10 Most Notorious Christian Urban Legends

8. He Was Supposed To Feud With The Rock In 2003

http://youtu.be/OzJkyn9TBiQ Story: Following the 2002 draft where WWE split the roster in two, Christian became a regular on the Raw brand. He had wrestled as a singles wrestler for about a year before that. In early 2003, he started to get involved in backstage segments with The Rock. The most famous one involved a pep talk by The Rock. This segment was from the April 7, 2003 edition of Raw. Christian asked Rock to sign his Scorpion King DVD and then Rock fired back at him. Rock said that Christian didn't seize the moment. He told him he was a talented cat, but that he didn't take advantage of the opportunities. That segment created a buzz because people felt like it was as if Rock was speaking on behalf of management that wanted Christian to be better at his job. There's no way of knowing for sure. There were also rumors that maybe they were done to set up a feud between them to elevate one of them. It didn't happen because The Rock ended up leaving WWE as a regular after losing to Goldberg at Backlash in April 2003. Why People Believe It: They were in several segments together. Usually that means something, so people thought maybe they would have a feud. Should We Believe It: No. It was a hope more than anything. Since they were both heels it just felt like something to do backstage that was entertaining. It did help Christian to be associated with The Rock at least in a small way.
