The Rock could literally be doing an interview with a plank of wood and would still seem interested, humble and genuinely friendly. Seems like a great guy.

When Rock talks about wrestling he gets super serious. You can literally feel that was a great time in his life and he probably misses it a lot. Performing in front of thousands of people per wk live in attendance is probably a different shift than performing in front of millions on a screen

He brings it via satellite

Roman reigns, the rock, the usos, rikishi, Tamina, jimmy snuka, Yokozuna, the wild samoans, umaga, and Rosey are all related.

+Bill Goldberg they aren't but they're considered cousins in samoan heritage, they're pretty much family. Samoan heritage is much different than North American. Cousin is interpreted so many different ways in different cultures.

Holy shit Roman Reigns is The Rock's cousin? Damn I didn't know that. What a kick ass family he has.

One of the greatest of all time! Love and respect you so much Rocky! Thank you for the great memories!

This is an absolute gem of an interview man.

Roman Reigns doesn't just look like The Rock. it's the blood, they are cousins. I didn't know that until now, that explains. that blood line will never die.

Seth has good mic skills, he's a great wrestler, and he's a great heel and is good at being with the authority. Dean is as good as Roman at wrestling, but has best mic skills and best character.

The rock is a great wwe wrestler but I think it's about time he went out Big and proud because he has achieved so much with wwe

Chris, amazing interview man, great job.

Just started watching Chris Van Vliet's videos. This guy is just a great interviewer. well done guy.

I was surprised to hear about him having so many injuries. I knew about his first knee surgery, but four? Shoulder reconstruction, achilles reattachment, damn. I always thought Rock was lucky when it came to injuries because he never took any time off when he was wrestling full-time. Guess the business forgives nobody.

@biggains1

He properly diligent about the recovery and rehab and timing of his surgeries. If you are legitimately injured you just have to say so. The business doesnt force theses wrasslers, they force themselves for fear of losing their spot or opportunity/ies. Which I totally get, it's a dream job, and to even be on the roster at all is really difficult to get.

Rock vs.Cena 2 was the best match ever,Dwayne did a great job passing the torch to another great wrestler

The rock is awesome. He still has cousin and family present and the past

I want rocky back!

I like the fact that he showed respect to The Franchise... that's what's up!

The Rock always gives the great interviews

I really think Roman Reigns with a proper image change can make it huge! He may not be as good a technical wrestler as Daniel byrans, but he has the looks, the charisma and the demeanour that demands attention. If WWE doesn't utilise him to his fullest potential, it will be a lost for the company

Turns out The Rock didn't really retire, he's just on hiatus but still occasionally appeared. He appeared at WrestleMania 30 a year after this in 2014 with Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan but didn't wrestle, just cut a promo. Then showed up months later on RAW with Rusev and Lana, then returned at the Royal Rumble in 2015 to assist Roman Reigns (and got booed) then beat up Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at that year's WrestleMania with Ronda Rousey, then a year later was in a segment with Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family at WrestleMania 32 and had another match but it only lasted 5 seconds. He wasn't at this year's WrestleMania though for some reason.

Excellent !!!

His movies are good and do good in the box office. we really had no idea what we had when he was doing his thing during the attitude era. truly a one of a kind human being. he is greater then hulk, stone cold, he is the greatest.

The Rock seems like the most AWEsome guy. (+)

Roman and Rock really need to have a Match, at Least for Once as Cousins. ☝🏽Cousin Vs Cousin👆🏽

People need to understand once a wrestler puts in a good 6-10 years of solid wrestling around the world their bodies are pretty much done. Anything you get to see after that is just bonus time. Appreciate it

Can’t believe this was almost 8 years ago.

That Shane Douglas Franchise reference made me smile - I don't know that he gets the recognition and appreciation that he deserves for his ECW career. For those who may not have seen him but did see McMahon-Helmsley era Triple H, basically Triple H was the Shane Douglas of the WWF. Not only was Douglas' Franchise persona basically where The Game seemingly came from, Hunter even used his look - the leather jacket and leather flat cap worn backwards. Excellent top heel, great heat magnet.

The Rock looks like Amazo Android from Justice League.

I'm surprised he didn't mention the promo "this is your life" with Mick Foley. I thought that was his most memorable promo (by far), and it did record ratings.

The rock is the greatest superstar of all time there's no denying it. No drunk hillbilly, boy toy, super cena, or zombie man compare. They're's the cry babies saying Rocky left us for Hollywood, well grow up. Everyone of those movies are masterpieces I love and him being gone made you appreciate what you had. If wants to make movies he can, just like stone cold wants to retire and Brock lesnar wanted to go to UFC.
