Witnessing The Rocks prime from 1998-2003 was a joy
I always thought that the reason the Stone Cold Steve Austin character and The Rock's character were compelling was because they were both born of their creators' real and legitimate frustrations with the state of their careers: Steve had yet to achieve the heights he knew he was capable of despite many years of hard work, injuries and personal sacrifice. Rocky Maivia failed to get over as a babyface and was even met with chants of "rocky sucks" during matches. Some fans even made signs with the words "Die Rocky Die". Both wrestlers incorporated some of their resentment into their new wrestling personas. Austin became a ruthless, hardened warrior who would do whatever it took to get ahead in a game rigged against him. Rocky became a flamboyant egotist who could effortlessly spit the crowd's venom back at them tenfold. The characters resonated because they were at least partially real. They were also saying things that people could relate to: most people are at least a little frustrated with their work, and nobody likes being hated for no good reason. Over time both characters morphed from heels to anti-heroes and the rest is history. Sorry for the rant.
I’ve always heard the rocks stuff was written for him. Probably why said writer still works for him.
Great stuff Man 👏
Could you write something about Undertaker? And Kane 🙏
@@shatnermohanty6678 Thanks. I'm glad somebody enjoyed my little rant but, sorry, I don't have anything interesting to say about The Brothers.
@@Almatty Take your time . I'm sure you will come up with something similar in analysing the Brothers
Your comment has so much depth and detail 👌
Rock n Sock vs The Hardy Boyz in the attitude era would have been so fucking dope and you and Jeff only ever came close to wrestling the rock in that gangrel vs rock match such a shame, even tho jeff got to wrestle him in 03
I use to have tons of respect for the hardest, However them turning their backs on the company that made them shows what a trash team they are. They shouldn't even be allowed to mention the wwe
he relied on catch phrases way to much, his in ring work is sort of clunky but he’s fun to watch and that’s all that matters
Rock’s in ring ability was overrated. His mic skills, charisma, and showmanship made him a top guy during his time. Add a cool intro and graphic and he was golden…but as far as in ring wrestling skill? Pretty ordinary.
I agree I’ve been thinking about this quite for some time that if you nail one of the things (mic skills or wrestling) then you’ll become a top guy and people would be overlooking your weaknesses (jeff hardy was an absolute legend in the ring but never touched the mic)
