8 Times The Rock Proved He CAN Cut A Bad Promo

5. The Rock Vs. New Day

Ooooh, he said "penises!" Ain't he somethin'? Everything about this promo so badly tried to portray that this was the old, cocksure Rock who's got jokes upon jokes, but instead just made him sound like the old, out-of-touch uncle trying to josh around with his nephews.

The fact is, it's getting harder and harder to watch The Great One have a battle of wits with the young talent, because the rust so frequently gets in the way.

And although he's probably tired of hearing this criticism lobbed in his direction, it's become increasingly obvious that Dwayne Johnson simply doesn't understand the WWE audience as well as he used to. He's not there enough to develop any sort of consistency with his character, and his tremendously short spurts in front of the crowd aren't doing him any favors when it comes to getting inside their heads.

The Rock doesn't cut promos much these days. Now he just spews a collection of rough jokes and "dirty" words.
