A 10 in every sense of the word. Him and Austin are 1a and 1b for me, and it depends on the day. Though he took some style from Ric Flair, Flair never resonated with me nearly like The Rock. His character evolution was amazing, he had loads of GOAT promos, standout matches, fantastic themes, and simply a GOAT. He’s a huge reason why the WWE is all about their brand instead of building actual stars. They don’t want anybody bigger than the company and controlling their careers like the Rock. If he called up Vince right now and told him he wanted a 6 month title reign, Vince would knock over HHH and Steph and give it to him.
One reason why I have had Rock in front of Austin a lot of times is cause Rock never bytched about laying down for wrestlers “beneath him”. Rock made X-PAC, Al Snow, Big Bossman, The Hurricane and several others look like a million bucks, and was entertaining while doing it. Also, Rock developed his swag during a GOAT stable in the Nation. There is no Rock without the Nation. As a 31 year old, Rock was to me what Flair was for fans who are 40+. There will never be another Rock.
