I was watching a few clips earlier, bringing back some memories but this was before I was a regular user of the internet so I don't how people thought of this gimmick.
I thought it was absolutely brilliant, hilarious and innovative.
Come to think of it, Heel Batista last year had quite a few similarities.

The best part about Sacramento is that in a couple of hours, The Rock will be LEAVING Sacramento!!!!! "Ever since The Rock cam into town, everyone is trying to keep him down; Canadians have no class, that's why they can kiss the People's ass! |

I love how the Rock used the backlash he got from fans for going to do movies to reinvent himself. The ironic thing was the fans started to cheer for him again no matter how dickish he acted towards them. As soon he turned face, they started back booing him. So he turned heel again and the same thing happened.

That's probably the best thing to ever happen to Sacramento, sadly.

Coming from someone who normally thought Rock was an annoying catch-phrase spouting machine, his 'Hollywood' run was hilariously awesome.

I loved the obnoxiously long entrance video. If only I could post that... Haha do you remember the theme song he only used once? It was at No Way Out I believe. Before the one where it just went '..is cookin'' and kicked in, it kicked in first and the quote was.. "IF YA SMELLLL... IF YA SMELLLLLLL... IF YA SMELLLLALALALALL LOOK AT THE TONGUE! LOOK AT THE TONGUE! LOOK AT THE TONGUE! ALALAL.. WHAT THE ROCK.... IS COOKIN'... HUHAHAH!" Just awesomely arrogant. |

Rock was so awesome during this period. I think the Toronto promo was my favorite though.
Rock: FINALLLLLLLLLLLY the ROCK has come back to TORRRRRRRRRRRRun his mouth on all your candy asses.
Then later
Rock: Then Vince McMahon did the Rock a favor, he said Rock you can go wherever you want, you can do whatever you want to do so the Rock said he wanted to live on Monday Night Raw more importantly then that the Rock said he wanted come right here to TORONTO CANADA (crowd cheers). Are ya kidding the Rock, are ya kiddin. Is that this the first time you've heard anybody mention your city is that it. Oh yay horray yay, he said Toronto that's where where we live we live in Toronto yay SHUT UP!
Had me laughing forever.

Hollywood Rock was as beloved by internet smarks as his previous incarnation had been despised after he got really stale around 2000 or so.

The Rock was amazing when he came back for his last WWE run. It's like, everything about him improved when he came back. His music was bad ass, his promos were funnier, he looked cooler, he may have even been better in the ring.

"There is only ONE superstar of the decade, true superstar of the millenium. You know what that is? The Rock will tell who that is. Toronto that is...the jabroni beating, YALALALA, pie eating, trail blazing, eyebrow raising, stronger than a bear, faster than a buck, the biggest thing to hit Canada cause THE MAPLE LEAFS SUCK!!!"
"What super powers you're gonna bring; what super powers Hurricane got? HAMBURGLAR!? What's you gonna do? Throwing chicken mcnugget at The Rock, you'll hit The Rock in the head with a cheeseburger? What super powers do you have?
"Arrest him (The Hurricane), he's guilty of shoving chicken mcnugget straight up his ass."
"YOU (pointing at Gillberg) are in so much trouble. No, you are; you were making fun of Goldberg for years; he's gonna come out an whip your ass."
This character was the best thing he had done in his WWE career. He was one of the few heels who got the "asshole" chant twice in one night.

My favorite period of The Rock. I got pretty tired of same old, same old babyface Rock after so long. But Hollywood Rock, everything he did was great.
Austin feud, the segments with the Hurricane, the concerts. It was all great.

The whole 'Hollywood' thing was pretty much my favorite type of heel: the over-the-top asshole.
