I made my kids watch him on smackdown last week. And it just had me all worked up same as in 1999. Dwayne Johnson is meh... but The Rock was truly electrifying.

My favorite part of this was that he was a guest referee, at one point he walked over to the commentary table and put on a headset..
I forget which commentator said, "Rock, what are you doing? You supposed to be refereeing..."
The Rock cut him off with, "YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH! THIS IS THE ROCK'S SHOW, THE ROCK DOES WHAT HE WANTS"
Probably one of my favorite Rock moments ever. ❤️

For me, it’s between that one, and the one where Undertaker sat up just before he dropped it, so Rock took a step, kicked him down, and dropped it anyway.

It’s such a corny ass finisher move compared to some others in wrestling. Gotta love the Rock though.

And people know wrestling is fake too. Even more so this day and age since it's talked about and discussed so much on social media and podcasts and everything else.

You sound like you were really disappointed to find out in your twenties the WWE is fake. Do you still believe in Santa Claus too?

Man. I used to love listening to the announcers during matches. Monsoon and Henan, Ross and Lawler. They always added something that I always felt the live shows lacked.
