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

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.

If you smellllllllllllllllll what the Rock....(pause)........ is COOOOOOOOOOOKING

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

Awesome interviews. Awesome family and the Rock has a heart of gold. So sad to hear about his father's passing.

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.

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 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.

Shamrock was badly underrated in wwe

Pretty cool that both of his parents said gridiron gang were their favorites of theirs.

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.

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.

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.

With each year we got a new Rock which is what kept him fresh and never stale. 1996-2003 he went through several changes.

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.
