The Story of "Hollywood" Rock in 2003

[@atlien1988]

Interesting how The Rock’s run was insanely short, yet generationally iconic.

[@Mickieshelton]

What it means everything he did was quality.

[@theazureknight9399]

His run being short also meant that it never had the time to get old and for fans to get bored of him. Same with Stone Cold btw.

[@ArthurKillingsworthJr]

Yet Cena on top for 10 years got so stale and cancerous

[@Hausbrauen]

Short runs with a lot of effort and talent behind them *are* typically the greatest. That's why knowing when to cut something before it gets stale is so important.

[@Jcrash71]

Not better than Ric Flairs run

[@RandomBlackGamer]

Enjoyed this version of The Rock. I enjoyed him even more in Smackdown HCTP. His heel moveset was so damn fun.

@@jordandennis6794 lol I remember trolling my friend by using Rock's face slap grapple over & over until the head damage was in the red.

That sounds pretty dope. The last wrestling game I played was WCW/NWO: Revenge. I loved it so damn much I never wanted to play another PW game again. I also went to college and I had very little time or money for games at that point.

[@WrestlingBios]

[@luvmenow33]

That song was amazing. The crowd lost it with that Lakers beat the kings in May line. That was my favorite Rock Concert but a close second was when he sang , "Byatch, you look horrible tonight" to Vickie. You dress like a hooker, & not the expensive kind. Pure Gold.

For me, Wrestlemania 19 was the end of an era. Stone Cold retired and The Rock would spend more time working on movies. In my opinion, that was the point where the product really started going downhill.

[@jumbomacaroni]

TheFatalitiesTV this is true Brock was huge from his introduction and new stars like Randy and Batista we’re taking huge strides in the main event scene, let’s not also forget Kurt and Trips were also big stars along with Cena and Edge. But when Hogan, Austin and The Rock left that was the end of the Ruthless aggression era. Soon things would decline into the PG era where the WWE went public on Wall Street.

Truly legendary stuff from all those men.

[@JayCity10]

My favorite line was during Rock Appreciation Night. Goldberg was to debut and the crorwd began chanting Goldberg's name. The Rock procedded to say " Don't think you're cool because you know The Rock's accountant Ira Goldberg ok. It's tax season I get it." Only The Rock could have thought of something that witty, clever, and funny.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

As much as I enjoyed The Rock as the corporate champion in November 98 - April 99, his best work was his heel run as Hollywood Rock in 2003. He was so funny and entertaining, his promo in Toronto Canada where he faced Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania X-8 is an absolute classic and the way he owned the fans for booing him out of the building. This period really showed how versatile he was as a performer and was always constantly reinventing himself, he got viciously booed at Summerslam 02 and straight away turned heel when he came back in 03. He never dragged things out and always knew when it was time to change his character. He isn't just one of the greatest of all time but one of the smartest, he always turns a negative to a positive and uses it to his full advantage. His promos were amazing as always and put over so many guys including Goldberg and Hurricane. He beat Hogan at No Way Out and finally beat Austin at Wrestlemania. So even though this heel run lasted three months, I still consider it to be his best one ever.

You have to remember that the only reason The Rock returned to WWE was just to obtain his title again. When he became a fulltime actor, he lost his name cause Vince owned the title The Rock. When he was a full time Actor his name was Dwayne Johnson. After he returned to be Hollywood Rock, Vince gave him his title back when he obtained a new contract with him and now when you see him in the Movies his title is now Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Vince still has him under his thumb but I think Dwayne loves the wrestling business so much , he doesnt care which is why I love him so much as a wrestler. Wrestling is in the rocks blood. amazing life. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin WAS the Attitude Era hands down.
