10 Craziest Things That Ever Happened After WWE Raw Went Off The Air
10. Canada Rocks
The Rock's celebrated 2003 heel run was one of the lone highlights of Monday Night Raw during a particularly barren spell for the red brand, with a particular Toronto promo up there as a career-high. For the live crowd only, he provided an end-of-the-night rant that rivalled his spectacular opening salvo.
Last eliminated by Battle Royal winner Booker T in the evening's main event, Rock called him back for a Spinaroonie contest after lipping off the crowd a little more. Peppering the act with killer lines and a pretty decent version of Booker's daft signature move, 'The People's Champion' was in phenomenal form. The crowd were in hysterics for 'The Great One', clearly having the time of his life performing as a 'Hollywood' cartoon villain. "You don't boo The Rock all night then shout 'People's Champ People's Champ' afterwards...go home" and "Nothing up The Rock's sleeve, I ain't got no shirt on" were just two choice moments from yet another side-splitting speech.
And his post-show diatribe wasn't the only bookend. Rock took his re-purposed Rock Bottom from the WrestleMania 19 Number One contender, doing more off-camera for the former Harlem Heat star than Triple H at the 'Show Of Shows' itself.
