8. The Rock's 12 Days Of Christmas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rZIE07WZwY The Rock is, of course, one of the undisputed kings of the promo, being able to make gold out of even the seemingly insignificant encounters in his career. Take this night as an example where the Rock was faced with a match against Test. Some main eventers might have taken this as an opportunity to slack off a bit and do a more general promo, saving some of their better material for a bigger opponent. Not the Rock. Instead he delivered a Christmas themed promo in which he reimagined the 12 Days of Christmas to tell Test exactly what he could expect in their match that evening. You need look no further than this promo for evidence of the insane amount of control the Rock had over a live audience. The crowd hung on his every word and reacted accordingly when he got to, "Five seconds of the people, chanting the Rock's name." Here are the lyrics should you want to sing along at home with the family this Christmas: On the night Test faced the Great One, This is what he'll see: 12 Sharpshooters stinging, 11 Eyebrows raising, 10 Spines-a-busting, 9 Noggins knocking, 8 Kicks-a-kicking, 7 Punches punching, 6 Suplex smashing, 5 Seconds of the people chanting the Rocks name. 4 Rock Bottoms, 3 People Elbows on your 2 Buck teeth. And an ass-kicking all over New Orleans. Beautiful.
