10.

That nikka had everything. Could play either side face or heel and do it masterfully. Which made up for what he didnt do well in the ring (submission execution). Top level seller. I loved how with him or Austin if either of them were pissed with u it was no words it was on sight (eg Rocky being pissed at Vince after WM 17).

The most electrifying man in sports entertainment

Well if R=G can give HBGOAT a 4 I guess I can give the Rock a 3 for being an inferior talent. It's professional wrestling, not professional talking, can't think of a match we're the Rock carried an opponent. He was John Cena before John Cena. He couldn't carry anyone but put him in with a good talent he could hold his own and not screw up, like Cena and we routinely say on here that Cena ruined the industry, and Rock was Cena before Cena came around so I think a 3 is fair.

The Great One gets a 10 and I'm not talking about the disgruntled whiny clown who posts on here.

He became a wrestling icon and now he's on the way to becoming a Hollywood icon.

And that sharpshooter, one of the most atrocious looking submissions of all time

You botched that, should have just said it doesn't matter what you give the Rock. Too many words comes out jumbled, 3 on the execution, just like the rocks score

10. No one controlled a crowd like him. Rocky Maiava transition to The Rock was a thing of beauty. Shout out to Farooq. Anybody giving less than an 8 maybe just due to his in ring ability is negged onsite

Easiest 10 I’ll ever give

Rock gave us so many classic moments and matches. My personal favorite is the time he was the special guest ref and commentator for the Triple H/Bulldog title match on Smackdown

I’m still dying laughing to this day :russ:
