10 Funniest WWE Double Acts Of All Time
1. The Rock N' Sock Connection
Dwayne Johnson and Mick Foley are now two undisputed icons in the wrestling industry, and in 1999, they were both nearing the height of their popularity. It was the perfect time to form one of the most unlikely tag teams WWE has ever seen: the so-called Rock 'N' Sock Connection.
It was a classic odd couple pairing that found the whimsical and slightly deranged Mankind desperately trying to win over the affections of his new teammate (who rarely gave him the kudos he craved). Rock was the ornery straight man, Mankind was the overzealous numskull. It was a match made in sports entertainment heaven.
No other duo on this list has quite the spectacular comedic timing that Johnson and Foley did, and you could tell they were having the time of their lives performing together.
Foley's "This Is Your Life" retrospective for The Rock -- which included trips down memory lane with actors playing his former girlfriend, high school football coach, and home economics teacher -- became the highest-rated segment in Raw history. Think about that. A goofy comedy routine that ran for more than 20 minutes ended up being the most-watched portion of a television program that once had Mike Tyson and Stone Cold Steve Austin try to beat the hell out of each other in the middle of the ring.
