I like how the Rock still yelled at a kid in the PG Era for the kid being a Cena fan 😂😅. Still one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV 😂😅😆😄

[@user-ie7fl5su6c]

The Rock coming back in 2002 to fight the alliance is what truly made him. Nation of Domination did the priming...

[@kadharefinley224]

Rock and Cena’s feud was legendary especially the back and forth promo’s

[@quietmortgage]

No, it wasn't. It was super corny and part of the PG era movement away from the attitude era.

[@KadariusGreen]

Facts. Legendary.

[@zanethind]

True

[@siclay]

his passion to entertain people is what makes the rock one of the🐐of entertainment.. thats why he is that successful.. some people just cant appreciate greatness..

[@LadyAbsolution]

People all of a sudden hate Rock now because of Mania and that’s fine but even as a longtime fan this run in the past decade is nothing compared to his prime

[@mhj626]

Like It's not even close, and I really think him coming back ruined his legacy a little they forget how amazing the rock was.

[@TonyMcCrea]

@@mhj626 True. However, we won't have to speculate on what it would've been like if The Rock ever returned. Because he has. And at least there's some feeling of closure now, seeing what this current "new" Rock is like. It's ain't bad, certainly worse than his original run, but it's the best thing the WWE has had in more than a decade - there's no doubt about that.

[@samsneadd]

Nope they back to lovibg him again 😆 tht hate did not last long

[@Chillaxbruh]

Mmym.mmmhm​@@TonyMcCrea

[@SoCalClip]

And now he’s carrying the main event of wrestlemania. This man truly is THE GREAT ONE, NO DOUBT ON WWE MOUNT RUSHMORE 🔥⚡️

[@DrSamwpepper]

I agree with #WeWantCody but if you're gonna say "the rock is overrated, he was never good" you dont deserve to be a wrestling fan.

[@rj_4mp100]

He was a true great in the Attitude Era and when he was Hollywood Rock, but not in 2024 or even 2012 with those exact same catchphrases. This new heel version of the Rock has the potential to be great however, and the talent is so clearly still there.

[@paulinecorbin1662]

Easily and it's not even a debate. Single handedly saved WrestleMania. I would've got bored to death watching Cody midcarder finishing the cringe story

[@shawnmichaels568]

People need to realise that we love the Rock, It's just the worst possible timing.

[@zanethind]

Very true

[@zanethind]

Well he did turn heel now and hates the Cody fans

[@teemimika7105]

Crazy how time has changed wrestling fans, back then we wanted Rock so much that we didn't care CM Punk getting pushed aside. Now everyone rejecting The Rock and everyone is jumping on #wewantcody train

[@ralphmarbler27]

Like sheep. People forget who the Rock is.

[@raul5081]

One mistake is enough. Good storylines are better than dream matches between part timers.

[@Dmoney12392]

Cody crybabies 😂 - Cody could never have been the Rock in the attitude Era - Lucky the Rock is too busy to care

[@angrybeaver4995]

Smarks want the same outcome they've been getting for 10 years now. The vanilla midget beats the odds against the big, bad WWE corporation that "held them back" they become WWE world champion.

[@princesskristan]

I've loved the Rock since I was a kid, and he's still funny to me

[@chadmccarthy1898]

The rock concerts was great but my favorite will always be the Vicki song lmfao just listening to Michael Cole literally dying of laughter was great

[@himanshubhaskar9797]

A homeless power Ranger is tough😂😂😂

[@user-fo1dd7rg5y]

Attitude Era will never come back and this dude was on the peak!

[@drewellis95]

4:10 That one got me 😂😂😂😂

[@citywidsky9988]

all ways a great day when Wrestling Flashback uploads

[@stevegallo8483]

At one point, WWE tried to book a match between Triple H and the Rock, which was why Sting got jobbed out to Trips (So Vince could relive the Monday Night wars one last time!). Then Rock couldn't fit the match into his schedule.

[@danielwebster5748]

During the song that he sang to Vicky it was nice to hear the commentary go off script and laugh their ass off.

[@ShaunInce123]

I just realized something. Both parts one & two of this series have The Rock & Stephanie McMahon in the thumbnail

[@ill-ythechannel54]

The GOAT 🐐🔥🔥🔥

[@durandparkerjr9502]

Rock is so different 😂

[@aaritbajaj08]

I love it The Rock Just gave me so many nostalgic memories "It Doesnt Matter What u want"

[@KadariusGreen]

Facts love Rock.

[@XxkillerxX10]

I’m halfway through the video, and I ACTUALLY have goosebumps over how hard I’m cringing.

[@KadariusGreen]

You don't know greatness. If it was stone cold y'all wouldn't say shit.

[@DeanMoxley87]

I'm the same, I watch old Ep's of Raw and it's that bad it's good. some old Ep's of Raw during the AE are cringe worthy, Even Austin has made me cringe,

[@XxkillerxX10]

@@KadariusGreen “You don’t know greatness” 🤣 You’re without a doubt the targeted demographic for this cringefest. An adult with the brain of a 12 year old.

the rock and roman vs cody and seth for WrestleMania

[@AIRiddleRoom]

Whether this was initially done or not with the Cody stuff, WWE's job is too entertain and no matter if you are feeling happiness or anger, they've got you so just embrace the story no matter what side you're on but be respectful.

[@rory4605]

He had it all written for him.

[@samuelteixeira8251]

Actualy... he didn't. The Rock is his own creation. WWF created Rocky Maivia, but the people was on an hate train for the character, he was about to get sacked, but he talked to Vince to try The Rock, and people loved it.

Espero que Roman vs Rock nunca aconteça. A WWE não merece ganhar dinheiro com isso.

[@jonathanharwood1255]

I'm wondering if Rock returning for Wrestlemania is a bait and switch. He could be present for it but maybe Cody will be facing Roman. We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully he'll be a guest referee and will face Roman later on.

[@andrewgibbons6074]

I hate what wwe did to the great khali, he went from a dominant force and someone to be feared, to a giant in a pink tutu with fairy wings wearing a pink crown while holding a pink wand.

[@michaelbirch5270]

every other Hollywood action star must be envious of The Rock, the way that every time his movies start tanking at the box office, he is able to go back to wrestling and recharge his batteries.

[@lelandmckeevertheadventure768]

The rock will probably fight Roman reigns on night 1 of wrestliemania and Cody Rhodes wins the title on night 2 and after the match the rock will turn heel and attack Rhodes after the match to join the bloodline

[@Leviathan1000]

Stone cold is still the greatest.

[@quietmortgage]

His roasts were great as a heel. But as a "good guy" corny. The PG era really started with the Rock turning babyface and Austin turning heel. Go watch his promo after Survivor Series when he won the belt for the Corporation and this bubble gum roasting.

[@taekwondorian]

Meh 😕

[@tonycherry5270]

I want to do a feud with the rock to help my confidence even more, I was the thinking the rock vs MR Romeo in a infamous match Then after the feud the rock can team up with MR Romeo Rock I’m your biggest WWE and Roman Reigns I got all of Roman Reigns shirts I acknowledge you I acknowledge the bloodline

Somehow he gets hated big up the rock if u smellllll what he cooking

[@Stowerslemalu]

This is the problem; modern Rock bears zero resemblance in gimmick of the Rock of 00 when he was arguably the most over guy ever. Hes no where near as funny, edgy or charismatic. All we get now is Dwayne Johnson, thats why none of Rocks runs as a face will ever work today because he comes across as dull corny and sanitised.

[@Dmoney12392]

Bro PG Era ruined that - Please show some awareness 😂 - Back when Rock was talking in his prime you could say whatever, he had to tome it down

[@Stowerslemalu]

@@LeeBrown-in6os dude no one switched on Rock in 2000 lol just watch any of his promos or pops during that year with no Austin around he was the undisputed number 1 and then went further than Austin.

[@master-of-mind5881]

Yeah I see what you are saying that now he’s playing an over exaggerated version of himself which is Dwayne. The rock was always a persona or alter ego like a superhero. Dwayne is truly who he is. Can you separate the art from the artist?

[@mhj626]

@@Stowerslemalu yea the rock my favorite wrestler of all time but he's been washed since 2012, and It's okay to say that I still think he's a top 5 wrestler of all time.

@@mhj626 yes I agree with that current Rock isnt even as entertaining as say prime Angle in my opinion. Rock for me at his peak in 99-00 is the goat. Right now not even top 10

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

The rocks finishers were all the cheapest finishers ever, but he's just so charismatic that he makes them work lol. The rock bottom is an uranagi, but it looks like he's putting his children to sleep. The people's elbow is so silly and has zero impact. And his sharpshooter is so loose, it just looks weak. But you just can't help but love it cause it's the rock 😂

[@darksalvation3933]

The rock is top five but not the GOAT. That’s Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[@titod.7012]

The Rock > Austin

[@darksalvation3933]

@@titod.7012 Austin by a mile. The Rock is top five though. Austin isn’t really around wrestling anymore but his catch phrases and shirts are still around today. The rock keeps coming back sporadically. Austin is the reason the WWF survived the Monday night wars.

[@titod.7012]

@darksalvation3933 by a mile my eye. The Rock's been bigger and better since 2000. Austin didn't do it alone either need stop the narrative that he saved wwf singlehandedly he was closely associated with Vince and had a good supporting cast in 98. The Rock and Hogan got over on the strengths of their charisma alone. Austin was the most helped main eventer ever.

[@darksalvation3933]

@@titod.7012 huh? Austin got popular by using a character he created and kicking the bosses ass. Lol. The rock had to try multiple changes to his character before finally getting cheered. Austin didn’t save it himself no but he was the biggest draw. He gets the loudest pops no matter heel or face. Austin wrestled injured multiple times and carried the company. The Rock is top five like I said but he will never be able to surpass Austin.

[@titod.7012]

@darksalvation3933 yeah he got over as much as he did because he was a foil to vince mcmahon. Raw didn't beat wcw in the ratings till austin faced mcmahon. Austin being champ wasn't enough. Guys like hogan and Rock don't need to attach themselves to anyone to get mega over. The Rock is just a bigger star.

[@ShadowWolffi]

I'm so happy rock took the American dumpsters place at wrestlemania Cody doesn't deserve a rematch he deserves to earn it like everyone else since he returned he ruined other people's careers by kissing wwes ass to getting all the opportunities
