Come on now breh lol. All those pie jokes, got stale after a while. Most of the rock promos back then were cool as a kid, but as a grown man, they were lame and corny. Austin was the definition of bad ass, and the everyday man could relate to him more than the rock
In all honesty
I was more of NWO/Heel Hulk Hogan fan
Then Generation X was next
But to stay on topic of this thread
The Rock was just too much fukkery
Maybe it’s identity politics
Before that we had pimps, a voodoo man from Africa, a nikka from a junkyard, and another nikka with a parrot on his shoulder
That were very
in representation
But I still hold those wrestlers dear to my childhood
Just like the Samoan/Tongan flying bredren
The Rock just had the swag that represented US at the time
Now he just kinda
that side to him
Which is kind of sad
Mankind is my other GOAT honorable mention
As well as when Sting took on The Crow persona
