This clip frustrated me so much. Rock was trying to answer the question and Howard and Robin kept interrupting him.

Mark W it’s soo annoying. I thought it was going to be an interview. Probably because was the rock wasn’t big time back then
At no point did we get to hear why Vince gave it to the Rock. He was trying to go into it but they kept interrupting him.

It was a business decision. Vince made a lot of money off that name. Everyone knows that name is ubiquitous with the WWF/E. Vince essentially gets free marketing from it.

"AND I SAW YOO INDA MOOVIEEES"
Howard - asks question Rock - "well ... Robin - akjrjfbjdjsjehed Howard- jahdhhrhhhfhttbr Rock- 😐
damn let the guy answer the question before asking another question
If Vince owes a thank you to anyone it would be The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. They turned him and his company into a money making machine and a pop culture phenomenon. That’s why he did it.
Dwyane Johnson on Howard Stern - "I own The Rock name" John Cena on Howard Stern - It is my government name and Vince owns it. 😬
“Maybe you’re the new Schwarzenegger”.... 15+ years later and here we are and he is indeed the new Schwarzenegger. Also RIP to his dad that past away today. I’m glad he got to see him succeed way beyond what he could have imagined.
Vince McMahon allows Dwayne Johnson to use The Rock because he's wrestling royalty. It's a respect thing.
In the rundown Arnold had a small part in which he was passing the Rock and he said, "good luck". That was Arnold passing the torch.

j.k. 123 I think Vince was grateful for everything the Rock did and how much he helped the company by how popular he got and just wanted to repay him plus he knew the bigger the Rock is the more exposure WWE will get cause he’ll always have a connection with the company

Or he saw that Rock was going to be a major movie star and didn't want to piss him off. If things went bad between them, Rock wouldn't go back on Raw/Smackdown for special occasions
They wont let him finish the story, and Robin good lord....
Crazy how his confidence has grown in interviews!
I could feel that he was getting uncomfortable with that interview
And now he is on top of the movie industry. And he earned it thanks to his hard work ethic. The Rock is an inspiration in this world!
The Rock is awesome. So successful, so talented and so humble.
I dare you speak to the rock like that now😂
Literally felt like I just watched The Rock being interrogated by the FBI or somethin
And to think, John Cena doesn't even own his birth name
Vince is a true genius. Like him or hate him (and I am not a fan of American Hollywood Wrestling), he can see what the chess board will look like in not just six moves ahead but six years ahead of him. Maybe it wasn't obvious to everyone but I remember being five years old watching The Mummy Returns and thinking even then, The Rock was going to be a superstar. Vince has the ability to understand talent as much as Howard does.
I like how he pronounces Samoan correctly ❤️
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson = great work ethic. Big fan.
15 years later, and he’s on top of the world. Amazing journey.
The rock is literally the most humble celebrity there is
Dwayne Johnson looks just like the rock

1:18 *Oh, how'd ya get that - did ya have to fight him for it...* 😂😹🤣
He became the highest paid movie star.
Damn let the guy talk.
I don’t know why Howard doesn’t have a team for his KZread channel uploading full interviews. Howard has so much on what the celebs were doing and where they were in their career. Why upload a 3 min clip? I’d love to see this full interview. Same with other short clips i see from this channel
Let him speak!!!!
Rocke(Dwane)sir has done many struggles in his young age.Today he is big superstar .I salute u Rock Sir. I m Fan of Rock Sir.
Fast forward 2019.....highest paid actor in the world.
He doesn't take acting lessons...he wings it completely!
Howard has become better interviewer since then!
My only motivation to be famous is having an interview with Howard Stern.

I don’t see it happening. He has too many business ventures he’d have to divest from. Plus his routine of having at least 2 hours of downtime every morning to center himself wouldn’t work when he can be called to the Situation Room at a moment’s notice to handle a crisis on the other side of the world. But it would be interesting to see.

I love The Rock but I hope not. This country truly doesnt need any more "celebrity" presidents.
that's the rock that i remember.
I think this was the last time he was on Stern's show. It be pretty cool if he made another appearance. A LOT has changed since 2004.
He is so shy here!😃
Dwayne went into mcmahon’s office with his Samoan uces and nicely asked for the rights to his name
Love Dwayne Johnson Great guy. I love all his movies
Humble guy.
He did a good job keeping his cool which is how we all should be in life
They give him a hard time! He sounds humble.
That dude deserves every good thing coming to him.
Let the Rock talk!

vince probably owns Rocky Maivia, not The Rock which was just a nickname
If course he does. They also give him almost 100% creative freedom. While everybody else there is treated differently.
The ROCK SEEMED VERY HUMBLE.
He owns the rock name cause he was the biggest draw outside of Hogan& Austin its like a respect thing almost.
Can def tell he is related to the uso's . They resemble him alot. Back then rock even kinda looked like Roman reigns

I’m surprised Seth McFarlane hasn’t made a Family Guy bit on this lol.
What a humble guy
It will be better if The Rock was talking in third person like he does in wrestling
Damn how many times does he have to say that he owns the name...like damn lol
Howard nails it again lol King of all Media
Hopefully he comes on the JRE soon
You know how much the Rock did for Vince’s business? This isn’t some regular joe asking for something he’s not entitled to. Vince loves the Rock. He probably was all over the idea. Vince has a reputation for not giving a shit about his guys. But by all accounts it’s the opposite. If you actually bring something to the table, he’ll be very good to you.
15 years later The Rock is as big of a star as what Arnie was back in the day...if not bigger
Wow and more than a decade later he's the highest paid actor
Rock: I own my name. Don Muraco: Hold my beer.

Didn't know he had that awesome tattoo for so long.
I loved Jumanji but for some reason my favorite rock movie was snitch but walking tall was a close second
Highest paid actor in 2020, and only growing since Black Adam is otw. 🤣👏🏼
fuc yeah on him saying Rock wasn't telling the whole truth. I thought the exact same thing. And I thought the same thing at a point or two in the Vince McMahon interview...
The reason Vince gave his name to him is pure business purpose. Vince is a genius business man and he can smell it that the Rock will be big one and it will help wwe,by god Vince right after 10 years later. That’s call business Vince knows inside out.
2:24 "WEOW"
The Rock has made the WWE Tons of money the least Vince could do is let him own the Rock name. It’s a brand
And now he's the best paid actor in hollywood!! Congrats
He was always smart
Thats the Rock I know and Support 💪💪💪 ..Just a humble guy...I smell what the Rock is cookin! 💨👃

Get DJ on Howard now that would be awesome.

In most movies he’s in he keeps his tattoos without covering him up
Master brand builder. Absolute genius

I didn’t know The Rock was on Howard S Till now.
Not really surprising, Vince or the rock never owned that nick name. Dwayne had to ask someone if he can burrow the name
