WWE: Ranking The Rock's 10 WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best
10. WrestleMania13 vs. The Sultan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoxmEiNLM1c It pained me to have to watch this match again because it was so bad. It was the first WrestleMania for The Rock, who was going by the name Rocky Maivia at this point, which was his name in his early babyface run that didn't work out well for him. Who was The Sultan? Rikishi. This was before he finally got over as a big star in the Rikishi Fatu gimmick as the dancing fat guy. He was mentioned by WWE Hall of Famers The Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund because the idea was that The Sultan couldn't speak English. He had a mask to cover his face, so some fans probably didn't know who it was. There was some interference during the finish with Sultan's managers jumping on the apron and The Rock was able to kick out of a piledriver. The Rock rolled him up for the win in a match that went about 10 minutes. Post match, Rock's dad Rocky Johnson saved Rock from a beating the two Rocky's celebrated to end it. The good thing is that The Rock got better. While he isn't the best worker ever or anything like that, he did work hard and there were several matches that are better than this.
