Better Wrestler #215 *Hall of Fame Round*

Agreed, those vids were enjoyable, and they also support the point I was making regarding these two competitors. There is a reason he's known as electrifying, his masterful skills on the mic, in that arena Rock is leaps and bounds beyond not only Eddie, but possibly everyone else. But watch the 2nd vid. Did Rock win? Yes. But he only looked so impressive because of his ability to overcome the assault by Eddie, if Rock had done the same exact moves to an average joe, it would be seen as a neat and clean match and nothing more.

Of course I don't wish to downplay the Rock's ability, as he well deserves the millions (and millions) of praise he's received, but I'm guessing the reason Rock Bottom posted the two vids was the showcase both mic and mat skills and in that regard, Rock did not impress me on both fronts.
