I loved watching these interviews back then during the good days. Everything always felt so much more professional and realistic. The Rock is just so damn natural in this segment. JR was always the best interviewer. Great times was always fun to watch cos it had quality....SPORTS entertainment quality...not superstar entertainment.
I loved this interview. 99% of the time, I want see the charismatic, untouchable, catchphrase speeling Great One. But in a (kayfabe) situation like this, I wanted to see that The Rock was as human as anyone else, and was visibly shaken and sickened by the implications of it. Humbled, troubled, doubting and referring to himself in the first person, in some ways this was The Rock's finest ever performance. it was great to see him bounce back from it quickly, though. More dramatic than any soap.
Message To all the People who despise Rock for not making part time Appearences on WWE.....
Lets Assume some Reality Checks :
Vince: Rock will u come to Raw tonight?
Rock :Ok but? Whats the Story and Built Up ?
Vince: U Come while Cena is talkin & Entertaining the Crowds and U come in as heel ,Disturbing Cena then Cena insults u then kicks your ass & Performs his 4 moves of doom on u .
Rock: Shut ur Mouth,Know Your Role Jabroni Forget it !
@SFNDMK Hey me 2 chilling on holidays in Mauritius right now :] . HBK gone 2 ?!!
what can i say on the state of WWE that ship has long been sailed.Good for HBK no more embarrassment for him.jst w8 for HHH & undertaker (is he still in?) then we can pay our respects to Wwezzzzzzzzzzz..............
@CrissCross181289 well tbf shawn ws still the top dog despite not being in his prime he wrestled and entertained like he was 30 again which is saying even though wwe is struggling with the serious LACK OF TALENT GOING ON. AND this is apprently going to be takers final year this year or next year so were pretty much doomed. and lucky u Mauritius awesome hope ur enjoying it :D
Because the vast majority of WWF/WWE wrestlers have been white. >_> And most of the black wrestlers at WWE, except Lashley, Booker T and Shelton Benjamin have sucked anyway. (Not being racist, it's a fact)
It might not be "PC" for me to make out a statement like that, but it's true. There were only three exceptions, and there's never been that many black wrestlers anyway.
Why do you idiots want to turn it into a race issue? "Omg there's no black's here as ___ or champion of ____"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He stated that "Rikishi deserves what's coming for him", but at the end of the interview he said "I hope Steve Austin doesn't do anything that He will regret in his life".
The Rock contradicted himself in this interview haha.

Actually if you think about it, except for the Rock the WWF has always been all about the white guys being world champion.

The Rock is not the first black champion, Ron Simmons is

@Ckaalund Correction Ron Simmons was the first black WCW champion, not WWF/WWE champion. So the Rock WAS the 1st black WWF/WWE champion.

Uh, no. He's saying Rikishi deserves anything coming to him but he's worried about Stone Cold going too far for his OWN sake.
MysticNinjaJay 3 years ago 10
that means he hopes stone cold doesnt end up killing him
but if he gets the hell beat out of him rikishi deserves it
