Stone Cold said the line, “it ain’t a race thing, it ain’t a color thing, it’s a me kicking your ass thing…” not the Rock. He straight up ripped off what SC literally said on Raw back in the day.
@@CaspraDaGhost for sure. It’s all good man. They actually played the clip on Rogan after this and you got to see what the Rock actually said during his debut on the mic. I just remember those lines he recanted from one of my Stone Cold VHS tapes back in the day when I was a kiddo. Not sure who he said it to I just always thought it stood out (in a positive way) to say something like that on air. Even though it’s fake wrestling. Ha.
@CorbittChandler shiiiitttt I thought it was real until a few months ago and I started watching the attitude Era again and like it even more, don't like the stuff they got out now
@@wrestling.cornerI don’t think SC actually gives a shit if he stole his line lol. rock said himself he used to take things he heard people say and try to use it in promos
James A Garfield, the man who barely beat my man Major General Winfield Scott Hancok, closest presidential election in the 1880 presidential election 1960, guess like the Rock somebody decided to by pass the rules. Hancock would have been better.
Given that we know now that Rock went on to become one of the Top-5 promos in the history of the business, it's hard to remember that there was once a time when Vince was reluctant to give him 120 seconds of mic time!
You know he’s terrible at promos right? He got somebody to write his promos years ago back when he randomly became good at them. He literally pays them a salary to this day to write him material for tv and all sorts. The rock is SHIT.
Rock is misremembering the line. He never said "Its a me kicking your ass thing" That was Stone Cold that said it. He never said that, so I don't know how Rock saying it now is "stealing" when its just him on a podcast talking about a heel promo and misquoting.
Not everything is scripted, On mic segments can be scripted or they can be adlibbed. Some Wrestlers like the rock were given free reign on the mic because they were so good at it. Plus he literally tells you what was scripted...
The rock and Stone cold really knew how to sell what they were selling … better than anyone imo… you could say there was a time when The Rock and Austin were both heels but the fans loved them so much you couldn’t even tell lmao. When rocky came back from Hollywood and was suppose to be a bad guy but was to funny to hate when he’d bring the guitar out and start roasting every city he was in lmao
Hes literally not though. He even says exactly what was scripted, Him joining the nation of domination. You can't fake half the shit they do in the ring though, is is scripted and the winner pre determined yeah. It still hurts like hell to receive or give most moves
Go back and watch, the original Rocky Maivia promo, from August 97 guys. ALMOST EVERYTHING in this video is EXACTLY what he said : "I am a lot of things, but sucks isn't one of them" and he DID say "It's not a white thing, it's not a black thing", the "kicking your ass" part is the only thing he got wrong (because that's from a Stone Cold promo). To be fair, a lot of what Rock said was a long time ago, so he's not going to remember EXACTLY how it happened.
It's pretty crazy to think that if Vince didn't give him that one chance with the Nation, then "Rocky Miavia" would have just been a forgotten, failed experiment of the 90s that we'd think of the same was as Salvatore Sincere or Aldo Montoya. Or maybe a better analogy: The WWF version of Erik Watts.
So alot of marks in he comments are not realizing tht Yes it is Stone Colds line and the Rock and Tone cold love each other as brothers so yes the Rock probably took it from SC BUT he always gives the credit to SC. Always gobe his flowers. Real.fans know.
Lol listening to him explain what he did in the 90's is exactly what he did now. Joined a faction the bloonline turned heal... when he comes back hes gonna be baby face and clean the bloodline up cause roman wont be able to do it on his own. Rikishi will get involved some how and bam alot of people are going to tune in for when roman comes back but its gotta be the perfect time
I actually remember him saying something to this effect, because if you watch closely, the other Nation members look at him like "What you talking about Willis". It was really the first sign that wasn't going to be long term good fit.
Really bothers me when they tell different versions of the same story. Vince said he told Rock that he's a heel now so tell the crowd exactly what you think of them booing you. And here Rock is saying Vince was hesitant to give him promo time. Not saying this as a Vince fan btw, screw him. It's just annoying when someone is obviously changing the story to make it more interesting.
