People didn't even focus on promos that much back then, they just liked what they heard...we never noticed if any of them broke Character...nobody knew what a breaking character, unless you were a stage actor, theater actor, drama major, or a stand up comedian, no regular person knew what breaking character was, or referred to in pro wrestling because nobody in the late 90's and early 2000's tried being little fake pro wrestling expert's. We watched it for what it was, and watched it week by week. Social Media made everyone a pro wrestling expert all of sudden and a fake and dirtsheet nerds. 🤦 This makes me miss how pro wrestling was back then, when we still can suspened our imagination, when we still can be shocked and surprised without spoilers everywhere. Pro wrestling in the 1980's and 1990's and early 2000's, when we were clueless and watched and had fun. We never said... "Oh you can tell he broke Character."...or Bro Why didn't Michael Cole do this and that, or they should've booked it like this or like that." Ugh it's annoying. because we didn't pay attention that heard...we were Causel fans or just suspended our imagination, invested in a curtain wrestler...we never cared about indie darlings or Japanese wrestlers. It was just an extraordinary time to watch pre-social Media. It was an amazing back then, No Tribalism.
HEEL Rock with the side burns, vercase shirts, arrogant persona is the best version of the Rock. Better than any of his Face Persona. Heel Rock is what put the character on the map.
Yes he'll but he would fight anybody good guy bad guy it didn't matter that's how he got big I remember the nation of domination they wouldn't go out there and face the undertaker and he said he'll take care of it
@@MyDixieNormisYeah. BIG-TIME!!! That mighta been "The Rock's" gimmick, but Show wasn't havin' NONE of it! I never could stand "The Great One". What was so "Great" about him? He came out, lookin' like a Fancy Advertisement for Guys that wanna look "Pretty", and he tooted his own horn so much, that I got sick and tired of it! I just plain-out got sick of lookin' at him-At all!!!!!!
Idk if it’s even the Rock’s mic skills. Like the Rock literally says the same thing nearly every time. But there’s just something about how he delivers it and the raw charisma, like you never get tired of it, it’s great!
@@coreyhall1150As one of the greatest with mic skills, Rock could talk, but they’re not wrong in saying that Rocky repeated himself often; very often. I’ve been steady watching the Attitude Era, since I missed it as a child, and Rocky definitely ran with the same lines week after week, occasionally tossing in something new to run with week after week. For the first half of 1999, he said, “walk down Know Your Role Blvd, hang a left on Jabroni Drive, and check your monkey ass in to the Smackdown Hotel” every damn week for months.
@@coreyhall1150I absolutely LOVE the Rock.. Butttt,,, he does say the same shit over and over........ it's like 50 different badass hilarious catch phrases.. and the Rock just delivers.....¡.!.¡.!.¡.!!!
He'd mix simplistic criticism with intense criticism. He did that intentionally. You'd have to catch the Rock when He'd go indeph and literally roast people. I used to think his trash talk was bland when he was a heel 👠. I hated that he actually made me laugh when I first saw him literally roast someone (that someone being Billy Gun).
Dead? Yet no one from that era who is not dead could ever see him at their absolute best. The Rock conquered all this to a level no one had touched back in 2002.
Loved the Corporate Rock. One of my favorite versions, and late 98 into mid 99 was great. He was the biggest babyface after Austin, and boom after a couple months he's the biggest heel. Everybody still singalongs as usual though.
WWF was 🔥 watching it back in Samoa as a kid all the kids in the village would come over Sunday nights just to get a glimpse of THE ROCK late 90s not much family’s had Tv then in Samoa gold memories ❤
The Big Show barely spoke a word in WCW. The dude just shouted and growled half the time he was there. Imagine not doing any promos and on your second day of the job, you're cutting a promo with the guy who has the best mic skills of all time who was the the height of his powers during the best period of the sport 🤣
@@takweimmohammad9686the difference is the Rock has insane delivery. The dude was dripping in charisma while early big show had the charisma of a wet paper towel
I wonder why can’t they design and script a sequel to attitude era now. A couple of stars can pull it off although they won’t be anywhere close to stone cold and The rock but still wwe can bring back attitude era 2.0
In 99 i was very young and there were only few houses had black and white TV on my village, i didn't know English language and didn't known the taste of dialogue, but now i guess those eras are the best comparing to present. ❤❤
Walk straight down KnowYour Role Boulevard, turn right down Jabrini Lane, and check yourself into the Smackdown Hotel, before The Rock does it for you... 🤣🤣🤣
Man.... I see people go crazy talking about the Rock and his heel work now. This heel rock was his Greatest work as a heel EVER! Back then he had amazing comebacks for everything and for everyone
Rock definitely loved calling people "monkey crap" in 1999 😂
It evolved to Monkey Ass.
“They are just some shit you throw around” - monkey crap, the man is a genius lol
Candy ass too.......
When The Big Show said "Hey Pebble" he almost broke character. Rock thinking.. good one.
😂😂😂😂

