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.
