His crowd control is God like! At min 7:00 notice how some people started the "what" chant and they were off. So Rock begins again giving the crowd another chance to verbally waltz with The Final Boss! He's so gifted!
They weren't lying tho; I watched the whole entirety of that segment live and I was thinking the exact same thing at that moment myself 💯💯It was straight up weird as sh**...🤨🤨🧐
@@phillybyrd34 I thought Cody was gonna say "You can hold it.... if you can beat me for it" but no, they did actually just hold each others belts for a minute. What the hell was that about? 😂
The fact that people dislike the Rock now days proves how great he was in his prime and how great he still is at 51. The guy doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. The guy is almost 1 billion networth and counting 😅. Hate him or love him, he's done it all.
@@neillscott4192I'm by no means a big Rock fan, but the dude is worth 800 million. In just his movies alone he commands a 20 million up front fee, and in most of them he gets a slice of the royalties. Not to mention his global brand, and other businesses. How do you think he became a part owner of WWE, he gets paid for that too. He has his own liqour brand, as well as his own skincare products, and his Brame Bull clothes line.
Only The Rock can go out there, have a genuine, real life moment of respect with Cody and talk fondly about his Dad while not losing a drop of the Final Boss swagger and crowd taunting. What an absolute creative genius and all time titan of the industry. We need to enjoy these waning years of him.
Meh rock has some of the best people ever on the writing table for him. But crowd control they are different levels. Delivery of lines they are very similar
@@Kevy808 I didn't say he was top notch, I said he's probably the best of the current generation. You could throw CM Punk and Seth Rollins in there but even they are levels below what some of the older generation were doing.
That segment of Rock talking about Rocky Johnson and Dusty Rhodes' friendship, only to say "I don't care what my Daddy thinks" was one of the hardest Heel promo lines I've ever heard
It's wicked corny. To front like you've won anything is beyond absurd. I got a United States championship for Christmas to go with my collection. Doesn't make me us champ. 😂😂😂
@@rickjustus6416I think it’s corny too but I get why he’s walking around with it. It’s a title specifically made for him and was given to him by Muhammad Ali’s widow, and it’s probably the only one ever made, it’s gotta hold a special place in his heart
What a masterclass of mic work. The crowd was ready to boo him all the way to hell and then he managed to bait them into a "what chant" and then completely bombs on them. Great stuff!
You forgot the started cheering for him THEN a min later Booed tf out of him then the what's he has seen all phases of the crowds being a top heel and face he just feeds off of it either way at this point
The Rock and Stone Cold are forever going to be the measuring stick of true success in WWE. It doesn't matter that their time at the top was so short, those 7 or 8 years defined a generation and influenced every one that has come since. Forget about Dwayne Johnson as a person, as a performer The Rock is undeniable. Whatever this new era may be, I feel lucky as a fan that these two guys helped usher it in. Getting to see both The Rock anf Stone Cold have at least one mor match as an adult, rather than the Attitude era kiddy fan I was back back, is absolutely awesome. Fantastic few days as a fan of wrestling.
Lot of people don't get what makes this great. It's not Rock on the mic...it's the tension between the guy the fans wanted and the company man who tried to leverage his position to replace him. That tension is REAL...and _that_ is what makes this so compelling. Wrestling is always at its best when it matters.
@@dlxinfinite7098 That's hilarious. When they dropped the Rock vs Reigns angle it was sudden, messy and incredibly awkward, and it made EVERYONE look bad. Cody looked weak changing his mind for no reason twice in a matter of days, Triple H looked weak basically giving an apology promo for the angle going down in flames, and Rock genuinely hurt his image - he went from beloved legend to ego-driven company man abusing his position. He's covered that up well with his "Final Boss" character, but there are people who flat out don't like the guy anymore. That's not playing a heel, that's alienating your fans. If you think that colossal clusterf**k was all done on purpose just because they managed to cover their tracks in a hurry then you have been watching wrestling too long. Not everything is a "work".
@@EyeMixMusic Im 67. Ive been watching wrestling probably before you were born. Dont worry. In 2027 Rock will return again as a reformed babyface. Why do you think he's leaving? He's off to make another movie. We have seen this so many times. Its all scripts and acting.