Hey Pebble was Dewayne weakness.😊😅😂
So pepple was introduced by the big show before the rock used it on cena??😂😂
nah, Rock was ljke "that's all you can conjure? that is weak. You gotta do better bruh."😂😂😂
Early 99 rock promos with the sideburns are untouchable...he was still a heel here
His absolute peak
More like the porkchop side burns lol 😂
Believe or not the side burn and the image was his Father Rocky Johnson in the 70s...he paying homage to his dad RIP

I love how Rock and Big Show instantly didn't get along 😂😂😂
Hey pebble was good. The rock appreciates that good one 😂😂😂
I remembered when The Rock's mother referred to him as The Pebble during a speech she made during the Hall of Fame 😂.
Even todays rock can’t beat this rock on mic.
Not at all lol this rock is untouchable on the mic
Agreed
There would never be a rock greater than the rock with the sideburns
That's because he got emasculated and felt the need to "Apologize" for something he said I'm the wwf out of fear of being canceled by Twitter soyboys.
I wish we got to see Randy Savage vs The Rock
Know your role Blvd 😂
💀
After that, Big Show picked Vince up like a baby lol
The Rock used to hold the WWE title like a rolled up newspaper.
😭😭😭
Legendary sideburns aren't talked about enough
Rocky had so many catchphrases, "rudy poo", "candy ass", "know your role Blvd" , "know your role and shut your mouth", etc🤣i could go on and on
Now.......THAT is The Rock I know and love 🤨😎
What's wrong with The Final Boss?
The kids will NEVER know about how good The Rock was on the mic. Classic Rock was N is a GOAT. Unfortunately, this Rock is dead
Dead? Yet no one from that era who is not dead could ever see him at their absolute best. The Rock conquered all this to a level no one had touched back in 2002.
Yea it’s all about the final boss rock 2.0 😂😂
@Mickieshelton STONE COLD DUMMY
Final Boss is just as good he he cussing and shit lol
Great times. I’m so glad I grew up in the golden era. Awesome times.
The rock wasn’t scared of nobody !!
"Hey Pebble.. " That had me laughing loud lol😅
This is the most calmest rock promo where he roast someone.
Vince’s facial expressions were legendary
Fun fact: The show “Smackdown” was named after The Rocks famous catchphrase
Rock was his best when he had those mad sideburns

99 was The Rock’s year. Nationally, internationally, worldwide, universally, galactically and everlastingly, it was his year.
Shessssh that was super personal. 🤣🤣🤣
Big Show's cockiness and his confidence during that segment was so hilarious 😂
Big show wasnt ready 😭 this era was gold
“Who… is this Rudy Poo?” Always gets me lol
Not only did he talk it but he walked it the Rock kicked ass!!!
The Rock is a legend 🎉
Heel rock was something else
How the fuck Vince and Show didn’t piss themselves laughing from Rock here lmfao shit is just next level
In 99 i was very young and there were only few houses had black and white TV on my village, i didn't know English language and didn't known the taste of dialogue, but now i guess those eras are the best comparing to present. ❤❤
