[Mister Sinister]

Well, The man who help pull Wrestling into the Mainstream in the late 90's got the due he deserved as he scored a 93, which puts him, all by himself in Third Place, and knocking, Christian, Scott Hall, Jerry Lynn and Kanyon out of the Top 10 completely.

Today Wrestler, like Austin help lead the Wrestling industry in the Attitude Era, he is the self proclaimed most electricflying man in sports and Entertainment, The Rock....

Also, Today Poll features....Val Venis...Mordacai, "The Fallen Angel" Chris Daniels....and there were request for the Rock. but since he won yesterday poll, I'll replace it with Rocky Johnson, and finally my pick for the Poll to make it to 5 People....The Sandman

[Mayo]

Amazing on the mic, great at playing to the crowd, not the best in the ring but his matches are always exciting. I almost want to let my markish side give him a 10, but I'll restrict myself :p

9.7

[Azriel]

9.6 Needed to be a bit better on the wrestling, but the mic work more than compensates.

[John la Rock]

10

My all time favorite wrestler. Noboddy can cut a promo better then him, he has more charisma in his pinky finger than 99.9 % of the roster, he's great in the ring (and very underrated, remember folks he's one of the few wrestlers who wrestled in an "Iron Man Match"), He, along with Austin, was the biggest stars in the Attitdue era, and he is massively over as an actor in Hollywood.

IF YA SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!!!!

[Gouda]

:foc: Austin for pushing all those people out of the top ten. If only I had voted... I could have brought his score down. :shifty: I hate Austin.

Anyways... The Rock.

Ring ability: 8
Overness: 10
Work rate: 9

Finisher: 8.5 (Loses points for The People's Elbow. It's one of those moves that everytime I see it I go "Just move out of the damn way! :mad: ")
Mic skill: 10 (Always a treat)
Memories/Potential: 10 (I have good memories of The Rock... and if is movie career somehow flops... he's still young and could easily make a return to the main event picture)

Overall: 9

[BigDaddyCool]

I enjoy his moves more than his matches. But he was one funny wrestler. I loved that one people's elbow he did in the dress shoes, and he slid on them before dropping his "bow."

10, again, go to hell A.J. Styles.

[Loose Cannon]

lol

BDC's "Go to hell AJ Styles" is like Foley's cheap pops.

i blame him for a school full of idiots, saying "it doesn't matter" this and that, and i blame him for falling for the "what's your name" trick and getting slapped everywhere i went a few years ago, i also blame him for people asking me if i have jelly donoughts and having no idea what the hell they were talking about, or why they told me to take the jelly out and shove it up my ass

long story short, i give him a 0

[What Would Kevin Do?]

9.9

The only downfall of the Rock is that he isn't the best in ring wise. I really wanted to dock him more for it, except while he may not be the best, he's entertaining. The Rock could have a match with very little wrestling skill in it, and he could still make it a great match just with his aura. He has a way of shining shit that I've rarely seen.

I held up a "Rocky sucks!" sign when he was a face.

[Mr. Nerfect]

8. He's entertaining, loves the business, and is one of the few guys who I really think can actually "draw". I still see him as one of the WWE's greatest assets. If he returned to the WWE full-time, I think we'd have a better overall product on RAW and SmackDown!.

As far as wrestling skills go, he's not the best, but his effort really shows. He sells offense well, and always makes the other guy look credible.

[LK]

9 - Not the greatest wrestler but his matches told a story and he is the best in the world on the mic.

[Thriller]

I give him a 7.Hes entertaining on the micac and all but his wrestling skills arent the greatest plus the fact that hes constantally leaves to hollywood causes him to lose points in my opinion.

[Rock Bottom]

Haha, mic skill 7. Who has a 10, asphyXy?

[Aussie Skier]

Ring ability: 8.5 - nothing spectactular, but had some gereat matches
Overness: 10
Charisma/mic skill: 10
Finisher: 8 The rock bottom is ok. But i think the rock bottom should be like softening the oponent of before doingthe ppl's elbow. altho its not a great move, the is wrestling, and it is fake!
entrance: 10 - love the pop for "if you smellllllllllllll........ what the rock is cooking"

Overall: 9.3

Wow, equal to my rating of stone cold!

Next pool should be: "if you can smell, what the book, is cooking!" (aka booker T)_

[Hardkore Kidd J]

10. :y: What can I say great ringwork great on the mic. I loved how he would always be top notch with his mic skills and jokes. And I loved that whole Concert thing he did when he was a heel :lol:

[KayfabeMan]

Crap in wrestling ability. Pulls spots left and right, and only has half way decent mic work to fall back on. The writers did wonders for him, and he still proves he's stale when he has to improvise anything. My score for "The Rock" is a 5 (being nice).

Final Rating: 5

[El Santo]

9.4, if you smell what the Rock is cooking.

Reason: Equal to Stone Cold Steve Austin + 0.1 for personal reasons

What can I say about the Rock that hasn't been said? He's the guy who got me to watch wrestling again. Most of the time, whenever he was on TV, I was totally riveted. While he was not a wrestling technician like Benoit or Jericho, I cannot say in my mind that I ever saw a Rock match where I was not entertained.

There's also a personal reason.

I'm not a Caucasian person; I'm a Pacific Islander. So when the Rock hit the main event of the WWF, it was like someone was the most recognized person in wrestling, was a household name, and --- by God --- he was the same skin color as me! (Maybe he's a scosh darker, but around that range.) I wasn't alone, either. I know people who are Hispanics or Asian Indian who looked up to the Rock as their idol. It was as if, deep down inside, all of us knew that we could be as cut or as bombastic or as fun as The Rock.

A true "People's Champion".

Also, imitating the Rock's voice or mannerisms are great for party tricks. :)

what the fuck? don't count this shit :mad:

[Eunos]

8.5

IMHO.. Rocks only let down is his Wrestling feels abit basic.

Apart from that the Rock is cool :)

If theres still room in the poll Let's add Batista.. His the only member off Evolution not to have been rated (Im including Randy since he was a member once)

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Now I'm curious, who has better mic skills than The Rock. I honestly can't think of someone who is more entertaining on the mic. Jericho is up their, but he's missing something that The Rock has.

BTW, my favorite Rock line " WHOA?! Don't cheer that. What the hell is wrong with you people? Yay. He said San Fransisco, that's where I'm from... YAY!" Not an exact quote, but it should jog your memory.......

I love the Rock, but the guy justifies his rating and that's his opinion. Don't worry, it's probably not going to affect the rating that much.

He's got a point.Rock's improvised stuff isn't so great. Hell, Austin improved that whole "my watch is talking to me" thing with RVD in 2001 and it was great. And I like The Rock better than Austin.
