena crap , don't even mention him please , makes me puke , the rock practically owned him at the hall of fame induction ceremony
wwe needs to go back to spike tv and go back to a tv14 rating. Also make the storylines more personal. The orton/mcmahon storyline is good and somewhat interesting because its personal
lol the rock didnt give austin any credit after all lol. stone cold you are and will forever be THE BIGGEST PIECE OF TEXAS TRAILER PARK TRASH WALKIN GOD'S GREEN EARTH LOL!
Notice he said stars not 'wrestlers'. Sometimes you can be a big star in wwe without being a good wrestler.Santino's character is great which is why he's over,but his wrestling...eh..
personaly i liked it when miz came out and you knew somone was going to beat his roody poo (candy ass!!) that was more fun that watching the pussy win.
