Every time The Rock’s dad talks about their relationship I cry.
Seems like his dad could have made anyone a success.
If your dad/uncle/grandpaw was a successful athlet since you were born, Bringing you around his environment, preparing for his environment ,after years of seeing the hottest talent, and learning how to prepare, by the time you are 13, you know what you’re going to be. Not only would you be that. you have a head start on guys who don’t come from that background. You have decades of years of experience by the age of 24 you know that game inside and out. The rest is really up to you at that point. Most of the work is done bc it’s in your blood.
The Rock is the unique situation where he was legitimately the best and no one hates him...people hate Hogan, people hate Flair, People Hate Bret Hart, people hate Shawn Michaels...no one hates The Rock
And stone cold general good guys no wonder why the are the biggest wrestlers of all time
Just like The Undertaker no one got beef with him
I believe it came down to taker rock and austin not having ridiculous egos they just did what was best for buisness and still able to make themselves look great
Keep in mind late 90's wrestling was different from early 90's and before wrestling. The backstage was a pit of vipers. You had to politic, to backstab, to double deal or get eaten alive. That sort of environment breeds hostility. Is it any wonder Flair, Hogan and HBK have enemies? Hell, 1998 HBK is an entirely different person from 2003 and later HBK.
Except HHH
Rock has always been a class act in and out of the ring, on and off set.
Superb analysis good sir.
You love to hear it
Can we all just appreciate that Rocks parents seem like great people and they raised their son right
Sadly you would be mistaken about his dad. Google him and do some minor digging you will see some bad stuff. Also I believe the rock said in the past, he didn't speak to his dad for quite a few years cause of some of the stuff
Dwayne said in his book his dad was an alcoholic & had depression. He didn’t see him much. Who he praises his is mother & he highly respected his grandfather.
Rock has come out plenty of times mentioning how Vince Russo was one of the main driving forces behind the character.
This is just a blanket statement with ZERO evidence!! I’ve seen Plenty Rock interviews and he never mentions Russo. Yes he bigs him up if asked about him but that’s It
@@humblesmith1215 so to you plenty of times means every interview he's ever done??? Lmaoooooo
The best part is The Rock’s father, love him in interviews and in the ring
The soul man should have been the first black wwe champion. He was over as hell even among white folk.
Dwayne is starting to look more and more like his father as he ages
RIP Rocky Johnson. What a nice man.
He aint dead
@@trevora2009 he has passed.
Didn't he kill somebody?
@@salientboxyour point is? Seems he was sexual predator though
@@salientbox That's Jimmy Snukka
Thanks for compiling this, Rock is my all-time favorite!
The Rock , Undertaker, Sting, the big 3 you WONT EVER hear bad things about... never hear peers trash them, never hear stories of politicking backstage, being difficult. NOTHING
The Jabroni beating, pie eating, trailblazing, eyebrow raising, John Cena chain Reminds me of the 80s I see him with all these guys where the hell are the ladies
When did he say this 😂
If you smellllllllllllllllll what the Rock....(pause)........ is COOOOOOOOOOOKING
Can Russo tell the truth on anything? It has been documented by several different people that Jim Ross came up with the 3rd person promos for the Rock
Prichard is the only one that says that. Ross came up with the third person thing but Russo named him The Rock.
@@OfficialJihad Dwayne Johnson on one of his WWE DVD releases said Jim Ross approached the idea of changing the name just to "The Rock".
@@matthewalkman386 that is possible. Bug considering the sheer volume of demonstrably false statements Russo has made, he can’t really be believed here. Also in his head. The rock speaking in the 3rd person is what made him a star. Not the rocks rock star like charisma and insane good looks and dominant vocal tones and literally everything that is Dwayne Johnson. Nope it was talking in the 3rd person.
I like how people claim to have given the rock his name remember The Rock's father's name is Rocky
I swear to God bro, I came up with the whole Jesus gimmick, I was thinking for years bro, yeaaars bro, that the fans needed a messiah bro and bro, he got o.v.e.r. When he did that thing with the, with the uhhh, bread bro...I was like, bro, do it with fish too, that will blow m.i.n.d.s bro.