@@dlxinfinite7098it wasn’t a work. It was supposed to be Rock vs Roman but fan reaction caused them to pivot back to Cody vs Roman with The Rock turning heel. HHH confirmed it was Rocks idea for him to turn heel and give the people what they want with Cody beating Roman at mania.
You can tell The Rock is so happy to be back and knows that WWE needed this. And that it needed to be saved. They definitely made this wrestlemania amazing
The Final Boss went from getting DOM MYSTERIO heat, being unable to speak, to finishing his promo with them chanting 'Rocky Rocky' 10 minutes later, that is something else man.
Hells yeah, already letting the crowd know that Cody screwed him over and that Cody will lose the title to him because of this, which is why Cody looks so guilty
@@2Good2BeTrue45the rock won’t even win that title because he’ll never be a full or part time wrestler again. It will only be an appearance or a match and go back to his life.

The rock’s transformation into “ The Final Boss “ is astounding at this point in his career and it’s exactly the breath of fresh air the wwe needed along with Cody’s storyline being captivating as well. 👏🏽
Was it the plan all along or did they really pivot from him taking the spotlight from Cody? Because he is generating heat that I haven't seen since the Corporate Vince days.
Yeah, it's a nostalgia for him as it is what transformed him from Rocky Maivia to The Rock we know of now. 'Well, Rocky Maivia is a lot of things, but 'sucks' isn't one of 'em!' 1997, his first ever 2 min promo in NOD.
2013 when rock beat punk. I found it again yesterday but it was fan footage if you want the full promo. WWE have official stuff up from the same segment but without Cody @@Hollywood.316
The entire storyline until WrestleMania night 1 and 2 felt like Marvels Avengers storyline. LOVE this new WWE era! It's all about the perfect storyline!
Have you not seen his entrance on the RAW after WMX8? with Hogan standing in the middle of the ring. Arguably his best entrance / moment of all time. A passing of the torch.
This is masterful storytelling from Rocks threat to Codys facial expressions at the end in reaction to what Rock gave him is phenomenal performance. I hope yall appreciate Rock while he still able to do this because Ive been watching wrestling since 1999 so Ive seen the best come & go and imo Rock is & always will be the microphone God, there is no body better on the mic. The ability to captivate an audience without saying a word is truly something special. He’s the only guy Ive ever seen who can stand their and have the crowd in the palm of his hand. Whether he’s heel or face it doesn’t matter we love every minute of it. Sure Austin, Cena, Flair, Punk, Heyman etc may come close but they aren’t the Rock.
@khaledgee rumor has it that he gave him Dusty's watch, which he had to pawn off in order to afford to send Codey to acting school when he was younger. It was found, bought back, and returned to its rightful owner, at long last.
People don’t understand how much rock has done. Gave Kurt Angle his first title, came back dropped the title to brock lesnar because Austin didn’t want to and he was the next big superstar to pass the torch to the ruthless aggression era, came back again to put cena over and again with Cody.
He and Triple H feuded the whole time Austin was injured and still kept it interesting. He has Donna lot. The issue is that the marks got upset when he chose Hollywood. I believe that made his one off appearances a little limited creatively. Now that he gave them some time to work with him, they showed they are capable of making his short runs meaningful. He deserves credit for that too.
Crowd chanting “Rocky, Rocky” then “Undertaker” then two seconds later “Rocky sucks” with The Rock not even uttering a word. His crowd control is out of this world. The current WWE needed a sprinkle of Attitude Era to flourish, hopefully from now they can do it by themselves.
no, none of this attitude era rehash bs is remotely necessary. the move sets the current roster has are things none of the attitude era stars would have dared try. this is disgusting.
What you mean crowd control..he just waited to say something to see what the crowd does and overplayed it hardly to the point that even cody got annoyed and just wanted him to start talking for once. and the what chant literally everyone can provoke. Was a good section and crowd but it was like 10 minutes too long.
