He's just so good He's so he was so good as a not likeable asshole But you like them anyway because he was funny and entertaining Hollywood rock was one of the best versions of the rock I'm not even gonna hold you. It's crazy. Hollywood Hulk Hogan is easily one of the best versions of Hulk Hogan Hollywood rock easy one of the best versions of the rock. Let's get into this one Appreciate our love support. Let's do this thing your boy pav aka wrestling I'm happy to announce that today's video is once again sponsored by sheath underwear SummerSlam 2002 when the main event was the past versus the future It was the rock versus Brock Lesnar for the WWE title and although for the past three years The rock had been one of the most beloved wrestlers in history things were changing The people's opinion on the rock was slowly shifting from our hero to sellout by August of 2002 It became clear that the rocks first priority was now Hollywood after the success of the Scorpion King the rock was getting more and more Rolls in Hollywood and spending less and less time in the ring and the fans slowly began to turn on the rock for going Hollywood so when the rock got his ass beat by a rookie Brock Lesnar and lost the title There was no sympathy for the rock instead Everyone cheered for his downfall when SummerSlam 021 off the air the rock actually grabbed a microphone and instantly got Booth by the live crowd all he wanted to do was cut a nice promo for all the people in attendance But the audience didn't want any of them Thank you So he grabs the mic and just says as of now sing along with the rock is over and the rock just disappeared back to Hollywood Even though the rock was gonna be gone for months on end even though he's gonna be gone for the rest of the year a good Six months the seeds were planted for a rock heel turn It was a heel shirt that was much needed but nobody and I mean nobody was expecting the 2003 rock heel turn to be anything like I would ended up being in January of 03 Vince McMahon was in his blood feud with Hulk Hogan and he announced that he is bringing back a special someone to beat Hogan's ass for him And he announces it's the rock the first time we're gonna see the rock in six months and when we see him He looks totally different now. We had the bald fade going on the sunglasses were back And he instantly was just acting so damn extra the fans hated the rock because he went to Hollywood Because they thought the rock was a sell-out and that he was going to become a typical Hollywood douchebag And that's exactly what the Hollywood rock character became and that's what makes it work They date this is when WWE didn't have a problem calling audible So hope that is a thing in the past calling audible if you got somebody that's about He's getting booed or she's getting booed to oblivion and you want them to be a face turn them You have to it's the only way it works and they saw this and they went with it It was perfect for weeks He wouldn't even appear in person He would just be there via satellite and one night Hogan was in the ring and he was cutting his promo And the rock just appears on the screen while eating an apple and I was like, oh Hogan You know, just keep going just keep going the rock just wanted to watch I just want to listen Hogan cut his promo in the ring and even the rock was there alive via satellite He's still just owned Hogan and that was the thing in 2003 once the rock went Hollywood He owned everyone and everything every wrestler every announcer every crowd in O3 the rock just ran the show So Hogan is trying to cut this promo right and the rock just keeps cutting in and just making a mess Hogan is ranting He's being super serious. He's trying to sell the match and the rock just runs yawning So Hogan gets more amped up and he's trying to cut a typical 80s Hogan promo and the rock just cuts in Yeah, Hogan, it's getting kind of late. Can you skip to the part where you go? The rock wants to go home and Hogan is still trying he's doing his best And the rock is just making it an absolute mockery talking about how he has to go eat tofu And he wants to go eat his wife's pie and yeah, even though he wasn't even in the building He made Hulk Hogan look like a bozo and once the rock was back in person He was as Hollywood as ever. His promos would be legendary. He would just come out and for 10 minutes Just owned a crowd. He was walking around with a swagger like he truly did not give a fuck and the best part was He didn't he was a Hollywood star now. This was just a side gig So he would just pull up and do whatever he wanted acted damn so good It was comedic gold when he finally did appear in person He was cutting a promo in the ring on SmackDown and oh wait, sorry, you know, we forgot the rock is a big time Hollywood star And now he's a busy guy He has to take a phone call from his agents in the middle of the ring in the middle of the episode of SmackDown So he's just casually having a conversation on the phone Well, the crowd is just waiting for him to be done any second now So then he hangs up and he's fine. He's back to normal, but then he gets a call from his wife So he takes a second phone call in the middle