Imagine if you turned water into wine, bro??? BRO!!
😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
You a damn Fool, Cuz🔥😂👏⛽
Omg....this is gold 😂😂
😆 This is great dude. 😆
Of all the stories you hear on the Rock, these from his coworkers have to carry a shit load of significance... People saying how good of a guy he is, how humble, how he never disrespected and appreciated everyone... Then after his marriage falls apart there's not a bitter divorce battle but they go into business together and don't even hire lawyers. Plus he's all about his family when a lot of big celebs dont even talk to or about their families and exes...Just an absolute legend in every possible regard... The Great One definitely fits.
Both of his parents' favorite movie being Gridiron Gang says a lot about their character, but also how good of a person The Rock is shows that. They raised the guy well. And as Rocky Johnson says, the rest is history.. RIP Rocky
I actually think Russo might be telling the truth. People say JR came up with it but he was still calling the Rock, Rocky Maivia. Even much after Rock told everyone to call him the Rock in the ring. Why would would someone who says they came up with The Rock, still call him Maivia to the world on commentary? Doesn't make sense. Russo is put down by many but he still gave us the best stuff from the attitude era.
R I P Mr. Rocky Johnson
Thank You 🙏 for teaching the Dwayne The Rock Johnson
Continued Blessings 😇🙏 to The Johnson Family
Many Great Memories Watching The Rock, Thank You 🙏
How can you have parents like the Rock and not be successful? Not to take anything away from the Rock, but him have a strong and healthy relationship with his dad was integral to his success and confidence.
I don't get constantly asking if he's the most successful wrestler of all time. The answer is obviously yes. No one is close.
Yh honestly there was no need to ask it
vince mcmahon
@@vityazsix Vince isn't a wrestler lol. Nor was he self made. His dad made the company, Vince just improved it, temporarily.
It's fishing for the answer in the interviewees words.
Awesome interviews. Awesome family and the Rock has a heart of gold. So sad to hear about his father's passing.
Polynesians raise their kids to have respect. Not surprised by all the stories
Shamrock was my Favourite in the attitude Era
Oh yeah. Very underrated. The biggest mistake they made was not book a long term program with shamrock and owen hart.
I swear to God bro ,I was in the woods and it was a bear sitting there ,I snook up on him and literally scared the shit out of him,and that's when bears started to shit in the woods..... Russo
Needs more bros
Only wrestler besides the undertaker and kane that ive never heard any bad things said about
What about stone cold
Except from Clique members. What a shocker tho 🤣
@@kurisu2847 Austin had some backstage politics
Kurisu huge politician, crybaby, held guys down, walked out twice, beats women & is an alleged racist according to three of the women he beat.
@@kurisu2847 He beat Debra. And didn't want to work with J. Jarrett but thats definitely justifiable
Shamrock was badly underrated in wwe
How many people take credit for calling him the rock
Me
@yellow meloe fact. Rocky is the only man I believe because he told Dwayne, Rocky Maivia was a bad idea
I take full credit...It was me...I did it
I DID IT FOR THE ROCK
@@FozzQuaker ok Rikishi 😄
Only the people
I always wondered how Rock was that good on the mic. Now I know he was cutting promos at a very early age. Makes sense.
@We are all going To die soon! Sorry to disappoint you but what you're talking about is called charisma. I'm talking about the skill to cut a promo. Which he learned from cutting them at an early age. This is backed by his father.
@@edmondhonda2763
I have to believe that being a member of the University of Miami Hurricanes had an influence in his evolving into the Rock too.
He was terrible from the beginning but got better. He did rely on catchphrases at first but he stole many of them from other people.
I’ve never met Rock, but I haven’t heard anything bad about him. And I do like his movie jumanji it’s a fun time.
