Rank a Wrestler #23 - The Rock

[Jimmy Cones]

The Rock

Did the Rock ride the waves of what Stone Cold created? Yes perhaps. But Honestly I don't think that anyone has ever, yes ever, been as good on the mic as the Rock. One promo could get him over as a heel or a face. As far as his in ring is concerned: no he wasn't the best, but he played his character well with the way he wrestled. He also had ridiculously awesome timing with when he hit moves and how he sold them. I'm still trying to decide between a 9 and a 10 here.

I'm quite surprised that Randy savage busted into #2 and #3 for the pure and Jimmy Cones' averages respectively.

[Kane Knight]

Can't help but give him a 10. Without the Rock, the Attitude Era would have been severely less impactful.

[Providence Peep]

I don't think there will ever be a bigger and more important match than Hogan vs. The Rock, and that alone is proof that The Rock deserves a 10. No one has ever had the type of charisma The Rock had in the WWE, and I really would like to see him return for one more match.

[Sixx]

10, easily.

[Attitude99]

The Greatest Entertainer in The Wrestling Business, Nobody touches him on the mic. A Big 10

[4 knuckles up]

10. Great in the ring, the absolute best on the mic. Along with SCSA, Perfect examples of the complete package, in my opinion.

[Rammsteinmad]

9.

[teamXtremist]

9 not the most technically gifted but we all know what he could do on the mic

[XCaliber]

The best of all time therefore I give him a high 9 cuz like I said before nobody is a 10 nobody!

[RiX1024]

10 out of 10, being biased that he was my favourite wrestler growing up, always look up to the guy (i am 5ft 10ins), great wrestler, amazing charisma, can cut an awesome promo, funny as fck, was the reason i watch WWE when i was 12.

[bigslimjj]

A 9 for his lack of wrestling skills,and his pineapple head haircut.

[dhellova guy]

8. Loved him and his promos, wrestling ability was good enough, but he did the absolute worst sharpshooter I have every seen. Ever. EVER!!!

Still, hes one of my faves.

[Volare]

Two words, Hollywood Rock. 10

[BigCrippyZ]

9 - His mic skills/entertainment values bring up his ranking for me and enable me to overlook some of his in ring faults.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

10 from me, always entertaining was The Rock.

[Waylander]

As somebody else said, and in short, the total package. I gave him a 10.

[Nicky Fives]

I feel as though I give out too many 10's...... but Rock is still getting one.....

[Tazz Dan]

I think him and Austin were on level grounds. I gave SCSA a 9 so Rock gets the same.

[Executioner]

Two words, Hollywood Rock. 10

[rated rjo]

He's "The Great One" for a reason. 10... no question.

[DAMN iNATOR]

11, no doubt about it.

Also:

Quite possibly one of the greatest themes in the history of the business.:y::yes::heart::love:

[KYR]

Why does this only go up to 10????

[Dave Youell]

8 he's no Kevin Nash.

Seriously though, people forget the hatred the man used to get on the net for only having 5 moves, ironically, something pretty much all guys on wwe are guilty of right now.

He was limited in his overal wrestling ability, but that didn't take away from the fact that he was very entertaining, but wasn't a complete total package.

[Jura]

Dean Malenko had like a thousand moves but even if he had charisma and could talk, I'm sure he'd still be not as good as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

[Jimmy Cones]

clothesline, overhead belly to belly, spit in the hand punch, people's elbow, ddt, rock bottom, spine buster, swinging neck breaker, world's worst sharpshooter, samoan drop

10 off the top of my head... I totally didn't look any up... :shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nine for bowing out of his WWE career a little bit early.

[Snowden]

10 - The greatest man to ever grace a mic. Say what you will about his ring work, but I was always entertained.

[The Gold Standard]
