The Rock has had many great moments at WrestleMania, and his fans are hoping to see another one on April 1st. John Cena has ruled the WWE in regard to popularity for the past seven years. If The Rock defeats yet another wrestling icon, where will it rank amongst his many great moments on the industry's biggest stage?
Let's take a look at what it will have to contend with:
WrestleMania 27 - The Rock Hosts the Event
Though The Rock wasn't actually in action, he continued to lay the groundwork for this year's main event with John Cena. This promo wasn't quite as strong as the one that announced he was the WrestleMania 27 host, but it was still strong.
Memorizing that poem was a subtle, but noteworthy moment, and part of what makes The Rock the greatest.
WrestleMania 13 - Rock Defeats Sultan
The Rock was still Rocky Maivia at this point, and in his first stint as a face. The Rock defeated The Sultan, who had the hilarious Jim Cornette and the more hilarious Iron Sheik in his corner. Rocky won fair and square, but they had to go all heel on him.
This match became memorable when The Rock's father Rocky Johnson came into the ring to stop the ambush on his son.
The Sheik and Sultan got the drop on the elder Rock, but baby Rock sprang into action to save dad.
The end.
WrestleMania 18 - The Rock Defeats Hulk Hogan
This turned out to be a much better worked match than I expected. I had very low expectations for the in-ring work, but The Rock and Hollywood Hulk Hogan were a sight to behold.
The two most iconic personalities in the industry in the ring together was awesome. The Rock was victorious after three Rock Bottoms and a People's Elbow.
This was a must-see and jewel in the industry's history.
WrestleMania 19 - The Rock Finally...Beats Stone Cold
The Rock breaks the Austin jinx by beating him fair and square in the middle of the ring. The two men traded finishers, and put on an exciting display.
Nothing is better than watching two superstars, both at the peak of their popularity, battle it out. Seeing one get the win, without controversy, makes it all the better.
This was my favorite Rock match.
Will WrestleMania 28 add to the list?
We'll see on April 1.