No, he's great, but the modern audience is just a bunch of lame zoomers and awful fans overall. They chant "this is awesome" 5 seconds into a match. The bad guy will do something bad, and then after booing him, they will proceed to applaud. They just suck.
@joshschneider9766 yeah true, because the guys of the attitude era could actually wrestle. People watched the shows instead of fast forwarding to the last segments.
Not to sound lame or anything but I Can’t help but feel the exchanging of titles was symbolic of the rock/past wwe proclaiming Cody the future champion of the people while Cody handing the rock the world championship was symbolic of Cody/current wwe acknowledging the rock as a champion now and always. Professional respect.
Crowds after Wrestlemania resemble little kids that have had too much sugar and are allowed up past their bedtime. Just nonsensical noise for the sake of it. It is quite entertaining sometimes though.
There will never be a better artist on the mic, he is just such a natural! Was my fav wrestler as a kid, I am all grown up, he came back and still shows he is the best of all time on the mic! 🙌🏾
I loved this segment. You can see the rocks acting come through here. Man, the way he was like "but i never held that one. Can i hold it?" It was villainous. I love movies and it clicked right away. It was a good finish and a great open build to whatever may be next.
Actually I think he forgot his lines. It was awkward and pretty bad. Rock is known for not being a good actor, so I don’t know what you’re talking about 😂
Dude EVERY current wrestler should be studying EVERY single promo The Rock has done over the last 3 months cause boy does he know how to milk a crowd & get the reactions he wants ! This gold ! He literally is controlling the crowd & they don’t even know it !
@@wadewilson8011 that’s true but he still has a way to go ! A lot of new guys gotta learn you don’t shut the crowd up, you let them go silent for you & he does good with that sometimes but gotta learn when to just let the crowd do their thing if you get what I mean.
Bro, I love The Rock, but this segment was WAY to long. The Rock wastes so much time when they could've given someone like Chelsea and JAde more match time, or perhaps Seth and Becky could have actually had 5 minutes to address the crowd on what happened. I get it. Rock is awesome, but it just felt pointless, een the crowd started chanting "this is awkward". Some of what he was saying made me think "Get to the point, bro"
Uhh Black Adam was a flop and that Maui incident nearly ruined him and Oprah. This was a necessary distraction from those two things strategically done. It worked but for how long we shall see
You know you're a great heel when the crowd boo's just when you bring the mic up to talk. That's how heel heat is supposed to be. Right now only Rock and Dominic have that kinda heat.
When a wrestler can be a good heel, babyface and something in between during his time with the promotion, when he gets a big or huge reaction from fans, then you know he is and will be one thing...legendary
Everything happened so fast with this feud that i didn't have the time to point out that The Rock is in his best shape ever since he returned...those arms are getting bigger every time i see him
@@ca4318 People been very disappointed with Roman as a baby-face - the Rock saw then already it had failed - then they made Roman an ok heel - but when he stopped defending or always had the bloodline interfere it became dull and people were pissed Cody should have won already at wm39 - so the whole thing was starting to get stale - in comes heel Rock and they bring a bit of twist and emotion back in and a little attitude era vibe and its worked
The Rock swears every single week, gotta love it 😂😂😂😂 Also, McCaffey giving the crowd a standing ovation from breaking the trailer park trash record was hilarious LOL
I want to point out...vodka ads...dude wipe ads...the rock cursing constantly...and, if anyone missed it, the commentary team got some light swearing in too. This is definitely a new era for a new, more adult audience.
My wife went down this rabbit hole recently of throwback WWE matches and documentaries and watched Wrestlemania. I watched some short clips on SM when I heard The Rock has returned as a heel. We both watched wrestling BITD predominantly during the attitude era. I say all this because after watching this segment, I completely forgot how entertaining the WWE is. This was dope lol
But isn't this all about fightin, yelling, combat, WRESTLING? Its not wrestling anymore, its long promos with little action. If that is the "renaissance"...its sorely lacking.
The fact they cheered when he called them “Tralier Park Trash” is hilarious
We were cracking up lol it was too funny
I used to love when the Rock called us fans trailer park trash 😂😂 😂😂😂
Would you not cheer is my question
I remember his 2003 Toronto promo as the Holywood Rock.
