During my childhood, Monday night, 9 P.M, Thursday night, 8 P.M and then watch all the highlights during the weekends at 10:00 A.M Saturday and Sunday (Sunday if I didn't go church that day). Even though to this day I'm still a pro wrestling fan, it's not the same as when it was during the "Attitude" Era (1997-2004). The two superstars that represent that era more than anyone would be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and this dude right here, "The People's Champ," The Rock.
And while the Rock's matches (especially when they were with Austin) were instant classics, what was even more classic was his promos. In pro wrestling terms, promos were when each wrestler had their chance to talk shit about the his or her opponent. And when it comes to promos, NO ONE delivered like The Rock. To this day, these clips still me cry outta laughter...
NOTE: Some of these jokes are inside jokes that only wrestling fans will get...
Exhibit A: The Rock & NWO...
Exhibit B: The Rock talking about Chris Jericho before the '02 Royal Rumble on Smackdown...
Exhibit C: On Raw, a week before a 5 way "Hell In The Cell" match @ '98 Armageddon Pay-Per-View
Exhibit D: The Rock & The Coach before he faced Hulk Hogan for the first time @ Wrestlemania 18 in 2002. I remember see this one live. I laugh everytime I rewatch this one tape. "What in the blue hell is wrong with YOU!?!? WUD UP G!?!?" LMAO!!!
Exhibit E: The Rock singing "La Bamba" to the late, great Eddie Guerrero
Exhibit F: The Best of 1999 (One of the best years in wrestling history)
Exhibit G: Last but not least, "Rock... This is your life," (c) Mankind. This is Reportedly the highest rated segment in Monday Night Raw History.