Im a rock fan hell my real name is Rocky. But the rock didnt even cut a promo the night he turned heel. He did a rock bottom and then stood in fhe ring with Farooq or however you spell it. Idk why the rock feels like hes gotta tell whoppers like that.
Well you can separate Vince the character from Vince the person. Vince the character was an amazing heel. But then, I suppose so was Vince the person LOL
No version of the Rock is fuckin with Cuban drug lord Rock. I’m talking Rock wit the sideburns and the slow calculated approach. Shit started to get a lil cheesy when he went with the fast paced high pitched voice
Well it didn't hurt his chances. Name me 1 other wrestler in the world that their 2nd match was a PPV with top superstars . I will wait .Go back and watch the Rocks matches from 97 on up . They weren't anything special. He got famous for being funny and working a mic . There was a crap ton of wrestlers WAY better then him in the ring
@@Frozen85solid wwe wrestling is a show, it's entertainment. Don't be mad at The Rock just because those "crap ton of wrestlers" didn't get the push they wanted.
Rock sounded just like Vince when he did his impression
No he sounded like HHH
Freaking voice control
Shelby County You have your Shelby County You have your Shelby County You 😢❤️❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤ OK oh no, wait a minute right here.
I'm bleeding
Stone Cold said the line, “it ain’t a race thing, it ain’t a color thing, it’s a me kicking your ass thing…” not the Rock. He straight up ripped off what SC literally said on Raw back in the day.
Well if look he said this line just not the it's the kick ass part but everything else was said
@@CaspraDaGhost for sure. It’s all good man. They actually played the clip on Rogan after this and you got to see what the Rock actually said during his debut on the mic.

@@CaspraDaGhost me either bro! Totally with you on that.
@@wrestling.cornerI don’t think SC actually gives a shit if he stole his line lol. rock said himself he used to take things he heard people say and try to use it in promos
And he said the same thing last RAW when he was booed to oblivion lmaooo
"black militant group"
Owen Hart was rolling with them for a while lol.
Well he was The Black Hart after all lol
@@morrnmanderson7376 that was the best version of Owen, I wish they had kept him as the last nation member.
He was a NUGGET tho 😂
Owen is invited to all the cook outs ….unless it Harley race …Harley race ain’t ever forgiving him for the sauce incident
That was after they weren't the black millant group really anymore when The Rock took over the group
The best thing that ever happened to him and the WWE
This was the moment The Rock became The Boulder
A Mountain I'd say. It was the very moment that started his legendary run
🤣
He is a trash human
Nah. He’s a fraud
Yup, an earthbender... LMAO
Cody needs to reach out to stone cold, bring this to his attention.
Cody is garbage
No
James A Garfield, the man who barely beat my man Major General Winfield Scott Hancok, closest presidential election in the 1880 presidential election 1960, guess like the Rock somebody decided to by pass the rules. Hancock would have been better.
@@jamesAGarfield608What he said ☝️
@@FordMustangry-wu7mhbut why Cody? Lol
Amazing how this all came full-circle. Now he is the 'Vince' of the WWE, he can do WTF he wants. I'm loving this new 'Final Boss' persona!
Given that we know now that Rock went on to become one of the Top-5 promos in the history of the business, it's hard to remember that there was once a time when Vince was reluctant to give him 120 seconds of mic time!

He is a trash human
Original idea was to have New Jack be the mouthpiece of the nation of domination
Have you ever seen his Smoky Mountain Wrestling promos? Legendary lol
He was ruthless like omgggg
😂
New Jack, The Rock, Ron Simmons, Godfather, D- Lo Brown, and Mark Henry would’ve been the greatest Faction in WWF/WWE history
@@MLG_Junioragreed that is one stacked faction.
That was stone colds line of it’s not a race thing it’s not a color thing it’s a me kicking your ass thing
Let me ask you this Tyler, are you surprised that the Rock stole Austin's line? I am certainly not
In retrospect, that does sound like the way Austin would say it.
@@AvatarOfGames that's exactly what I think
@@wrestling.corner I hope you are not implying that Austin was as good as the rock on the mic 🤔
Rock is misremembering the line. He never said "Its a me kicking your ass thing" That was Stone Cold that said it. He never said that, so I don't know how Rock saying it now is "stealing" when its just him on a podcast talking about a heel promo and misquoting.