of his promo In one promo one minute the crowd will love him like he's 99 rock the next minute They would hate him and boo him out of the building In the third minute They were just in awe and cheering because they realized he's just so elite at what he does This man literally cut a promo on SmackDown where he basically asked the crowd if he should turn heel one last time Do you want to boo the rock? Every week he just had the crowd in the palm of his hands and it was just remarkable I remember he had an in-ring promo with Hogan and does he go there and go face-to-face with Hogan like he used to? Is he gonna be you know, rocky be a macho and just be the man? Nope, he's gonna spit in Hogan's face and run away like a little kid So when the way out 2003 it was the first Hollywood rock match and it was also the first time ever We got probably my favorite wrestling entrance of all time The two-minute intro that builds up the ambient music the killer instrumental that kicks in with the guitar The lights are dimming and they start flashing and the rock finally walks out just looking like the biggest deal We have ever seen in wrestling the swagger the conference He's a gentleman Hollywood rock was just legendary and the best part was he would just get even better and more entertaining Once he was in the ring once he actually had a match He would just be so extra and so annoying yet so awesome He'd be doing the most extra movements Hogan's bandana acting like he is Hogan doing his taunts He would do like the most simple move like a Samoan drop and then start clapping because he was so impressed with himself From the point of his facial expressions were better than ever He was just so damn entertaining and I don't think anyone would ever forget the iconic rock promo in Toronto Where after getting booed by Toronto at WrestleMania 18 He comes back a year later after being Hogan for the second time And just destroys the crowd and gets his revenge and many consider this one of the greatest heel promos of all time And what was really special about this run was at this point the rock was so secure with this position He was so confident and he knew that he was the biggest deal around He wasn't afraid to joke around and put over other people Yo during this time he would have the iconic promos of the hurricane Yeah, those are great. So with the hand burglar, he would have the promos of Christian He called him a hand burglar bro And he would go out in the ring and put over a book or tea But without a doubt the most genius invention during the Rocks Hollywood run has to be the rock concert This man was so talented so funny so at the peak of his powers That not only once but twice in back-to-back months The main event of rock was the rock sitting in the ring Singing and playing the guitar holding his very own rock concert. Yeah, there will never ever be another rock Hollywood rock was just untouchable and even though he was just his persona for three or four months Just four months of him being the character He cemented it as legendary. He went to mania. He put on Austin's vest acted a damn Great match went against Austin Then he had a match with Goldberg that was 10 minutes put him over and left And yeah in three months he came became one of the best characters you'd ever seen Then he was gone. Well, that's what made it even more awesome in just three months He took all the fans that hated him the ones that said he sold out and that rocky sucks And in just four months he became so elite that they were begging him to stay This will forever be my favorite version of the rock It was my first introduction to the rock when I first started watching wrestling in late Oh three and early oh four I had shows on vhs because of my cousins and this is how I got introduced to the rock And of course, of course the most important detail was This was the rock that was in here comes the pain This was the rock that was in the greatest wrestling game of all time and it's anonymous when I think of Hollywood rock I think of here comes the pain I think of that long ass Hollywood entrance that I would never skip and watch every single time I played the game I remember how bad as he was in the game His character was just so fun to play with the special animations and everything the clapping the point of the head He wrestled in the game just like how we did in real life when he was Hollywood rock As a douchebag And it was awesome Now at the end of day it is so impressive how in just four months the rock made this character so iconic and so memorable It's something that lives on in wrestling forever And even though he only wrestled like what five or six matches the promos he cut the interactions that he had the crowds that he owned The everything just his aura Hollywood rock will forever just be legendary and yeah in my opinion even though it was such a short time And it was towards the tail end of his career. This was the peak of the rock This was him at his best This was when he could control the audience so much because he learned everything from 99 2001 this was when he was at his best and I just wish I wish it was longer But man It was just it was just different.
