The Rock's WWE Debut

[RapidBeastFire]

Jr: now there's gonna be the man right there

Boy was he right

[SinCara619mexican]

Poor damien (jakes snake)

[Ghouse666]

Brian Adams was Badass

[weyonert123]

Look at his hair LOL

[Zofim239]

does somebody know how old was he?

[waun87]

If he would have continued like that going into the Additute Era he probably would have never made it big time. The "Rocky Sucks" chants got him started, and in the Attitude Era he was able to get over the top. The People Champ indeed.

[Aydee2020]

He was a jabroni!

[TheJoshbrian]

the people's debut

[viperariff]

Like JR said "there's gonna be the man right there"

[1Rocky91491]

2:50 They were CHANTING HIS NAME....! (And this was before the "Rocky Sucks" chants lol)

[KillerJayy1]

Gold dust needs a good push he's been here since the begining

[blahmehblah1]

Goldust was always there busting his nuts

he's never left, but no one cares about him

[thetechx]

@blahmehblah1

??? Goldust has been in WCW and TNA. I believe he even burned his Goldust attire in a trash can on Nitro.

[blahmehblah1]

@thetechx What are you trying to say?

[thetechx]

@blahmehblah1

You said he never left. I'm saying that he has left, numerous times. Although him burning Goldust was on Raw. But he did go to WCW and bury the character in a promo.

[eddieguerrero122]

Wow..

[MahdiRanger]

The most average moves back then put anyone away for the 3 count

[slapshot254]

Jim Ross said it first. "That's gonna be the man right there.". . . Ah yea!

[Metal1998]

1996.. feels like it was yesterday

[raywar3]

man, Rock will always be the best wwe star. i think i know who's the 2013 hall of famer

[goku7370]

@wangundegi who the hell says that out of know where homo

[hieuthepunk]

nice hair , rocky

[wangundegi]

rocks hair looks like pubic hair

[25Lawlis]

The rocks a one hit wonder dont you guys think???...nek minit

[Ghoshlad1989]

the best bit of this video is the rock beating goldust here was an upset lol 6 years later rock trash talks him in a funny segment lol oh good times

[robinji1]

GOd, I remember getting pissed off at the spineless referees .. what blocks they were

[streetfighterchallen]

He had hair like Eraserhead, but DAMN HE'S GOOD.

[DanielElcockerspanul]

see ya at survivor series again rock.. between rocks hint and lawler promising survivor series is gonna b e electrifying.. its obvious now

[facup88]

Jake the sneak's entrance music. Is awesome !!

[EnigmaDrath]

Ahahahaha! The most epic People's Hairstyle ever!

Bless, he looks so thrilled and fresh-faced to be there. Who'd have ever thought he'd go on to become the most electrifying man in sports entertainment?

[jay0thom]

Sunny was so wet during this match

[infernityzero2011]

sunny was such a slut back then

[fahedrey]

Lmfao nice haircut rock

[ReidyRoo1985]

lol the Rock should definitely consider that haircut again!

[gayboybernie123]

He started out like that..... Then became the best wrestler ever!!!

[smuvsatin]

where was this

[condeguga]

is this MSG? the rock says he's gonna return in this arena before wm.

[MsApExPredAtOr]

This is where The Rock is gonna lay the smacketh down on John Cenas Ass!!! Give Me a thumbs up if Your on Team Bring It!!!!

[Ram3nf0x668]

my god his hair

[ashton485]

what year was this

[SacTownSharksFan]

@ashton485

1996 Survivor Series

[moneymademclovin]

@undisputed4life. Ur right I don't see potential in that kid at all

[undisputed4life]

This guy will never become big.

[freddiegibbs101]

@undisputed4life a mere flash in the pan.

[JTJudgment]

Like this if the rock's hint video brought u here :)

[WadeMultiBarrett]

at 0:46, the guy speaking in the microphone, has R-TRUTH's voice !!

[luvmestrat]

@WadeMultiBarrett "Wildman" Marc Mero

[jakeyb414]

lol to be honest i came here cuz the rocks gunna whoop candy ass here

[blackteets]

@jakeyb414 haha, you saw the video too??

[jakeyb414]

@blackteets lmao yup and i cant wait for it to happen shitty john cena gunna get his candy ass whooped :)

[blackteets]

@jakeyb414 when is wwe going to madison square garden? but is that means cena will beat punk since if he lose he will get fired and if he get fired, there is nobody for cena to fight with

[blackteets]

@blackteets *nobody for rock to fight with

[jakeyb414]

@blackteets i think cena retains the title at mitb but then del rio cashes it in on him straight away and becomes the new wwe champ which then leads up to survivour series

[jakeyb414]

@blackteets cena gets fired and goes away for a while which leads him coming back as a heel to take over new nexus

[blackteets]

@jakeyb414 haha, cena didn't get fired..just watched the latest raw. it was vince that get fired!!!

