I like how The Rock is all in giving Gregory Helms/The Hurricane the spotlight he deserves. Very few legends can give a jobber or a midcarder to do such a thing.
Hurricane was the only one who vibed on the same buzz as the Rock. He understood the humour & was great for setting up the punchline for the Rock. Everyone else was dry as a desert.
But wasn’t the scorpion king evil in the mummy returns. So the line Brendan Fraser beat him isn’t the same. Of course scorpion king would lose he was the bad guy.
CLASSIC🤣.. I HONESTLY can't recall EVER a more Entertaining Person NOT ONLY in the Ring but ON THE MIC OR PROMOS in general then THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MAN AND SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT, THE ROCK👏. Not ONLY did he have me 🤣 Falling out my Chair back then But I'm now 36yrs & saw and NEW what was going to be said AND I STILL CRACK UP🤣🤣🤣. Only the Rock can get me
The Rock didn't have to do it but he did it because he was Secure with who he was 3 weeks segments made the hurricane a superstar after beating the rock
The few segments between Rocka nd Hurricane including their match were absolutely awesome! Also made Hurricane more respected with his character and where rock was in the card I believe. He was already over but this mini feud elevated him even further
Gregory Helms is such an underrated wrestler. He had good in-ring skills and could cut a great promo. Rock loved working with him, and that says a lot.
I forgot how funny Gregory Holmes also was. His character was ridiculous in WCW and he really had a chance to shine in the WWE. You could have done a lot more with him and The Rock. Just too much comedy greatness.
Rock was on top of the world and accepted a feud with Hurricane. Not only did he accept but he also made sure it was the funniest possible... And actually lost to him. Dude's a treasure
Ehh.. Kind’of a sacrifice on the buildup of Austin agreeing to lose to him at the following Mania.. Highly doubt Rock would’ve had Hurricane beef on a just a regular Monday or Thursday lol.. Either way, I enjoyed those interactions..