Kinda like when we cheered when Elias called us scumbags
The crowd chanting "Undertaker" at the rock was insane 😂😂
I expected Rock to call him a jabroni 😂
its pretty dumb and mis opportunity for fans for rock to not even respond to taker and cena
Turning chokeslam to Rocky
At last!!! The PHENOM has finally returned!!!!!

I see what you did there 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah he was wanting them to do it lol
It's just dawned on me....
In 2013 Cody asked Rock if he could hold/see the WWE Title
Incredible
What date was that on
2013 when rock beat punk. I found it again yesterday but it was fan footage if you want the full promo. WWE have official stuff up from the same segment but without Cody @@Hollywood.316
@@Juggernaut6990nice eye! What did the rock hand Cody?
Did he let him tho?
heel rock is incredible. he elevated the big moment at mania. epic build up
The Rock still has the crowd in the palm of his hands 😅
He always will. He's on wrestlings Mount Rushmore no doubt.
He'll always will. Rock is Rock after all.
The rock Is Not Finisher Story
@@agyeiregina1097 Because Rock is the story brodah
@@agyeiregina1097Dean ambrose is better
The rock is everything bro lol He can make the crowd hate him and love him at the same time . 😭
The Rock is so 🔥 on the mic 🎤
Powerhouse.
The guy comes back after years away and is still the best at promos.He's the definition of a legend
Rock is the reason I even know of this biz. His promos will always be the best.
"he whoop you like a dog boyy" 😂😂😂The Rock had me Dead
Only the Rock will get a standing ovation for calling the crowd a bunch of trash😂🐐🐐
Wb mami
True
Stone Cold could too lol
@@arjunsdigwano austin fan boy, let there be one rock comment without having to comment something insecure.
I feel honored to get roasted by the rock
Pat McAfee “Cole tell these jabronis to shut up” is pure gold 😂😂
The crowd are so loud after wrestlemania! Happy this is raw after wrestlemania is so much louder than last yr
Pat doing a great lawler
@@adamcraig1468Pat is miles better than Lawler.
@@MrRMT1986 blasphemy
Next time give us the time at period when that happened
The entire storyline until WrestleMania night 1 and 2 felt like Marvels Avengers storyline.
LOVE this new WWE era! It's all about the perfect storyline!
The Rock brought so much to the Road of Wrestlemania and to the storyline
“Then I thought, well, I don’t care…” 😂😂😂
Heel rock is too funny
😂😂
I love that line too. I believe both of them wanted to laugh
"The Rock may be a lot of things, but sucks isn't one of them"
ULTIMATE THROWBACK
Black Adam
No Diddy 😂
Exactly. I remembered that promo. So to hear that again over 2 decades later…amazing
Rock plays a great Heel. Great to have him back
Ever since his return, all his promos never missed, and always so electrifying
Thats how you know his heel turn was legendary, the amount if booing hes getting. Those are like jeers of love.
reallly..?
@@filifili4275 yes, really.
@@allblack8148 yea ig ..? Dont get it i like rock tho
Ppl only boo him bcuz they feel like they are supposed to. You can’t but like the guy
Help*
The sound of Electricity just before the fire beat is about to drop... okay, this is EASILY The Rock's best and most electrifying entrance ever.
That’s the bull sound not electric
yall dont have to keep lying 😂
Too f'n long. The promos have gotten too long. Get to the action!
Have you not seen his entrance on the RAW after WMX8? with Hogan standing in the middle of the ring. Arguably his best entrance / moment of all time. A passing of the torch.
I thought those were bees 🐝
This is masterful storytelling from Rocks threat to Codys facial expressions at the end in reaction to what Rock gave him is phenomenal performance. I hope yall appreciate Rock while he still able to do this because Ive been watching wrestling since 1999 so Ive seen the best come & go and imo Rock is & always will be the microphone God, there is no body better on the mic. The ability to captivate an audience without saying a word is truly something special. He’s the only guy Ive ever seen who can stand their and have the crowd in the palm of his hand. Whether he’s heel or face it doesn’t matter we love every minute of it. Sure Austin, Cena, Flair, Punk, Heyman etc may come close but they aren’t the Rock.
