@@DistrictKCI agree, different styles but the raw energy was there. The crowd felt it and everyone was waiting in anticipation to what he was going to do next. The best era in wrestling that will never be matched.
The rock with the most creative shit, talking and wrestler history in my personal opinion. He just come off with so much crazy silly stuff on the top of his head.
I am sure most were written just like movies and TV. But he improvises well and on the spot. I modeled professionally for 10 years know a lot of directors, writers, etc, and have been around the industry for over 15 years. You can tell when someone is off-script and improvising. But yes, McMahon is a genius and Russo is an incredible writer....
The fact that The Rock could’ve been by himself and still would’ve gotten this segment over is obvious! The fact that HBK is right by his side literally dying laughing at (sorry Brett) The Hitman’s catchphrase (along with Ric, Mach, and Hogan) makes this one of Rock and HBK best promos ever because of the trolling and real time reactions! Pure Gold
I thought I heard something about Michaels disrespecting Rock's mom or grandma or something to that affect, but I could be thinking of someone else. Shawn got away with a lot back in those days, but fucking with the Fatu family could be bad for your career and your health.
@@Lee-rt6txDefinitely not. You could say Austin’s run was shorter than it could’ve been because of injuries. If anyone called Rock the GOAT nobody should feasibly bat an eyelash. Rock, Austin, and Hogan are the holy trinity of 3 most important wrestlers in the history of the business.
Mann, I remember having this downloaded on my windows 95 computer. "The Rock Forgot His Line" file. This used to crack me up as a kid all the damn time! This is the first time actually seeing the video.
This is one of the maim reasons why there hasnt been anything close to being as good as that Attitude Era... NOBODY sounds as good on the mic as those guys did then
When he did the "I am the best there is the best- no that ain't it. That's for damn sure aint it." Shawn Michael's reaction was priceless. He damn near lost it with that one. 😂😂
And after 20+ years later it's still the most electrifying line in sports entertainment and The Rock is still the most electrifying man on sports entertainment.
And to think HBK couldn't stand the rock and tried to bury him to the point where he had to apologize to him when he returned due to sabotaging his IC run
@@T.Gizzle89People who are very successful often become jealous of a new rising star. They feel like their spot could be in jeopardy. Idk if it was confirmed or not but the rumor is that Shawn and others was secretly trying to ruin The Rock’s push. There’s a rumor that he was saying disrespectful things about The Rock’s grandmother. It is definitely possible that HBK was a jealous hater. He made a career of being one.

@@Nicolas-sq9wnNot that I am agreeing that Rock is better than Ali at trash talk, but do you have evidence to back up your statement about Rock having writers write his promo work?
@@ariesarethebest271 A little Google search and you should find, look for Brian Gewirtz for example, Tommy Blacha making apologies to Conan O'Brien for giving one of his catchphrase to the Rock when he left his show to go to WWE.

God if they could have just had one HBK Vs. The Rock match during the attitude era, I could lay in rest and say I possibly have witnessed every dream match in my history of pro wrestling fandom. The promos of late 90s Shawn Michaels vs the late 90s Rock would be iconic. Shawn Michael's and Bret Hart's real life feud was one of the most real life fascinating pro wrestling stories of all time, which makes Shawn's real life reaction so memorable to this day during this promo. Shawn Michaels Vs. The Rock would have been a dream match for years to come for many years after, but now it feels just too late. I think Shawn Michaels and The Rock could probably still have a great match and promos. You'd have to see their lifetime of a build to their whole story to be the one last dream match from the attitude era that never happened.
Yes he did. The Great One said he wanted to work with Shawn & Rey Mysterio when he inducted his father into the HOF. Not working with Shawn has always bothered The Rock.
@@brandonwilson4175I think u need to Brush up on your Facts! Read up on it!! The Rock didn't what do a storyline with Shawn Michaels because how Shawn disrespected the rock's grandmother. Y do u think they never wrestle each other, or even had a tag team with or against each other? And damn sure never bothered him!
Even with someone pointing a lazer across his face the rock was unfazed and still delivered one of the most hilarious segments especially with hbk's reactions which made it even funnier.😂😂😂

very underrated skill to have.. you gotta stay in character

They had great chemistry and elevated each other!
Hunter trying to take the piss outta the rock but to no success. Sorry Hunter you’re not that good. Your mic skills were above average at best.
A few years later Triple H interrupts The Rock and we get the best “shut up bitch!” ever.

It was personal between shawn and bret😂

Why you say that 😂😂😂
What a way to pay homage to the OG’s
Wasn't a homage. He was burying the competition's stars.
Yep, he sure was. This had to be in between 99 and 00
I mean between 98 and 2000
HBK was just moving his lips without actually saying the rocks line 😅😅😅.
This was actually 5 promos all rolled into one, by The Great One👍

"Dont worry yours is no better" 👹
Was that Jericho or HHH?
Triple H's cracked voice
Every time he says "IF YOU SMEEEEEELLLLL....." I automatically think of the first time he said it with a higher voice
The Rock quoting all former world champions too funny and Bret Harts quote Shawn Michaels look was like Bret for damn sure ain't better than me
HHH-don't worry yours is no better😂😂😂
Why this doesn’t have alot more likes 😂😂😂 Dammnn!!!!
Just a shame that “shut up bitch!” had to wait a few years 😂
This is what actually made me LOL 😂😂😂
HHh would respond to the Macho Man bc Randy got dips on Stephanie
Why did Triple H sound like a pirate when he said that?
I'm glad WWE banned the laser pointers.
Shit had to be annoying af
Everyone who had one back then should have been banned for life lol
It would have been kind of difficult to ban half of the arena or so! @@m4st0rnoob-10

One of those rare instances where Shawn and Rock interacted and were on the same side. Shawn just makes everything Rock says even funnier haha
Damn it's such a rare moment that I forgot that even happened. What a shame we never got Rock vs HBK
@@Bestow3000 Agreed. Two of the greatest going at it in their prime. Maybe had HBK not gotten injured since that's when Rock starting becoming a star

Very close
And there hasn't been a star since Cena

No one got over more in the '90s in the rock

The Rock is always the best on the 🎤
that "Wooo!!" was on point tho 🔥👏
Rock roasting is at different level 😂
Shawn laughing at that Bret hart diss is life 😂😂
One word: CLASSIC!!
Nice to see chad frost and the rock together!
Shawns reaction to the Bret line and his face coming in and then out of camera view is perfect
The rock had me laughing 😂
It funny, cause is actually a homage to the legends before!
The good ole days😌
This was lit before lit! 😂😂😂
You know Shawn was gonna laugh at the Bret one because he screwed Brest at Survivor Series the year before
And because he knows Bret was never the best anything Shawn was always better then him

One of the best rock's promos in wwf
The rock was the one guy Shawn and triple h couldn't bury
hbk legend
Two most handsome pro wrestlers 😎

It's just so ironic how time goes by..... it seems like yesterday watching this on Monday Night Raw .....WOW ! LIFE IS SO SHORT ! 💯👍🏼
One of the very best at promo's just off that u could see he is a very good actor 💯💯🆒🆒🔥🔥😎😎
And after 20+ years later it's still the most electrifying line in sports entertainment and The Rock is still the most electrifying man on sports entertainment.
The Rock pay homage to the great wrestler that respect
The best talker in WWE: The Rock
The best talker in Boxing: Muhammad Ali
One of my favorite lines of hilariousness
Absolutely an ICON! YOU can see how he took over Hollywood 😂
It sucks that we never got the opportunity to get a match between Rock vs Shawn
And to think HBK couldn't stand the rock and tried to bury him to the point where he had to apologize to him when he returned due to sabotaging his IC run
All of those catch phrases were exceptional. Wrestling in the 90s and 00s added so much to pop culture!
The rock is a boss because he owns all of his catchphrases which is pretty cool
I was about 30 feet away from them in the crowd. Awesome.
Awesome
Another great promo that made people love him before he became the face of the company
