Rock vs Hogan WM 18 was the his iconic one of course
Rock vs Cripple H Summerslam 98
Rock vs Cripple H Fully Loaded 98
Rock vs Shamrock Rumble 98
Rock vs Cripple H Fully Loaded 99
Rock vs Austin WM 19
Rock vs Lance Storm
Rock vs Test end of 2001 Smackdown
Rock vs Hogan II
Rock vs Goldberg
Rock vs Jeff Hardy two weeks before Backlash 03
Rock vs Hurricane
Rock vs Rikishi Survivor Series 2000
Rock vs John Cena WM 28...Cena was botching and throwing phantom punches. Not bumping correctly. Looked lazy as fukk. Continuing his goofy streak from WM 27 against Miz except he didn't trip over running the ropes this time. At one point in the beginning, Rock was halfway waiting for Cena to counter but Rock said fukk it and just gave him a Smackdown punch that knocked Cena on his ass. LOL.


You consider all of those classic?

Rock carried John Cena? :camby:



Dawg I thought you were joking when you told me some of these old flabbynsick, stuck back in the day SOHH posters hold this weirdo in high regard. :dead:




How does a damn thread asking his fans to prove he is a good wrestler correlate to me trying to be a retards "opponent" :laff:

Kind Gentleman is easily @R=G weakest opponent

Where are @krackdagawd and @Tommy Fits, they were doing five star classics with ol' Magneto. KG needs polish

Sorry sorry I didn't see this thread until the end of work and I'm just getting home.

LMAO @ Rock carrying HHH and I may even lose my kliq privileges but I don't even care for HHH. Carrying Hogan at WM18 ??? Toronto carried that match. C'mon cats mentioning random Raw matches because when it mattered the most the Rock had to be carried word to Mic Foley's skull. He carried Austin at 19 ? Austin got an awesome pop driving a zamboni and awesome heat by saying one word. Austin could carry a match if he was a quadriplegic just based off the fact he was Austin. But a guy that applies a sharpshooter like a severely retarded blind child would apply it, he carried Austin, GTFOH. The Rock has never had a classic where he had to do the heavy lifting, AT BEST the Rock's participation in his classics was 50/50 and that's be generous.

Lesnar was essentially months out of wrestling school when he faced Rock at SS 02

And Brock was already more exciting to watch than Rock. :ehh:




All of that athleticism and Dwayne could never translate it into a watchable wrestling style. Shake leg kick, open side fist punch, somoan drop, peoples elbow(worst finisher ever), and rock bottom(most unconvincing set up move ever). Wow what an amazing move set :ehh:

Nah...just carryjobs. There is no one wrestler who is walking around with classics for years on end except for Macho Man Randy Savage and certain Japanese workers. Bret Hart doesn't have a career full of classics. He has some stand out matches. His biggest match was a screwjob situation. Same thing with Michaels. That's what they are known for. If he was as over as Bret was in history, they would't have shytted on him so badly when he shafted Bryan. Flair has alot of great encounters but if you break them down, they are formula matches with a guy that has alot of ring stamina. Taker only started to have highly regarded matches at the tail end of his run. All of the stuff from 1990-1996 was basically shytted on and treated as no sells. The HIAC 97 match was important because Kane debuted...Owen, one of the best ring talents you'll ever see in your lifetime, what's his classic count? Bret vs Owen at WM X at best. Benoit had a ton of great matches but they have all been marred from the record. Eddie dropped classics that people will never even see because he was on the international bracket. Austin had great matches in WCW with Steamboat and Sting but he barely brings that up and only regards his Stone Cold work as the highpoint of his career. The Bret and Rock matches seem to be his absolute favorites.


There are classic matches..iconic matches but no one was dropping years and years of them. During Bret and Shawn's heyday, all of those "good matches" had people running to the exits and awaiting the rise of Steve Austin and then sticking with the Rock. The story meant more in the end. As usual. People try to run to workrate and matches to justify an overrated type's career push. Which is expected considering they won't be as revered in history.

None of that has anything to do with the question in the OP.

Quite frankly. I don't care about your OP and troll gimmicks. I just responded to someone tagging me up like 5x needing my input above anyone else's.
You were only tagged once and you entered and participated in the thread. You either gotta ignore the "trolls" and keep it moving or get in the trenches....

The original question I asked wasn't even on some bullshyt. Outside of the Hogan matches (which were great matches based on the atmosphere/nostalgia surrounding them), I find it hard to say he outright carried any the true classic matches he has to his name. During his active career, he always held up his end of the match and always put on an entertaining show. I turn a blind eye to the return runs though.....