[jakeyb414]

@blackteets ahhhhhh for fuck sake

[blackteets]

@jakeyb414 kinda want to see cena turn back to heel..i can imagine he bashing one of the wrestlers and talking on the mic "is this what you fans want me to be!!" wwe will make something up for him

[John89FLStudio]

@blackteets He is meant to turn heel at summerslam when he tags with rock apparently.

[blackteets]

@John89FLStudio really?? finally!!!

[qevdev]

The Rock will kick John Cenas candy ass at survivor series 2011 in MSG

[StraightEdgeSavior]

Like if you know this is what Rock's hint was!

[BravoMuchacho11]

21 people are cena fans

[ajenebk]

MSG NY

[TheTevinstar4ever]

- where was this ?

[DolchOfHate]

the people's hair

[Salerwhoa]

Whatever happened to this jobber.

[joesaysso]

I wonder if Triple H remembers Rocks debut when he goes on about saying all of the young guys in the business need to earn their push and that they don't just get pushes for no reason. Debut at a PPV and be the winning sole survivor.....sounds like a pretty solid push right out of the gate.

[EdrickWillis]

ahem WWF not WWE...

[Peasification1]

He looks like the Usos.

[george4ever26101]

@Peasification1 He's related to the Usos.



[zulnaim09]

a nice man... and excited being on the ring.. this man is amazing..

[joekoe97]

I wonder if Dwayne Johnson looks back on this and thinks "My God this is how I started?"

[rogertayloRRR]

whos that blond bum in the begin

[landrykkb]

@bigheadkyle1 Of course,none of us realized what was coming around the corner a year later or less when The Rock turned heel after he returned from an injury.Vince then made one of the few best decisions he ever made along with Stone Cold Steve Austin by allowing Dwayne Johnson's own natural personality be incorporated into his Rock persona.

[landrykkb]

This might not exactly have been the best way Dwayne Johnson(The Rock)could have debuted in the WWF,but he did have to start somewhere like everybody else did,after all.Then again,this was a year before WWF's Attitude Era burst open the floodgates.

[WhatsHappening783402]

What's up with the WWE PUSSY?

[Mohamadelgringo]

Rocky Maivia WTF ??

[MusicalRelease]

Hahaha, I think Rocky was gonna go for the Rock Bottom @ 3:42, but he's right handed and that was a pretty heavy looking dude.

On another note: Wow...Rocky really looked Samoan back in the day.

[xXexoticskidXx]

wat was he thinkin holden a reticulated python like that :(

[meowtrox]

WHY YOU USE "WWE" on the title? THIS IS WWF GOD DAMN IT! THIS IS WWF ATTITUDE NOT YOUR MODERN WWE "ENTERTAINMENT"

[PepsiPope]

@meowtrox Damn roody poos

[PepsiPope]

@meowtrox Damn roody poos

[MrShimuraken]

people know his famliy history in wrestling federation

[MrShimuraken]

LOL maivia ha his great grand father

[nriab23]

Anyone know who the woman was commentating? Stephanie perhaps?

[ecuadragon]

@nriab23 dude, it's sunny who was commentating with jr and king. i seen the ppv back then

[UggaWaggaProductions]

It never is "The Fluffy Bunny". No, it alwas has to be "The Snake This" or "The Viper That".

[teraventure]

From Samoan to America..

From Footballer to Wrestler..

From Unknown to Known..

From Boo'd to Cheered..

From New comer... To Pro Wrestler..

DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON!!!

[honeymraz]

Is that a real snake? He threw it and roll it like pasta

[honeymraz]

Rocky Maivia ???? OMG. I didn't know his name was that, he looks funny those days.

No one can imagine his transformation to Dwayne The Rock Johnson, he looks handsome and cool these days.

[Japxican]

Jake the snake fucking sucks. What a pussy. The rock on the other hand laid the smackdown on there candy asses

[MrManmountainrock]

i like the rock but he is soooo over rated these days. i will take a true super worker like jake roberts over the rock any day of the week

[RicanX5]

What's Burt Raynolds doing there?

[varianojeda]

I remember watching this. Wow!

[rtfuhj]

i like this version of rock better cause he could actually!! wtf happened!!

[iszwins]

"They're already chanting his name"

"It won't be the last time..."

...

[kolisionn]

man jr knows talent when he sees it. who wouldve thought that man would someday become a household name in the wwf/e

[twoot2]

Look how great The Rock was in his first match.Now he is the GREATEST of ALL time.THE PEOPLES CHAMPION!!!

[m3andchip5]

Not even 5 minutes into his debut and The People chanting his name...

[kolisionn]

@m3andchip5 the match was actually 23 mins long lol

[breakyoselffool85]

Crazy hair, ROCK!

[KasirRham]

debut in a Hogan match and have J.R. pronounce u the man........if that wasn't a prophecy

[Geolink2349]

LOL Rock had an extreme flat top

[anzsai]

Wonder what the rock would think if sees this again,i guess he would say somethin like "wow i looked like a jabronee with hair waitin to be shoved straight into my monkey ass"".....

[mnbfavor]

LMAO

[buddyz2]

He looks so lame back then. I wonder who's idea it was to give him a haircut like that, the guy looks like cosmo kramer

[pmic2011]

" LOOK HES A NEWCOMER AND EVERYBODY IS CHANTING HIS NAME ALREADY"

WHAT A GIFTED MAN

[EightyNineEnt]

@pmic2011 "And it won't be the last time"

[321AndroidLDT]

@pmic2011 Where did this take place? in chicago or somewhere else?

[FurioTigre]

@321AndroidLDT New York, methinks.

[321AndroidLDT]

@FurioTigre Oh its in new york? okay thanks

[TheBoySomeAreBest]

@pmic2011 because his father and grandfather was the greatest wrestling legend in the history of wrestling

[randyorton30rko]

@pmic2011 cause his dad was w wwf wrestler also so they know rock from his dad

[20Mako]

@pmic2011 Remember he played Football before he egan to wrestle

[BenjaminFrankenstein]

[sensationaldenny]

It was only 3 years after this that the Rock got his first movie role

[MeTaLiXe]

LOL this is funny.. and JR said it .. there's gonna be the man.. boy he's right.... THE ROCK :D

[soufeazy]

The Rock was just destined to be the greatest.

[ImaFookinRacistYayyy]

[JoshVol182]

[Xboxgamer242]

[Misfitgraves23]

[demolition000]

[musicmakespeace]

[MultiPring]

[xxJ0hnMartinxx]

J.R Epic foretelling!!!!! All the greats debut at the series lol

[sagstar89]

J.R Epic foretelling!!!!!

[Frreak3045]

[DoggyHateFire]

It was a good thing the Rock went bald.

[MrKiller0326]

[TheGreatOne97]

[4EVERBULLET]

[zxvi36]

oh god........He was with a bunch of losers

[TheSportysporty]

S E E  M Y C H A N N E L !!!W W F 2000!

[GenerationXeroFilms]

I was watching this live on PPV when it happened.

[Leonation1]

5:37 sounds like hes saying John cena

[ohbabyimpriceless]

Rocky Maivia was probably thinking when he made his debut..."Okay, let me be in this for a few years until Hollywood comes knocking at my door then I'M OUTTA HERE!" lol btw i didnt realize how much Marc Mero was lame and boy hes even lamer than I thought.

[ErinAlexis86]

Awww... I remember this. I think I was in 5th grade. I was only 9. safe to say it was love @ 1st sight. He was my first celebrity crush. I remember saying that I really liked him but his haircut was awful.

[mrvbadass]

1:40 so thats where they got DX from well the colors atleast and the design

[Hitmonchan107]

I was there :)

First time I saw The Rock. I even have a photo with him. Never did I know that he will eventually become not the Great one, but the GREATEST one.

[krazyboyle1]

Sunny should of stayed as a commentator instead of giving wrestlers blow jobs for drugs.

[f120104ever]

3:50 the people's punch was born.

[keelsterr]

if the rock came back as rocky maivia it would be so much better than the shit that the wwe are coming out with now. miz and alberto have nothing compared to the rock.

[AristideLimIII]

wat paperview was this?

[CensoredPunkClown]

Which year was it? 1995?

[TheMusicShrine]

@CensoredPunkClown 1996

[CensoredPunkClown]

@TheMusicShrine Ah, okay.

[weedzfan1]

check out the size of that snake!!!!!lmao

[MrAmsheel1]

he changed his face character to heel to popularize his image...

It's the other way around for John cena

BOYCOTT THE PG ERA

[236Walleeh236]

And the legend was born.

[TheJojoso]

wwf u mean?

[bushregmike]

It is funny how The Rock "grew" in his height. If Rock is listed at 6 ft 5 that means Jake Roberts is what lol 6 ft 6?

[hwahwai1]

i feel sry for tht Snake (Python)

[lastman4u]

The most electriflying haircut 

[Zander10100]

"Look at this he's only a newcomer their already CHANTING HIS NAME."

ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY

[rebellion6331]

[ramennoodlechef]

Marc Mero was such an underrated wrestler.

[miamimagicians]

@ramennoodlechef Marc could do a lot of crazy shit like a Shooting Star ect!

[jokomocotoko]

[Heroa300IsDaMan]

@jokomocotoko it's not big show

[riffman1218]

[BlackSteve1104]

"Now there's gonna be the man, right there" - JR

Boy, did he call it

[spyrakas]

@BlackSteve1104 My God JR was chillingly accurate

[silverescalante]

[mehdi16ibrahim]
