Question

Am I alone in thinking the Rock was getting stale before he left the WWE?

Answer 1

i though he was stale in the wresltemania 20 i think where rock ~n~ sock was facing evolution (randy orton,batista,ric flair) and rock and sock lost so yea your not alone.

Answer 2

The bakery jokes about pies, poptarts, donuts, strudel were getting tiresome.....good thing he knew his role and left for better scripts, directors, producers.

Answer 3

The Rock looked really unintrested during his match at WM 20 and yes I agree with you. He was getting stale.

Answer 4

No, I think you're right. The Rock and Stone Cold were the kings of the attitude era, and when the attitude era died, unfortunately their push gradually died with it.

Answer 5

His late heel run was hilarious.

"FIN-ALLY The Rock has COME BACK to Toron... Toron... TORON his mouth on ALL your candy @$$es!"

"More importantly than that, The Rock said he wanted to come right here to Toronto, Canada!... YAY! HOORAY! He said Toronto! YAY! That's where we live! YAY! We live in Toronto! SHUT UP!"

"Last year, WrestleMania, 68,000 strong, 68,000 of you mother Canuckers booing The Rock out of the building!"

"...the best thing to hit Canada 'cuz the Maple Leafs suck!"

"No, wait, The Rock knows who you are. Green suit, mask, "H" on your chest. You're the Hamburglar!"

"Sacramento, I won't stay... but I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May!"

And I'm sure this one was as a face, but maybe the funniest Rock moment ever...

"Happy birthday to Steph! You're a ho with big b*****s! So take the night off from hookin'... IF YA' SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN'!"

Answer 6

Hmm...

The Rock was a great entertainer until the year 2002, when he became stale and started the same routine over and over again. His backstage segments were all the same. He'd rip in to Coach or who ever else was interviewing him.

I think that was the reason for that heel turn in 2003 which worked brilliantly. It was fresh, and the people absolutely loved him even though he was a complete jackass LOL. But I do see where you're coming from.

Answer 7

not really. only that one last match, but the guy didnt wrestle in nearly a yr prior. but i think the rock is wrong for walkn out of the wrestling buisness like he did.