It's like Cody and The Rock were made for each other. I love it!
I love when the Rock says trailer park trash. His tone when he says it is so hilarious.😂
Has to say that. Anything other than white hate will get him cancelled.
@@rickjustus6416 lil bro is on the way to getting cancelled anyway because he's basically a trumper now. Cool it. He's one of you.
@@rickjustus6416 oh shut up. Rock has been using trailer park trash since his early days.
@@rickjustus6416dude the rock was already saying "trailer park trash" in 99 as corporate Rock...
🤦🏿♂️ yeah like the rest of us. Trump 2024. We want America great again.
The Rock giving a masterclass of having the audience at your complete grasp 💥
F bombing them yet the cheer for him
Not to mention the best heel promo I have seen in ridiculously many years.
What the rock gave cody ?!
no, dwayne gave those idjuts backstage how to work the stick. baiting the crowds is an understatement.
@khaledgee rumor has it that he gave him Dusty's watch, which he had to pawn off in order to afford to send Codey to acting school when he was younger.
It was found, bought back, and returned to its rightful owner, at long last.
7:10 The Rock allows the crowd join in and chant Stone Cold Steve Austin’s “What?” 😂👏🏻 what a pro!
the rock an absolute masterpiece of performance..
People don’t understand how much rock has done. Gave Kurt Angle his first title, came back dropped the title to brock lesnar because Austin didn’t want to and he was the next big superstar to pass the torch to the ruthless aggression era, came back again to put cena over and again with Cody.
He’s done more than that
He had one of the greatest rivalry with stone cold put the miz over and stopped cm punks 400 odd day reign to name a few more accomplishments
U are legend. New kid never know about this
He and Triple H feuded the whole time Austin was injured and still kept it interesting. He has Donna lot. The issue is that the marks got upset when he chose Hollywood. I believe that made his one off appearances a little limited creatively. Now that he gave them some time to work with him, they showed they are capable of making his short runs meaningful. He deserves credit for that too.
Well look what he done in his Hollywood Rock run. Hogan, then Austin then Goldberg while also putting over Booker T and Hurricane.
Congrats to the city of Philadelphia! “For the largest gathering of trailer park trash 🗑️ “ 😂😂😂💀💀 god I love the rock
He's amazing 😂
His promos just keeps getting better and better 😂.
That had me dying 😂😂😂😂
Finally, someone told the truth about Philly.
And the Philadelphians in attendance at the event absolutely lapped it up the way they should.. 👏🏻🥳😂
The Rock is once in a lifetime athlete. Enjoy him now
"Don't you ever break my heart again" if you smell what "The Final BOSS".... Is COOKIN!😂
-THE ROCK
What does that mean though
I heard it’s Dusty’s HoF ring Cody pawned when he was down on his luck. The Rock tracked it down and bought it back.
@@michaelmclaughlin3153really??? That’s insane
It was Dustys watch ⌚️ I do believe
@@alfiejameslillymayhe meant dont leave wwe again
The Final Boss respects Cody. They'll see each other soon.
Next summer slam
cry rocky cry 🤣🤣
SummerSlam 2024
where’s the rock going my guy?
@@killerkyle92 he’s filming a movie and coming back in August
Crowd chanting “Rocky, Rocky” then “Undertaker” then two seconds later “Rocky sucks” with The Rock not even uttering a word. His crowd control is out of this world. The current WWE needed a sprinkle of Attitude Era to flourish, hopefully from now they can do it by themselves.
roman is pretty good at working the crowd, I believe drew is too
no, none of this attitude era rehash bs is remotely necessary. the move sets the current roster has are things none of the attitude era stars would have dared try. this is disgusting.
What you mean crowd control..he just waited to say something to see what the crowd does and overplayed it hardly to the point that even cody got annoyed and just wanted him to start talking for once. and the what chant literally everyone can provoke. Was a good section and crowd but it was like 10 minutes too long.
