Was watching an old Raw recently he actually appears before SS96 I was like :dwillhuh: doesn't wrestle though just walks down the aisle with other members of the team as someone is wrestling.

It's great they kept pushing him over and over after his initial complete flop when he was getting booed out of buildings.
It gave us one of the best of the attitude era.
A lesson should have been learned there.Instead sometimes people are pushed fail and that's them just pushed aside.


As corny as he got in his last run no doubt attitude era Rocky that 3 year run or so 98-01 was one of the greats of all time.
It was a lesson of the old ways being out of touch and that the young generation knew gimmick worked for them. All that BabyFace Rocky stuff was Vince and company...everything that broke records was all the Rock and that's why no matter what they try, they can't duplicate it.

Yeah Cena's been doing the same corny childish shyt for 11+ years and counting, and people say he's better than Rock? :heh:

nikkas give Triple H shyt but at least he mixed up his character, gimmick, had several changes over the years :hubie:
How blessed were we 15 years ago to see this man every week on TV

2000 was just so :ohlawd:

One of my favourite promos by him is the one he cut before Royal Rumble 2013, he stumbles a bit and is a little sloppy but the passion in his voice makes you believe every word he says; and when he mentions his mother could of died of cancer but is here tonight (then shows her) I nearly tear up brehs. So good. (skip to 4.20)

The point around half way into the Summerslam 98 ladder match when he looks at the crowd to set up people's elbow while HHH is laying ontop of the ladder and MSG ERUPTS and starts chanting his name :wow:

Dude transitioned from upper midcard to mega star in that very second.

^^Still remember that 2011 return. Was an intense moment. Can't believe its been 5 years.

One of the greatest moments in WWE history imo. To return after 7 years, get one of the biggest pops of all time, and cut a 5* promo where he doesn't miss a single beat isn't an easy thing to do; but he pulled it off :wow:
