The Rock delivers a lengthy online promo

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson released the following promo via social media on Friday.

Powell’s POV: A gem of a promo that should create a lot of online buzz heading into his appearance on tonight’s Smackdown. This was a really creative way of telling the story, and Rock even shared what he whispered to Cody Rhodes during their segment on Smackdown. Join me for live coverage of Smackdown tonight at 7CT/8ET.

    That’s perfection.

    I can’t think of anyone, ever, not named Heyman who could do what I just saw. This is what it’s all about. This is why for ten years I’ve only cared about watching Brock. Wrestling is supposed to make me forget about what it is and instead to believe.
    With Brock, like I’ve told my kids when we watch him (and like Heyman has said in shoot appearances),if Brock wants to do something in the ring, it’s going to happen. Aside from the obvious Wrestling stuff (throwing a guy into the ropes, etc), nearly anything we see Brock doing, we’ve no proof he’s not doing it for real.
    Regarding this Rock promo, while not exactly parallel, it’s similar. Like a great heal, he believes everything he’s saying and, oh by the way, it’s true. There’s no way to know for sure if what he just described about his conversations with Cody Runnels isn’t exactly what went down. We finally have a storyline that, if a non-fan started watching this with us, they would immediately shake their heads and scoff.
    I had no intention of going on and on like this, but I love professional wrestling. I’ve incorporated LOT of what I’ve learned and observed from it into my career as an actor in live theater, and I’ve wondered for many years if it could ever return to anything resembling the art that it once was. I might finally have my answer (or, Seth Rollins and whatever character he’s supposed to be might get more involved).
    If this is what the future looks like with Vince McMahon truly and completely and forever gone… then hot damn, professional is fucking back, baby!

      Wrote this with one thumb while watching Office “Superfan Episodes”, so sorry for a missing word here and there and a incorrect capitalization or punctuation.
