In one of the most high-profile debuts in WWE history, an out-of-nowhere “Blue-Chipper” named Rocky Maivia skipped to the ring in New York City’s Madison Square Garden and became the Sole Survivor of his very first match, to the delight of the audience assembled for Survivor Series 1996. A change in fan sentiment would force Rock to abandon the goo...
The Rock often asks his opposition if they can “smell it.” Odds are, Erick Rowan didn’t have time to. Being interrupted by The Wyatt Family during his historic announcement that WrestleMania 32 had drawn over 100,000 people in attendance at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment proved he was always ready f...
Returning to MSG for the biggest match of his career since the Survivor Series contest, The Great One — now fully immersed in his new persona — once again came up huge, upending Big Show to earn his first-ever Royal Rumble Match victory. True, there were some whisperings that Big Show was never actually eliminated, but the record book shows The Roc...
Don’t call it a comeback. Following his monumental defeat of John Cena at WrestleMania XXVIII, the only thing that made sense for The Rock was to refocus his attention back onto the WWE Championship, and its record-setting bearer of 434 days, CM Punk. Held at Royal Rumble 2013, the title contest was back and forth and multi-layered, including inter...
On March 18, 2000, at the height of the Attitude Era, The Rock reached across the aisle to mainstream entertainment, hosting Saturday Night Live for the very first time. Surprise, surprise, he crushed it. Not only did Rock go on to conquer every aspect of entertainment, but the mental image of The Great One in that “Ladies Man” sketch lingers to th...
In the biggest calculated risk of Mr. McMahon’s life, he put the control of WWE on the line against Shane and Stephanie McMahon’s Alliance at Survivor Series 2001, in a massive Winner-Take-All Traditional Survivor Series Match. Who would Mr. McMahon select to captain the squad in the most pressure-filled night in company history? Yup, The Great One...
After his hotshot debut, the WWE Universe cooled to Rocky Maivia, to the point that they demanded “Die Rocky Die” for months. So, he obliged them. After returning from an injury, “The Blue Chipper” did a complete 180, to the point where he joined The Nation of Domination, degraded the fans and, ultimately, denounced his name on live television. The...
Unlike Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels’ inaugural WWE 60-Minute Iron Man Match —a tactical and strategic contest in ’96 — The Great One and Triple H went full bore at Judgment Day 2000. The two exchanged pinfalls and submissions back and forth at a furious pace until the closing moments when, due to some outside foul play, Michaels (who was the guest ...
Most people know of The Great One’s days as a trash-talking fan-favorite, or his current status as a wholesome movie star. However, when the chips were down, The Brahma Bull showed his horns at Royal Rumble 1999 by brutalizing Mick Foley in an “I Quit” Match, to the tune of too many swings with a steel chair to count. That he robbed a fan favorite ...
In the summer of 1999, then-King of the Ring winner Billy Gunn would incite a rivalry with The Rock. Bad, bad idea for Mr. Gunn. One night in particular on Sunday Night Heat, The Rock would just totally lambast the incumbent King, “imitating” Gunn praying to God for tips on how to defeat The Great One. The result was one of the greatest moments in ...
