10 WWE Moments Only The Rock Could Get Away With
3. Wearing Dress Shoes To Do The People's Elbow
Though 'The Great One' would rarely stumble physically or verbally when the red light was on, he stacked the odds against himself when he decided to drop a 'People's Elbow' on The British Bulldog whilst decked out in his refined evening wear.
Bored of his guest referee duties in a match between Davey Boy Smith and Triple H on a September 1999 edition of Smackdown, The Rock took out both men with 'The Game's WWE Title belt to forcibly conclude the contest, and with the Champion disposed, set the Challenger up for the 'People's Elbow'.
As if to exemplify how literal the phrase 'impossibly cool' really is with 'The Brahma Bull', Rock's shoes offered zero grip as he bounded off the ropes, but rather than slipping, he was able to control the skid into a luxurious gliding motion, reaching his target and dropping a perfect elbow.
As a single defining moment of exactly why he was 'The Most Electrifying Man In Sports-Entertainment', it was exquisite.