He was great in the Nation of Domination
He back he's heel again, and he's a part of the blood line.
This is the exact same thing which happened this time. Rock returned, turned heel and joined the bloodline
Yeah because he’s the only way ppl will watch that bullshit😂
@@Retroactive93it was WWF back then. Rocky made WWE what it is, with all that bs he spews out his mouth 😂
“heal” 💀
I love how they talk about it like it’s real
It's real to us
Not everything is scripted, On mic segments can be scripted or they can be adlibbed. Some Wrestlers like the rock were given free reign on the mic because they were so good at it.
Plus he literally tells you what was scripted...
Imagine interviewer says boo in the end 💀
Only one thing I want in this WrestleMania out of know where glass shatters in main event
I'm not going to lie back in the 90s they didn't try to appreciate the players that good. It's a good thing he he pull it up through
Legend has it it was Hulk Hogan who came up with this promo
I haven't heard that one before
More like Vince yelling at him to go there to talk for 2 minutes
And the legend grow!! Smell what The Rock is cooking!!!💪🏽
Probably cooking cod
He actually said “I have 3 words for you: DIE ROCKY,DIE”
Thats a really great promo too.
The miming from the original segment and the narration was done with precision ❤😂
The rock and Stone cold really knew how to sell what they were selling … better than anyone imo… you could say there was a time when The Rock and Austin were both heels but the fans loved them so much you couldn’t even tell lmao.
When rocky came back from Hollywood and was suppose to be a bad guy but was to funny to hate when he’d bring the guitar out and start roasting every city he was in lmao
Rock on some Steve Harvey shit 😭
U see that shit lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uncle Tom syndrome is real 🤣
He trying to fit in lol
He said "this is not the about the color of my skin,This is about respect."
I was cheering for "The Rock" character way before it became cool. Then suddenly, it was UNDENIABLE.
Bro went from two minutes to 40 😂
And that's when the rock was born
He's talking about this like it is a real thing not staged/fake wrestling LoL . Which I love.
That's all kayfabe brother!!
Gotta protect the product 😂
Hes literally not though. He even says exactly what was scripted, Him joining the nation of domination.
You can't fake half the shit they do in the ring though, is is scripted and the winner pre determined yeah. It still hurts like hell to receive or give most moves
Mr. McMahon was a real genius.
He did a lot of good storytelling during his time
And then he made Roman eat dog food 🤮
Rock is a GOAT on the mic.😂

The Rock 🔱🖤
Way to do it for the culture ROCK.
Best decision the rock ever made
The day a star ✨ was born
The Nation was awesome
That's a fact 💯
The original Nation of Domination was a USWA faction led by PG-13 JC Ice and Wolfie D.
Rock was given more chances than most
“I grab the microphone” 😂
He was great with the mic.
One of the wrestling GOATS!!!
It's pretty crazy to think that if Vince didn't give him that one chance with the Nation, then "Rocky Miavia" would have just been a forgotten, failed experiment of the 90s that we'd think of the same was as Salvatore Sincere or Aldo Montoya.

This episode of jre is so ironic now
I haven't seen the full episode yet. Power to you brother
Duane the " human PR machine" johnson
Because he had to cuz people are sick of him.
Because we really really really want Cody and he deserves it.
You have Hollywood now Rock
Dwayne pulling a Hogan, brotha
And the rest is history
What a man
... honestly, I didn't realize the nation was supposed to be a heel.
Rest is history..
Young Rocky looks like Ava Raine
So alot of marks in he comments are not realizing tht Yes it is Stone Colds line and the Rock and Tone cold love each other as brothers so yes the Rock probably took it from SC BUT he always gives the credit to SC. Always gobe his flowers. Real.fans know.
Vince saved his career
That's what it seems like from the story
now rock gets 20+ minutes of live promo haha
The rocky hate is ridiculous
Hes earning it these days
No it isn't. Dwayne is a cringey clown.
It's not like the rock's gonna go on Joe Rogans podcast. We all know why. The hate for Dwayne The Pain is justified.
That’s why the rock raises his fist ✊🏾 on nat blk militant power shit
Lol listening to him explain what he did in the 90's is exactly what he did now.

The Rock is turning into Hogan.
Wasn’t that Austin’s line? “It’s me a kicking your ass thing”.
Hmmm
I actually remember him saying something to this effect, because if you watch closely, the other Nation members look at him like "What you talking about Willis". It was really the first sign that wasn't going to be long term good fit.
In alternative universe, Vince saying, No to the Rock. 2001 wwe is dead, wcw lives forever.
Stone Cold would still exist in that universe
@@javi994 but bret hart left in 90s. The other rival of steve austin is bret. He wasn't there in 2000s.
Really bothers me when they tell different versions of the same story. Vince said he told Rock that he's a heel now so tell the crowd exactly what you think of them booing you. And here Rock is saying Vince was hesitant to give him promo time.
Not saying this as a Vince fan btw, screw him. It's just annoying when someone is obviously changing the story to make it more interesting.
Godfather even talk about this and he said The Rock messed up the faction of what it originally was which was a race thing
This was the moment the Rock became Hulk Hogan…
Not Hulk Hogan.. Hollywood Hogan Brotherrrrr.....
@@wrestling.corner I stand corrected 😂
That was a smart move who knows where rock would be if he didn’t have a voice
Turned out alright for him I’d say
Im a rock fan hell my real name is Rocky. But the rock didnt even cut a promo the night he turned heel. He did a rock bottom and then stood in fhe ring with Farooq or however you spell it. Idk why the rock feels like hes gotta tell whoppers like that.
Considering everything Vince has done, it’s weird seeing him talked about in a positive way
Well you can separate Vince the character from Vince the person. Vince the character was an amazing heel. But then, I suppose so was Vince the person LOL
lol he really sounded like Vince
Nation = I'm black and proud!
Bloodline = I'm Samoan and proud!
The final boss
It’s not a heel turn, on paper, he’s the good guy but in reality people can’t stand him anymore
It was a heel turn, the week before he turned heel and joined the nation. This promo was just his justification for it.
hes talking about what occured in 1997
In 2024 the rock when woke new gimmick
😊👍👍👍💯
Austin is still the best the pineapple is whack
GOAT
Is Vince literally behind like every heel turn?? The whole concept of a heel turn is probably his 💡 genius 🤣
Joe Rogan Sold Out on this one …..
The Rock now: I never actually called Vince and didn't like him at all
I'm still booing The Rock have always and always will
I saw this shit live in Biloxi Mississippi 1997 baby!
The nation was a heel group
No version of the Rock is fuckin with Cuban drug lord Rock. I’m talking Rock wit the sideburns and the slow calculated approach. Shit started to get a lil cheesy when he went with the fast paced high pitched voice
This entire show has become a place for former and current pro wrestlers to make outrageously false statements that are very easily disproven. 😂🤦♂️
Cody Rhodes doesn't suck he's just a traditional babyface
Wwe, the rock , McMahon pathology
Says the biggest ego sense the hulkster
And righteously so.. lol 😂
Rock I don’t remember you do such thing
Stone cold do that
Turn him HEAL 😂😂💀
his speech was pretty boring. what i basically got from it was "hey, don't boo me. i don't like it."
I bet a lot of wrestlers wish they had your dads connection and their 2nd match in WWf was a ppv .
Oh...is that why he's one of the famous wrestlers/actors in the world and has 800 million dollar net worth, because of his dads connection?
Well it didn't hurt his chances. Name me 1 other wrestler in the world that their 2nd match was a PPV with top superstars . I will wait .Go back and watch the Rocks matches from 97 on up . They weren't anything special. He got famous for being funny and working a mic . There was a crap ton of wrestlers WAY better then him in the ring
@@Frozen85solid wwe wrestling is a show, it's entertainment. Don't be mad at The Rock just because those "crap ton of wrestlers" didn't get the push they wanted.

If y’all think Wrestling is getting good now, wait til the Netflix switch next year.
He’s part Samoan
