10 Best Rock 'N' Sock Connection WWE Moments
4. Mankind Steals Catchphrases
Part of the kayfabe issues between the tag team that led up to their eventual split was not just how different the two of them were but a lot of (usually well-intentioned) things that Mankind did that seemed to annoy The Rock.
Some of the most entertaining examples of this are when Mankind began to "borrow", interrupt or otherwise step on the toes of The Rock's famous catchphrases.
He would cut him off at key moments, jump on with his own little takes on it or just straight up start doing his own versions of many of The Rock's signature phrases and it was made very clear in backstage segments and the ring just how much this annoyed him.
The fact that these often got over huge with the audience and popped the crowd seemed to infuriate The Rock even more. Mankind's awkward delivery, deliberately terrible timing and his general inability to realise how much he was annoying his tag partner made for a great watch.
The single best moment of Mankind's buffoonery was yet to come and was the final straw that caused the tag team to break up, but that deserves its very own entry...
