Rock was kinda fat cause of his samoan side but in 2000 he got liposuction and start working out lot more. he also has diabetes, But Still One of the Best Pure athlete of all time.
@SuperNoX86 I don't think that Rock would've really went into MMA. He'd proably do it if his WWF career didn't pan out. But other than that I'm pretty sure he would've sticked to WWF main event or not.
Lawler, HHH and goldust are still in the wwe and who would thought the rock would become a legend. I think turning hill and joining the nation and re-thinking his character done him the world of good and women is Sunny that is commenating she had flings with Bret Hart and Shawn Michales and probably the whole wwe locker room she got around lol
@hanmerboys vince isnt a 3rd generation wrestler he is a 3rd generation promoter and a first generation wrestler shane is a second generation wrestler
They really put Rock over through his debut, probably because he played NCAA Football (they kept showing that clip of him sacking Charlie Ward) and his third generation pedigree. But man his push died very quickly. He was jobbing within no time.
@peterp21 4real? I don't remember that. Especially since he won the IC title within his first 3 months in the biz, went on to join the Nation, become the leader within a few months of joining, had high profile feuds with Shamrock, HHH, Austin, etc, then beat Mankind for the then vacant WWF Championship belt, only 2 short years after he debuted...
hahahaha he kicked those people a** lol and now righ now the rock retired 7 years ago and i like the rock better anyway i love the rock althoug i wasnt born in 1996 i was born like 3 year after that anyhow i love the rock and i wish he hasnt retired cause he's the most electrifying man in all sports entertainment
and that was the rocks first match even back then he rocked
hahahaha he kicked those people a** lol and now righ now the rock retired 7 years ago and i like the rock better anyway i love the rock althoug i wasnt born in 1996 i was born like 3 year after that anyhow i love the rock and i wish he hasnt retired cause he's the most electrifying man in all sports entertainment
@Bhaskarjyoti1992 Nah I'm not an idiot. You can't tell me what I do or don't realize. And again. I TRAIN in professional wrestling. So until you get in a ring, you can't say shit to me.
It's possible that Dwayne Johnson's WWF/E career may have been short lived if he hadn't got injured when he did and decided to reinvent himself as the Rock.
alas, the immortal "Rocky" chant was born! and he didnt even have to do anything.. well he did hold up a fist and look like sissy but i doesnt matter. haha
@superfrickensexy Really. They didn't say that when Triple H debuted in the WWE. In fact, Vince McMahon HATED Triple H for a good amount of time. But anyways, do I know wrestling is fake? Seeing as how I train in it, I can say it's FAR from fake, and until you get in a ring, you can't prove me otherwise.
You never see people getting this big a push their first match out these days. The only debut that comes close to this is when Carlito won the US Championship his first night on the job.
If The Rock starts to talk about the past it would be something like this "...then I layeth the smackethdown on that golden ffffreaaak of Goldust! Ugh good God!..."
The Rock has had an amazing career. The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H and The Undertaker are the big 4 of WWF/E that maintained a strong fan base to finally beat WCW.
i remembered his debut on wwf.he was a polite and nice kid.everybody in the arena was impressed by his performance and i think that he might be the wwf champion in the future when i was there.
