WWE Champion The Rock: His 10 Best Matches

6. The Rock vs Brock Lesnar - SummerSlam 2002

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHtqOnoc2WQ Probably the most mature performance ever seen from The Rock as he had to endure a hostile crowd and help a very inexperienced Brock Lesnar to deliver a spectacular main event to the superb Summerslam 2002 pay per view. The two men had wonderful chemistry together and constructed an epic battle that felt every inch like a true clash of the titans. I cannot emphasise enough how much credit Rock deserves for this and what a great display of maturity and skill as a worker he demonstrated. The exciting and dynamic finishing sequence was the perfect ending to a truly masterful performance.

5. The Rock vs Kurt Angle - No Way Out 2001

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73F3jYs5CKQ Arguably the best pure wrestling match The Rock ever had with arguably the best pure wrestler this industry has ever seen. This is a brilliant showing for The Rock as he is able to match Angle's pace move for move (no mean feat) and even impose his style on the match enabling the contest to have a collaborative feel that adds to its delivery. Angle is predictably flawless and Rock is every inch the main event superstar in this utterly mesmerising contest. For me this as close to perfect as wrestling gets, if you haven't seen this you really really should, you won't be disappointed.
