Evolution of The Rock Entrance 1998-2024 - WWE Games

[@bluetech2809]

The graphical difference between the first PS2 main game and the last main PS2 game is like a generational leap. Absolutely insane it was such a good time to be alive.

2K just need to make a wrestling game with just the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Era.

[@buster1764]

and a little more arcade like hctp

[@RyanBoonslokovich]

I wonder if they have roster creators that import wrestlers that reflect each time period.

[@nicobean5064]

I say that only everyday💯

[@louio]

Exactly, these modern wrestlers need to step aside for a bit.

[@devonarcher9076]

YESSIR

[@Sadoodi]

Just Bring It and Shut Your Mouth looked the most smooth and natural. Also they nail his championship entrance with the belt flip in Shut Your Mouth

[@Yajeeb]

Smack down: (just bring it/Shut your mouth) were so smooth and good on the eyes.

[@laminlatrel6402]

Especially 1:51

[@Justchris00]

6:04 best entrance hands down💯

[@MikeyJae777]

WWF SmackDown: Just Bring It, Know Your Role, and HCTP were among the few wrestling games I played growing up and watching this video brought back so many fond memories. Imo, the graphics on the older games beat todays games.

[@VaderPopsVicodin10]

Man, these bring me way back.. the nostalgia is real. Rock's older theme songs were so much better, too.

Shoot, we couldn't imagine graphics being what they are today... as long as the games were good we played them. To put it in perspective, the first time RAW came out it was considered having the best graphics ever. Then we played it😂

[@nocapnofilter2026]

Yes you could have because those were GOOD graphics at the time coming from 2d and side scroll there nothing else better to compare to so it was that or just not playing you didn’t have todays graphics to compare to make that decision. 🤷‍♂️

ps2 era wwe games was something else

[@nicksamoa2296]

That leap in graphics from 14 to 15 is so insane

[@AliKiani_021]

The Rock's theme song has always been one of the top songs and I like all of them, but his new theme song is a combination of his retro theme song and his current theme song, and this is wonderful. I hope we will see the final boss in the ring soon.

[@jaymoney5577]

Here comes the pain is the best one all his mannerisms are spot on at that time

[@XTHHedgehog]

It's so odd that the WWE 12 entrance didn't start with that game, because the timing is so well with the new theme.

[@Se-youngg]

Here comes the pain will ALWAYS be the Greatest wrestling game to never be matched and the rock's entrance shows that. This is when people cared about the product they put it, now it's copy and paste. How the older games look and play better and technology wasn't as far as it is now.

The graphical switch from SvR to WWE games really is such a drastic difference. Edit: Boy WWE ‘13 looks terrible inbetween ‘12 and 2k14. Was that because it was on PS3 or did it really look bad. Been nearly a decade since I’ve played it.

His entrance is one of my favourite entrance ever I love it so much

[@Official_BlaccGoat]

Using know your role as a heel entrance wouldn't male sense it's better to use his Do you smell or 2003 theme

[@JaytT1197]

@@Official_BlaccGoat but he says that in the entrance tho. It would make sense look. Rock comes back again as Hollywood Rock, biggest name in the world, too famous to be around these jabronis all that, then Cody can be upset his story isn't finishing and Rock hits him with the know your role and shut your mouth. That would work lol

One of these days 2k will get all the details right with the rock like the old days.. down to his right animations in the ring, and entrances. One of these days. WWE 2K24 has a model of 01 Rock that looks pretty much copy and pasted (but younger this time which is improvement but still…) you’d think they’d pay attention to details more with one of the greatest WWE superstars ever.

The Rock is my favorite wrestler of all time, and his "know your role"(very first If Ya Smellllll) theme is my favorite theme song ever for him, it just fits him!!!

Imagine the huge pop he'll get from it with just the beginning If Ya Smellllll...what The Rock...is cookin'!!! That would be EPIC!!!!
