Rank a Wrestler #23 - The Rock
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.

Jimmy Cones' True Pure Average Rank a Wrestler Rankings Spreadsheet.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
