    In 2003, after being gone for 6 months to film another movie. The Rock came back to the WWE, however this time, his character was very different from the last time we saw him. The Rock for the first time since early 1999 was no longer a "Face" he was no longer a good guy. Instead he embraced his Hollywood side that all the fans hated him for, and became Hollywood Rock. Which ended up being one of the greatest gimmicks of a heel we had ever seen.

    So much of Hollywood Rock was his promos and him talking. Sadly due to copyright I could not include much of those clips. It took like three different versions of this video until it finally got approved from copyright. Hopefully you still enjoyed❤

    The main reason it was so short lived? He was too entertaining for the fans to stay mad at him for long. By the time the Goldberg feud started post Wrestlemania 19, he was already getting cheered again.

    Hollywood Rock truly was something else. In a time when he was transitioning from a wrestler to Hollywood, it was perfect timing to act like a sellout and what better way to do that with a good old fashion heel turn. It was perfect. His promos were just as great and hilarious, but as heel, he became more savage and it was amazing stuff. Face or heel, the Rock truly is the people’s champion.🤨

    My favorite Hollywood Rock promo is of course the Rock Concert he did the Raw before Mania 19. The way he roasted Sacramento and the Sacramento Kings was funny as hell, and it got better when the Hurricane showed up in Austin’s truck and Rock had the police arrest him and said that Hurricane is guilty of shoving chicken mcnuggets up his ass.

    The Rock during this phase pulled off an anomaly that very few were able to do. He managed to make JR actually laugh on live commentary.
    In the Rock Concert, the Hurricane came out to interrupt him. Rock had the cops come and arrest and had one of the best burns ever.
    As the cops were escorting Hurricane out of the ring, he said and I quote "He's guilty of shoving chicken mcnuggets straight up his ass!" And that line was so funny that even JR, for a BRIEF second, actually laughed before going back to commentating.