This interview makes me realize that the rocks attitude and character in the ring came from his dad: Rocky Johnson
Remember when Vince Russo whispered to Moses,, "psst, Hey Moses. Come'ere... Take these tablets..."
lol If enough time passes, he'll take credit for EVERYTHING.
I just love hearing people say nice things about The Rock. I watched this whole damn thing
Fun fact: multiple people have said that the first Vince Russo story is false.
Could have left out "first".
according Jim Ross it was his idea to call him The Rock and have himself start talking in third person after watching a Deion Sanders interview i don’t believe Russo!
Hannibal, I’d love to hear more about how you actually booked an interview with Rocky Johnson. Is there a story to it? I mean, with The Rock being his son I’d assume he didn’t need the money so I just wonder what made him agree to do an interview with you.
he loves the business
I want to book your auntie for a naked wrestling match
@@vityazsix he loves you're auntie
Ken shamrock should be hof
Yeah, but I don't think he wants to.
9:31 We were both the #1 guys.
Umm, maybe in your own head, Ken.
Austin & Rock owned the show. You couldn’t cut a promo if it handed you a knife.
Pretty cool that both of his parents said gridiron gang were their favorites of theirs.
Thanks for the video, THE HANNIBAL TV
lol you cant trust anything that he says "bro" cause if u asked him he'd tell you he was solely responsible for the attitude era, the rock addressing himself in the third person, Stone Colds gimmick, The double cross idea of the Montreal screwjob, how it was his idea for Owen hart to descend from the rafters (but told him it was ok if he didnt feel ok with it), the success of the womens division, how it was thanks to him and his genius that they were able to win the Monday night wars etc. etc.
I think he uses "bro" to think ahead. Just as people say uhm, and uhh alot when speaking so they can construct their lie.
Dude!!! Ken fucking Shamrock!!!! Glad to see him again
@3:20 to skip Russo
This dude Russo is responsible for everything good but no fails he's a liar
But he won't bring up Owen hart. Such a douche bag.
You can tell when a narcissist is full of shit... just saying
Tanesha Richardson what about Owen? The WWF’s facilities manager brought the idea to Russo, Russo booked it, McMahon approved it, the rigging company fumbled the logistics & they are to blame.
many people who hate russo like Cornette always give credit to him and that he can book a good show but he just need a filter....a damn good filter to add, in the past is Vince or like Heyman
If someone was to make a biopic of his Denzel would be the ideal actor to play him… if the rock isn’t already playing himself that is
Austin might be the “biggest star” but Rock was by far the most unselfish and way easier to work with. I mean, did the Austin fanboys forget what he did to Debra?
What Austin did outside the business has nothing to do with his place and legacy in it. Debra wasn't a pure angel either.
@The Dude Abides he's talking about in wrestling. Worldwide there's no comparison
@The Dude Abides Rock is more mainstream and became the most successful wrestler to do movies. But he didn't draw more money in wrestling than Stone Cold. No one did maybe Hogan. Maybe
Hellraiser Gordon but even business e refuse to put over HHH and Rock also
@@chrisbuehler6868 ultimate warrior was pretty big. even diesel with his jackknife powerbomb run before it was banned. undertaker may be best gimmick. mankind maybe one of the most respected.
Vince BRusso taking credit yet again bro.
Every time! Smh
I've never skipped past something so fast in my life
Trump and Russo 2020 lol 😷🤟🏻
@@chrislickteig5697 russo is more like a democrat
Taking credit that Rock has given him in his book, interviews & even on Twitter.
vince russo has zero shame lol ! I came up with the rock and told him how to work the mic !!!! honestly don't even know where to begin with this guy "bro"
You know you're a cold piece, when you got your ex-wife working for you!!! Rock is THAT dude!!
With* she a boss in her own right but I feel your sentiment man! Gotta be a good dude to still have that healthy a relationship post divorce.
Compilation of people who came up with the idea for "The Rock".
LOVE that such a wide ranging bunch from the wrestling biz were consistent with the praise for The Rock’s kindness and professionalism. I’m also actually very surprised about the praise from Juvetud - I really thought The Rock legit hated him for that angle.
Is Russo bullshitting? I thought JR came up with "The Rock" from watching Deion Sanders?
Russo always taking either too much credit or credit for something he had nothing to do with.
You know what it is homie.
JR was lying. JR has been caught in a lot of revisionist history .
Russo pretty lays a claim to the whole attitude era
"Primetime" Deion Sanders? That's how Primetime Brian Lee got his name, I've never heard of the name Rock associated with Deion
Vince Russo i came up with air then I let everyone breathe 😂😂
Rip uncle rock
The rock is the G.O.A.T
So is your auntie
🤣🤣 Hannibal put Vince Russo first just to get the BS outta the way.
😂😂😂
Exactly
Damn I can't tell who looked worse shamrock or Venus ..
Come on Father Time is undefeated and if you are lucky you will get to grow older/old and who knows if he is dealing with an illness ....expecting people to look the same as they did 25/ 30 years ago is unrealistic
Shamrock also got punched in the face for a living before & after WWE
Val Venus for sure
To be honest....The Rock for me peaked at WM17, after that he kinda forget what made his character work. Once he came back, he was Dwayne pretending to be The Rock. Gone was the deep voice, the sideburns, the hair and the 500 dollar shirts.
That's when the fans started turning on him too.
Facts
hollywood rock was great
@@GorditoCrunch343 They turned on him because he went into movies.
With each year we got a new Rock which is what kept him fresh and never stale. 1996-2003 he went through several changes.
Everything I've seen is that Jim Ross told Rock to use the 3rd person thing.
I dunno why, but Rock's old man rubs me the wrong way every time. He just comes across as a know it all. He better be glad he had such am amazingly talented Son because i dont believe he makes the HOF without him
Yeah the Rock is a better human than most. A guy you can’t find anybody saying anything bad about, even silly shit like perceived rudeness because he was rushing somewhere. Gotta hate a guy like that.😁
Russo: I had just watched the movie the Crow and I had butt dialed Sting. We started talking and Crow Sting was born.
Russo: When we were developing the Kane character he didn’t originally have a mask. I knew he was missing something and I suggested the Mask. It made the whole gimmick.
Al Snow had the best theme music in the WWF/E in front of Billy Guns
What does everybody want? 😆 you aint never lie
Why does Vince Russo have to be the biggest bullshitting glory hog in the history of professional wrestling??
Ok Russo, you didn't want to disrespect Don Muraco?? puhleeezee. You've done nothing but disrespect the wrestling industry so I don't believe your bs for a second.
The main problem I have with the rock is how he would constantly comeback and win the title then drop it at the next ppv, then go to film another movie.
Summerslam 2002 is a perfect example.
And it happened many other times as well.
that’s the big reason why some of the fans started turning on him they were sick of it. And it also opened the door for many other part timers to do the same shit. I don’t respect the rock for that at all, he’s the one who started this whole part timer craze in the wwe where part timers just comeback and win the title and then leave.
I never knew The Rock had an uncle. I guess he never quite made it in wrestling.
Hé was known in Canada and Hawaii
They're other promotions than WWF/WWE
@@TheHannibalTV
The Dwayne Johnson is half Samoan and half Canadian (black)
Yes his uncle is the Wild Samoan, the Usos and Roman Reigns are all blood related
"Wrestlers Discuss Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson" (except Vince Russo, who talks about what *he* did). What a dick. One of the funniest, yet short - lived "promo wars" for me was when The Rock was giving somebody (can't remember who) heat for "...going to the WCW to wrestle guys named 'JUVENTUD!!'" Juvie really tried hard to answer with his own promo but failed miserably because his English was, unfortunately, too broken to make any sense.
Chris Jericho it was the alliance vs wwf time
Thank God for Vince Russo. Bro.
🤨
😂
“Seriously bro. I had this idea about Jesus healing people forever bro.”
So many people credit Rock and JR for his gimmick change.
Russo still full of shit.
"This is wrestling, it doesn't matter".
-Vince Russo
Jim ross said it was his idea for the rock to call himself that. I think Vince Russo is cap . 🧢
Vince Russo claiming he came up with 'The Rock' gimmick? What a shocker! 🙄😆
Al snow miss him!
So who really came up with THE ROCK gimmick??
Lol the apple don’t fall far from the tree it’s hereditary
LYING SACK OF CRAP SAID HE WASNT A WRESTLING FAN
To be a kid and be babysat by the Nasty Boyz would have been the greatest thing ever lol.
I don't care who helped the rock the rock took what was given to him and turned it in to greatness the best on the mic of 🎤ALLLLLLLLLL TIMES 😝IF YA SMEEEEELL WHAT THE ROCK🤨IS COOKIN
Should've been more L's in the name than E's other than that I agree
I would love McMahon to do an interview about Russo. I think it would be more how Cornette tells it(obviously without the venom) more then how Russo claims
Ohhhhh, shut the hell up Vince. Good Lord, can you stop? Move on dude. Just move on. It hurts.
Yes…it was all down to Road Dog.
Funny hearing his dad say that he wasn't a great worker lol. I have never seen this interview before, great job hannibal tv
The funny thing is, out of JR, Vince Russo, and Rocky Johnson, I believe Vince Russo. He’s the only one who doesn’t have any tells
Wat
When his lips move that’s a massive give away that he’s lying.
Probably right cos JR was still saying Maivia on commentary for a long time.
So does Vince Russo just take credit for everything? This guy is so full of crap.
Vince Russo is full of crap. If he suppose to be so brilliant how come when he was given carte blanche in WCW he completed fumbled. Where was all of his great ideas then? Oddities and Brawl for All those were the 2 biggest contributions Vince Russo made in his WWE stint.
@@1krani He had more say than he did in WWE and he was given a lot of say in WCW.
The Rock had great charisma and mic skills. But I would hate to be his waiter in a restaurant. I heard he's as cheap as they come.
Wtf what?
Russo finally admitted he was a kid and he came up to a big blonde man and said you should say your name is hulk Hogan and you have the biggest arms in world so Russo also invented wrestling it self.
Atlas is crazy the rock being destroyed I don't think so he's a man's man, if you try you will lose
Okay, even if people knew who Vince Russo was, who the f cares? It would be like the editor of a book you like. Do you get that Vince? I mean, do you?
I’d wager a bet that Raj Back
Ellen Degenerate
Maharajar
Alberto Del Taco
Advtgbgb Q123
Are all accounts from the same troll. Sounds like a very fulfilling life.
Rocky Johnson said he was benching 550... I doubt it. 550lbs seems like an exaggeration... I mean Doug Furnas best bench was 600lbs (when he was 275lbs and Rocky was only around 240) Furnas was a top powerlifter - considered one of the most dominant 275lb lifter in history (says it on his wiki) so it's hard to believe that Johnson was really benching that much.
Who was the guy rock bought a truck for? The Samoan gentleman
Meng. Also known as Haku.
@@rsingh8837 thank u brother
Haku is from Tonga and he also have a son in JPW
King Haku is Tongan, awesome heel and known as one of the kindest but baddest dudes.
Shitstain.....😂😂😂
Good GOD, Vince Russo loves himself too damn much.
So Russo, Ross, and his pops ALL gave him the idea of the Rock. hmmmmmm
Someone’s lying in this video 😂 seems like everyone was responsible for the start of the rock lol
I don't like Trump but The Rock has to become president to become the biggest crossover wrestling star.
Nah man. Rock wld probably make less money that way and he knows that too which is ironic really cos Trump probably thought he'd make more money after he became Prez 🤣
The Rock shld keep doing what he's doing.
Dwayne his most famous stint will be space jam the 3peat, and that is the bottom line because I say so, Stone dead stone cold. Because i am S Tony Malony.
Nough said.
Who belive vince russo😏
THE HANNIBAL TV #stevierayfootballmovie
Wtf lmao Russo now made the rock smh
