(Paraphrasing) to Goldberg: "You were a big fish in a small pond...the Rock is a whale in a teardrop!"
Now, forgetting that whales aren't fish, I get he's a heel saying how awesome he is, but if WCW was a pond, isn't he saying that the WWF is way smaller than WCW was?
Yes, I get that I'm way over thinking this, but it just always kinda bugged me

He is comparing how big he is relative size terms. A big fish in a small pond takes up a lot of the overall area of that pond. A whale in a tear drop is a way to say in comparison, he is much bigger than the WWE (the teardrop). The size of the pond and tear are not to be compared directly, rather, are used as the base of the scale. He is saying he is infinitely bigger than the WWE where Goldberg was a big part of WCW, but he didn't transcend past it in any way. He could not use a whale in an ocean or pond as his reference due to him wanting to make the comparison as grand as possible. It also does not matter that a whale is a mammal. Whale is being used for its size since you never think of a small whale, you think of a mammoth creature in the ocean. He couldn't use shark since there are tiny sharks and when you say shark, you don't think mammoth in size like a whale.
If you think about it, his comparison is actually extremely educated. He really was a monster star compared to the WWE where as Goldberg wasn't that compared to WCW.

Our friendship is over. You have lady parts. Trending worldwide. Fruity Pebbles. Popcorn Fart. Trailer park trash. How's your lips? Come to think of it, Rock has probably gotten 2 catchphrases over for every 100 he's tried. Maybe he's actually one of the worst catchphrase guys of all time.

I think he's simultaneously the best and worst. Yeah, he doesn't have a great percentage of good ones, but damn if he didn't try every single stupid thing he thought of.
