When was The Rock at his best?
I'd say Corporate Rock when he feuded with Mick Foley and Stone Cold leading to Wrestlemania XV
I am not scared of the guy who's one big move is pumping up his reeboks!!! |

I would say he was at his best in his days as a face.
I would say right before/during/and after the Rock 'n' Sock Connection angle.

![]() I say Hollywood Rock. Never was a fan of him wrestling wise, when he came back in Feb 2003 I hated him with a passion, by the time April 2003 came around. I was sad he would be leaving once again (ugh and leaving by putting over Dumberg) ![]() |

I would say that Rock would without a doubt be at his best if he was full time now, because he was always improving....
but since he's not full time now, I can't see giving Hollywood Rock the vote for best. He's just all around badass though... I'll main event Wrestlemania! you see me you're outta luck..... You don't like what I'm saying? Well I just don't give a FUCK!!!! |

![]() ![]() Yeah sure, he was best then, with that ring attire. Back then I thought he was a stupid fool like Orton last year, where the whole angle is, "I'm so cool, my daddy was a wrassler too!". |

Hollywood Rock. I thought that the People's Champ Rock was great, but his "I'm a famous Hollywood celebrity now" attitude was addicting. I think I re-watched his first Rock Concert atleast 10 times. And his taunts in the ring were priceless. I loved when he would suplex someone and then sit there and applaud for himself, and when he would duck a clothesline and throw someone over the top rope and then laugh and point at his brain.
God I miss Hollywood Rock. (goes to watch No Way Out 03 vs. Hogan) |

Hollywood Rock was a heel I know, but goddamn he was made to look like a coward and a pussy.
I practically shook my head when he got scared of Goldberg. That's why I don't like Rock as a heel. Scared of Hogan too? **** that! He puts over others way too much to the point where it makes him look bad yet at the same time doesn't do much for the guy he's putting over (except maybe Hurricane) Him as a face is the best, and when he puts someone over as a face, it REALLY makes his heel opponent look good (Lesnar and soon Orton) unlike vice versa |

Soon Orton? What are you talking about? After Wrestlemania, Rocky is unfortunately gone probably. He's got at least 4 movies lined up that will keep him busy for the next couple of years probably. I don't think Rock is gonna be around long enough to actually get anyone over. He might make the occasional appearance like right now. But as much as I hate to admit it, he's not coming back anytime soon? |

I hope Foley is the one that puts Orton over, because I'd hate to see Rock lose credibility at a time where he needs to look good if he plans on having a successful acting career. Smarts know why he jobs. But the casual marks will see him constantly losing then they will think of him as a loser. Sad but true. He can't be always losing, because it will just make him look like "The People's Jobber" |

so in my opinion, he should only put people over as a face. If he puts someone over as a heel, it's pointless and hurts Rock's credibility

Rocky had his good points in every era. Nowadays he's got charisma shooting out of every pore. I loved it last monday when while beating down Evolution he starts to dance for a second then goes back to beating them down. Unfortunately everytime he comes back they have a new catch phrase for him. (Remember "Nice Lips"?) The people's champ saw his funniest promos, but the writers tried so badly to get him over that I couldn't help but hate the guy. My favorite, though, would have to be Corporate Rock. While everyone was chanting "Rocky Sucks" I was the one guy in the croud who yelled "Rocky doesn't suck!" when the arena got quiet. Sure he was an a**hole, but it didn't take a blind man to see that he was still good.

Corporate Rock by far, his best feuds were with Foley (Royal Rumble 99, Valentine's Day Massacre) and then his match at Wrestlemania XIV with Austin was great. He was such a cocky guy back then it was the best. People's Champ Rock gets so god damn old

I voted for "Corporate Rock." There was nothing better than watching the audience "sing along" with his catchphrases while he insisted them not to. Also, he used a lower voice which set him apart from the stereotypical wrestler who just yells alot.

People's champ did get a little stale after a long time, but the only reason that Corporate Rock didn't get stale was because it lasted for like 6 months maybe? Rock definately did his best stuff and stepped up during his time as People's Champ. |

I would say that the "Corporate" Rock is probably my fav. I think his feud with Foley was his best feud ever.

Hollywood Rock
Hes better as a heel imo. His segments where the best ever, anybody got any good downloads? Even his guitar songs were the best. "The Rock is bigger than Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks. But yet hes got to deal with these, long island scanks! He'll wip Austins ass you know, and thats the bottom line cuz The Rock said so!" Legend ![]() ![]() |

The Rock concert was also great... "Leaving Sacramento, Sacramento there I go, You've got fat ass woman and The Rock will just say no, But I'm sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in may!" more reasons why Rock is the greatest
