Why does The Rock get credit for anything?
Seriously. What did he do that was so great?
Leach off the success of Stone Cold Steve Austin? Check. Use the same promo for his whole career but pretend it's different by adding a new catchphrase every couple months? Check. Cut calf holes in his boots? Check. Leave to film a movie every time his character started getting stale? Check. Pretend to love the business that made him, then leave it high and dry to benefit his own career? Check. They say the attitude era died when Rocky left the company. That's true. Because Rocky killed it. Discussion begins at post #2 (reply #1) ![]() |

If all it takes to be "great" in wrestling is a book of catchphrases and wiggling your eyebrow from time to time, I'm pretty sure I could be a wrestler.

Don't forget that eyebrow thing. He stole that from Iron Mike Sharp and modified it a bit as Sharp was actually known to lift both brows. At the same freakin' time.

The Rock got over by burying everyone and everything in his promos. It was the only way he knew how to get a reaction from the crowd. He made fun of people and buried their gimmicks. And of course the smart marks ate it up because he was being "edgy." He was a selfish prick and terrible for the business. End of story.

Remember when Mick Foley made the Rock look like a god at the Royal Rumble? The Rock never thanked him for that and never checked to see if Foley was ok after the match.

When he called Shane or Stephanie a 'silver-spooned mother fucker' live on RAW. Going into business for himself, looking out for himself at the expense of his own boss's family.

Austin/Rock/Foley/McMahon made the attitude era.
Throw in a little DX there too but not as much as the other 4 |

Secondary contribution like DX
If you ask me Foley's importance is huge He was Austin's first foe, He was Rock's fist foe and then towards the end of the era he was HHH first foe and he put them all over huge. |

Foley was a fucking king. I love that man. Way more important than The Rock, who was a nobody.

You give Scott Taylor a book of catchphrases during the attitude era and he's a 6 time WWF Champion within 3 weeks.

Jericho gets a pass because he can actually wrestle and cares about the business.
Rock was a no talent ass clown who cared only about himself. |

Very astute observation Jura. Since he can unclose and unmerge threads on his own, it wouldn't make an awful lot of sense to bother policing it now would it?