No, he's great, but the modern audience is just a bunch of lame zoomers and awful fans overall. They chant "this is awesome" 5 seconds into a match. The bad guy will do something bad, and then after booing him, they will proceed to applaud. They just suck.
@joshschneider9766 yeah true, because the guys of the attitude era could actually wrestle. People watched the shows instead of fast forwarding to the last segments.
I love a crowd being so into a storyline. Every time l think of the pandemic era man that was so bad. We need this crowd in every show
Not to sound lame or anything but I Can’t help but feel the exchanging of titles was symbolic of the rock/past wwe proclaiming Cody the future champion of the people while Cody handing the rock the world championship was symbolic of Cody/current wwe acknowledging the rock as a champion now and always. Professional respect.
No, it was foreshadowed, The Rock is gonna get his hands on the title for real, very soon.
The crowd switching to "Undertaker" and booing is insane 😂😂
Cody is truly the face of the company.
@@ci7210 The Rock show again the Skill GAP between him and Cody the spoiled kid
@@maluekfassi9060Cody worked hard to get where he’s at so did the rock only rock came from a larger family F what u talking about
The Raw after wrestlemania will always be insane. crowds sometimes root for the badguy
Time?
Crowds after Wrestlemania are a different breed 💀
They upped their game after being embarrassed night one
@@KK-pm7ud i heard it was because of the weather was super cold
Crowds after Wrestlemania resemble little kids that have had too much sugar and are allowed up past their bedtime. Just nonsensical noise for the sake of it. It is quite entertaining sometimes though.
@@mathiasfrandsen5468excuse
There will never be a better artist on the mic, he is just such a natural! Was my fav wrestler as a kid, I am all grown up, he came back and still shows he is the best of all time on the mic! 🙌🏾
I'm glad I watched The Rock during the Attitude Era. Amazing times.
This match will feed families
Who ever came up with this saying lmao
okay jinx
this match will put food on tables.
this match is gonna show respect to This. BUSINESS!!
@@jontuxbury6167 this match is the needle moover
I loved this segment. You can see the rocks acting come through here. Man, the way he was like "but i never held that one. Can i hold it?" It was villainous. I love movies and it clicked right away. It was a good finish and a great open build to whatever may be next.
Yea it was beautiful
It was next level.
It kept building and building
i think he should do a movie as a villain like doom
Actually I think he forgot his lines. It was awkward and pretty bad. Rock is known for not being a good actor, so I don’t know what you’re talking about 😂
@@joeibarra4134the rock is known for being a bad actor? I guess the tooth fairy was bad?
Man that slow paced theme song is so god damn final boss like niceee
Raw after wrestlemania crowd is always on fire with their chants
Dude EVERY current wrestler should be studying EVERY single promo The Rock has done over the last 3 months cause boy does he know how to milk a crowd & get the reactions he wants ! This gold ! He literally is controlling the crowd & they don’t even know it !
LA Knight has LITERALLY been the A+ student and hasn't missed one assignment.
@@wadewilson8011 that’s true but he still has a way to go ! A lot of new guys gotta learn you don’t shut the crowd up, you let them go silent for you & he does good with that sometimes but gotta learn when to just let the crowd do their thing if you get what I mean.
Bro, I love The Rock, but this segment was WAY to long. The Rock wastes so much time when they could've given someone like Chelsea and JAde more match time, or perhaps Seth and Becky could have actually had 5 minutes to address the crowd on what happened. I get it. Rock is awesome, but it just felt pointless, een the crowd started chanting "this is awkward". Some of what he was saying made me think "Get to the point, bro"
🎯
@@robertpalatsky5017they can wait honestly Rock won’t be here for long let’s just enjoy the ride
This has been a fantastic run from the rock. The guy literally touches anything it turns to gold. Can’t for the people’s champion to return asap
Uhh Black Adam was a flop and that Maui incident nearly ruined him and Oprah. This was a necessary distraction from those two things strategically done. It worked but for how long we shall see
You know you're a great heel when the crowd boo's just when you bring the mic up to talk. That's how heel heat is supposed to be. Right now only Rock and Dominic have that kinda heat.
the "if you smeel what the rock is cooking" subtitle at the start says it all...
The fact that the rock carries that championship like he won it is insane and the fact that he will never lose it
Well I mean,it's no different to any other WWE champ
Reminded me that it was Gorgeous George who told Ali that "a lot of people will pay money to see someone shut you up."
What do you mean? It was a gift, a great looking one too. Why not carry it around?
Such a villain move 😂😂😂
It’s only one peoples champ 💯 it won’t go nowhere
When a wrestler can be a good heel, babyface and something in between during his time with the promotion, when he gets a big or huge reaction from fans, then you know he is and will be one thing...legendary
wa da fak u min? hes not guy
9:58-10:55 This was actually done out of character as they are actually close irl before Rock reverted back
@@stayhappygaming This is what I wanted to say: The Rock is a legendary wrestler
The rock and Triple H have brilliant, creative minds and that’s why WWE is in such a great place right now
Everything happened so fast with this feud that i didn't have the time to point out that The Rock is in his best shape ever since he returned...those arms are getting bigger every time i see him
The Rock coming back as the heel is what made the final battle between Cody and Roman worthwhile it gave it the energy and spike it needed ....
Nah solo gave it the spike it needed
@@alt_para SOLO GAVE IT NOTHING HES A SILENT TOOL - HAS NO MIC SKILLS SO YEA SORRY WRONG THERE
@@moolmannkosi3985 bro, i think he was doing a pun. He means the “Samoan Spike” it needed. 😂
How so? Please explain, I haven't been following wwe as of late
@@ca4318 People been very disappointed with Roman as a baby-face - the Rock saw then already it had failed - then they made Roman an ok heel - but when he stopped defending or always had the bloodline interfere it became dull and people were pissed Cody should have won already at wm39 - so the whole thing was starting to get stale - in comes heel Rock and they bring a bit of twist and emotion back in and a little attitude era vibe and its worked
Rock: Can I hold it, Cody?
Cody: Sure, as long as I can hold yours.
😂😂
Fans: This is awkward
🤣🤣
One earned
One gifted.
Had me dying . We know what they referring too
It has double meaning😂
@@sinisterguardian666 their talking about the belts
The way Rock goes on cue to the music as he enters the ring 1:32 💪🏾💪🏾 his music truly goes along to his movements
The Rock's Entrance is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A Master on the Mic. Crowd eating out the palms of his hands.
The Rock swears every single week, gotta love it 😂😂😂😂
Also, McCaffey giving the crowd a standing ovation from breaking the trailer park trash record was hilarious LOL
It was perfect haha😂
This era needs a little bit of an attitude adjustment. Who better than the great one 😎
@onnmice-qf5xxthe rock is filming a movie until august he won't be back for backlash or summerslam.
I want to point out...vodka ads...dude wipe ads...the rock cursing constantly...and, if anyone missed it, the commentary team got some light swearing in too. This is definitely a new era for a new, more adult audience.
He cusses then always follows up with “HUH?!” 😂
It's like 2003 again! ❤
My wife went down this rabbit hole recently of throwback WWE matches and documentaries and watched Wrestlemania. I watched some short clips on SM when I heard The Rock has returned as a heel. We both watched wrestling BITD predominantly during the attitude era. I say all this because after watching this segment, I completely forgot how entertaining the WWE is. This was dope lol
Rock's performances lately feel like next level top TV stuff
Great segment with no fighting, no yelling. Just masterful storytelling. Truly, the Renaissance era has begun
I like how you put that! "Renaissance era"
yall always FIND something positive to say about ANYTHING they do 😂
@@home9dog2blue199 oh no, what a curse...
@@home9dog2blue199how dare he not have negativity and hatred in his heart
But isn't this all about fightin, yelling, combat, WRESTLING? Its not wrestling anymore, its long promos with little action. If that is the "renaissance"...its sorely lacking.
I like how there are always constant updates to the rock’s entrance as it makes it more unique.
It’s been amazing to see the rock a lot more now.
This feud with "The Final Boss" is going to have some rocky rhodes for Cody.
