10 WWE Moments Only The Rock Could Get Away With
7. Sing-A-Long With The Champ
Noted for having a rolodex of mottos so big he could probably cut an entire promo without veering away from his buzzwords, The Rock was the undisputed king of the catchphrase in an era heavy on mantras and soundbites.
Such was The Rock's immeasurable presence and timing, it's curious when watched out of context just how ludicrous the bulk of his verbiage is.
Whilst stood atop a truck in the famous 'beer bath' segment on Monday Night Raw, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin once decried 'The Great One' for "spinning his nursery rhymes", which quite aptly sums up the raft of rhythmical lunacy Rock describes when verbally taking down a foe.
Only The Rock could experiment with insults such as 'roody poo', threaten to 'layeth the smacketh down' or suggest which item somebody should 'turn sideways and stick straight up their candy-ass' and still maintain full credibility.
This is especially prevalent in 2017 WWE, where dialogue tends to either be powerfully real, or shamefully scripted, with little creativity in between.
Roman Reigns has suffered for this directly, with writers giving 'The Big Dog' this type of fluffy interplay when he's clearly less capable with it, allowing bombs involving 'Tater Tots' and 'Suffering Suckertash' to live long in infamy.
