The Rock Monologue: WWF Stars Stop By - SNL 

Ah this comment is so underrated.

Jax243 You’ll also feel the rage of a Whoop Ass Machine!!

HAHAHA that's what I was saying. I wished he'd have just popped his head into frame like a cartoon character.

SNL couldnt handle that level of awesome

Mitch Back then they could have. Now? Not so much.

Yes!!

wait, wait, wait... This big, nice man in suit and with hair is... Big Show??? Woah.. "The more you know''

@@user-nm8eg6wg9s are you serious?

No, it's stupid and gay.

The Big Show was hilarious. I couldn't believe when the shitty crowds used to chant, "PLEASE RETIRE". They forgot that he was apart of damn near all of the biggest moments during the middle and tail end of the Attitude Era. That run he had with The Rock in 2000 was awesome. The USA WWE crowd fans suck today. Always on their phones. No personal crowd signs. Dead energy in damn near every show so much so that WWE has began editing the audio to add in fake crowd noise because the USA fans suck. When WWE comes to the UK or the world travels to see WrestleMania we always show out but the weeks after that event and it's back to the boring dead USA crowd, SMDH.

Just where’s Stone Cold

@@jaxonjaxoff3291 would've been injured cuz this snl was in the lead up to mania 2000, austin returned after mania 2000 at backlash

@@mitchelllynch1129 that’s right

Unfortunately most of this crowd in the SNL studio were the "Broadway musical fans" type about 60% then string pulling lucky bastards who got in just to see AC-DC about less than 20% and remainder of the crowd simply out of town tourist who wanted to see SNL , , , ,

The fuckin big show 😂

They're actors first, athletes second

Hahaha! That's a fact! "Dandruff shampoo and monkey turds" almost got Hunter to break mid-promo! Man, I miss these guys not being in the ring...

@@miaya3898 Oh yeah? Tell me something, If that's true; what's Roman Reigns' excuse? Don't hate, it's 2022. Cynical jealousy isn't a good look anymore.. ... Unless you're a click-bait RU-vidr who still thinks they have the power to cancel somebody for offending their delicate, milky snowflake, 30-something, 21st century sensibilities like they grew-up in a Dickens novel.

@@theheartlessknight2426 you lost me at everything you said. And I really stopped watching wrestling 20 years ago

Meh, that was the stiffest comedy ever on SNL

Amazing!!

How did you figure it out?

And Brooklyn 99

No shit!

Doesn’t he play Mose too (Dwight’s cousin) ?

That’s Mike Schur! He plays Mose on The Office and created shows like Parks and Rec and The Good Place.

@@DLMacDonald oh cool thanks for the info

No

He completely no sold it.

He went to Harvard!

There's a crowd reaction at :50 when the rest come in.

you probably werent old enough to know how truly big the rock was during this time. Austin was a megastar within the wwe community, but once you go past that realm, the rock truly was the biggest superstar ever created in professional wrestling. You have guys like hogan who pioneered and became the first megastar ever, austin ruled during the edgy time period and was the second megastar after hogan, id put cena with them now as well, but theres only one man whos on his way to become the first ever billionaire wrestler, and its all thanks to his tenure in the wwf at that time. 1999-2000 rock was the greatest peak any wrestler could achieve, i mean just look at this video, how many wrestlers have HOSTED SNL and got a pop like this?? No wrestler ever got as many calls from hollywood during their peak iike the rock did

​@@ngawangr5324Bret Hart is a glaring omission from your list of names

Gen Z don't know how big the Attitude Era was

​@@chigwesibanyama1148Bret hart was nowhere near the rock......

And then, they have a huge rivalry in the ring, after this show.

They are good friends in real life

HBK and HHH bullied him when he first came in@@kristianolliviere9045

​@@kristianolliviere9045yep and they (stone cold and Undertaker as well) knows what's best for business. Even with what's currently going on in WWE with Rock's return.

I was half expecting him to make an appearance.

Or just cut to a shot of Stone Cold chugging on a beer backstage lol.

Or if they'd made a point of hiding whoever was sitting in front of their seats... and it just happened to be Austin and he stood up and gave Foley one from a sixer he brought in on his own.

@@kevinstull8552 Yeah, have a kid like the one H was picking on strung up on the wall by a wedgie, with a shirt showing he was "the beer man", a beer server tray with empty cans and Austin chuggin one

thatonedrewguy then gave him a stunner

Tevin Landry HIS NAME IS JOHN CENAAAAAA !! But burr burrrrrr

@@NOTLKU86 I love Cena he is awesome but there is only one Rock same with Hogan, Bret Micheals, Andre and many others.

Enzo was the last guy that had excellent Mic skills. But his in ring skills were mehhh.. And that false rape allegation and attitude shit ruined a super bright career

Dennis Shaw Only one stone cold too, even though he tried to make CM Punk a new one.

@@twns1076 CM Punk was being CM Punk.There will be one Steve Austin.But Punk had real rebel vibes

SuFgfuhxu dyfd Gf ytffh uh f Uh f it f KhF Gf f Gf Dr Gf fyfy Dr uh it Dr u it g

Not only that When he danced around like a cheerleader chanting Rocky😂😂😂😂

hate that his netflix show flopped. that made it too “full housey”

@@zacharyf473The sad thing is, the show is actually pretty wholesome and fun to watch, shame it flopped.

He's damn good at what he does. If he can keep a straight face while that hermaphrodite Kevin Kelly had his finger shoved up his nose for an entire interview, he can make it through anything.

And Mick Foley too

@@WhoisVinnie I forgot about this comment and had to rewatch the clip. lol. Yeah, Foley too. But the Big Show swinging his hips like that had me cracking up!!

Eric Deitrich John Cena is a household name

Lil Tree No he’s not lmao

@@l.arandom1631 Yeah he is.

@@l.arandom1631 he kind of is a household name lol. I would say just based off memes alone.

@@l.arandom1631 Yea tf he is, he's the last massive star from the WWE in the past years.

Yup because that PPV happened in April and this was just another way to promo leading up to that

Yeah it was like two weeks before it.

Congratulations you won!

Yeah because Vince came out on Raw and said live from Monday Night Raw!

I was to promote Wrestlemania

But how does rock know what monkey turds smell like?

calvingmail I’m sure he doesn’t it’s just funny to say. Don’t look so deep into it 🙄

@@kennyjones1348 Irony.

SHAMPOO! dandruff shampoo

@@calvingmail he had an internship at The People's Zoo when he was on hiatus.

I still see and hear a wrestler when I look at him.

What? He was better here then he is now..

@@ronnywillyAgreed

Damn right every man should. Actually, a lot of young men could learn a thing or two about confidence from watching pro wrestling.

Do you have any idea who is replying to your comment right now? It's the FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE! Me funny (!!!) vids are so extremely funny, if you don't cry tears of laughter, you are allowed to thumb down me XTREMELY FUNNY vids! Do you think me funny (!!!) vids are funny, dear kaean

😉

😂

I just commented that

He has been in Hollywood for over five years now and is the highest paid actor. He stopped wrestling to do acting

@@daellerolle-mcdonald1385 Guess you aren’t a fan of sarcasm! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@daellerolle-mcdonald1385 the only thing that makes me cringe more than a corny overused joke is a person who didn’t even get that it was a joke

@@daellerolle-mcdonald1385 He’s been in Hollywood for 20 plus years now.

@@69bokus He should have used emojis Emojis made back in the 80s to distinguish jokes afterall

@Matthew Alkman fresh after an injection

he pumped before going out, that's for damn sure

@@voose03 and you dont? i pump before going anywhere, cant be seen without a pump. would just be unprofessional

@@nukenade4623 lmao

@@nukenade4623 My man knows!

Ravi Teja that was Mike Shur, who later went on to be one of the producers and actors of the Office and the creator of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine Nine

Ravi Teja poor Mose

Ravi Teja I thought he said "Hey, what the hell". At first lmaoooo

You can see Triple HHH laughing while dragging him away lol.

Hahaha no he don't...the rock came in as a clown rocky maivia and hhh came in as a corny french blue blood lol...the guys that bc stars it's bc of them...what makes them great is usually they use about 90% of who they really are...even stone cold sucked bc Vince didn't know how to use them

@james mastrobuono That's a good point, but u still need mainstream help to get out there. That's what Vince did. None of these guys wouldn't be as high as they are without Vince, or at least during that working period.

Vince also knows how to take a crap on people!

I wonder why? Maybe because he's got talent?

@@DannyDeLeon No cause people will pay to watch the rock than anyone at one point

@@DannyDeLeon He's like Vince Vaughn and Ryan Reynolds. He really only knows how to play himself. He's naturally charismatic, but that's about it.

The fact that you believe he's the highest paid actor is incredible

@@RAWestover extremely charismatic....

Oh I thought he said Hogwarts

cheeselovingtree He sold that Rocky's punch pretty good too

cheeselovingtree Jaja it's Mose from the office

Abran Osorio i knew that was mose!!

Yeah that’s Michael Schur Co-creator of Parks and Rec

+BadAssMacmillan IKR why is this not a meme yet?

even on this he face and healed turned in the matter of seconds.

And WWE's popularity has declined equally. 😕️

Proud Indian and Brawn Strowman is actually the nicest caring dude ever as well

@Proud Indian Yea cause if Kelvin couldn't seperate the character from the man lol I say it's not that fake at all

Alan Rizkallah Yeah we know I was a little kid when I saw this live on tv 📺 and now I am 31 years old now I am big and tall like the rock now

@@actionfigurescollectionssu7854 bro. look at you. my man. i'm 25.

Super Jr. Me to

Victor Ochoa Roman Reigns is the only known wrestler

I Remembered Undertaker On Figure It Out In 1995 When He Got Slimed Hahahahaha Undertaker Didn't Deserve That

Wrestling is an art

It isn't anymore in the USA? In Germany they cut everything around 2000, bit later. Since some Month I looked up what some of my Heros of the youth have become and also was suprised seeing Rock in Movies, Triple H in Blade etc. Can you tell me short how it is nowadays? That it is "soft" I know. But I also know Wrestling was huge in the USA. Sad to here it isn't anymore :/

Is like how Road Runner & Wildly Coyote inject their cards after business hours of trying to kill each other and end the day like: "So...you want to grab a beer before we go back to our homes?" "Sure, this entire day left me thirsty."

It's called Respect

You should see the clip where they both make fun of Kurt Angle and coming out, it's classic.

It's fake

Trips and Mick have been close friends for a long time

oh yea

Brock Lesnar triple h can't change his voice or put on a decent accent so naaaaaaa

I think Sabretooth would be more up his alley.

instead we get gay vampire with a mutant palm.

He was considered for the role.

Lol i was thinking that too like "haha bitch Triple H had to sit on the stairs while Mick and Big Show got the seats" but it was cus Triple H had to go down on stage so him sitting on the stairs would be the easiest way

@@billblaski9523 really it’s bc Big show takes up 3 seats

Yep, the musical guest was AC/DC

Can you believe that was 23 years ago!?? Where's it all gone??? I have absolutely nothing to show for it! Nothing!!!

@@BigBadJerryRogers I know, it hits hard. I’m 33 now, I had never even heard of SNL when it was mentioned he was gonna guest star on it. I’ve served 8 years in the Army and graduated college… That’s about all I’ve done that’s so great.

Hunter: Didn't happen yet.

ikr

+Rohith Nayak Better yet, it comes from Syco Sid.

OMG that would have been hilarious!

he had hair and it looked sexy on him

yeah

HOW ABOUT UNDERTAKER ?

Shreya Dey yep u are 🤢

well this has been a fun read....

+Tivers my fondest memories are during the days of Hulk Hogan , macho man, the ultimate warrior, barber beefcake, those were the best childhood memories for me!

+Tivers Do You mean circus show?

+olier1 us

u mean it's finally stopped being gay?

The Rock is still 100× times better than the current wwe roster.

Steroids

This was when he was drinking steroids

early 00's Stephanie gives the best pumps

abdi badal he probably was doing biceps in the green room...

Gamer Lion no

He never got the credit he deserved

@@anthonyburt8339 Very true!

VINTAGE BIG SHOW!!

"I know I'm hot but keep your hands to yourself." Lol😄.

@@anthonyburt8339 He was the best part of the cold open, trying to hide a chair behind his back and picking up Katan, and he was great in the morning talk show segment.

Rewatching all the attitude era Raws on WWE Network atm and I 100% agree with this. So many incredible matches and great chemistry between them. Summerslam 98 is a forgotten classic.

Rock N Sock is where its at.

@@mattmacneill7861 Judgement Day '00 is another top highlight as well. The match really shows where their respective strengths and weakness lie, along with an despicable but awesome ending.

Not just their matches.. The promos were always on point 👌🏻

Very true...when these two went at it, especially during their 2000 feud, it genuinely felt and looked like they hated each other and wanted to kill each other in the ring. That's a testimony to the passion both had for the business and their characters. We don't see that too much in the WWE anymore as things look contrived.

No. He always smirks when someone insults him before he jabs back. It's his nonverbal quirk ala Rock's eyebrow.

@cpk1994 or vince lol

Lmmfaoooo UNDERRATED COMMENT!!

I nearly spat my drink !

That's Kevin Nash's gimmick.

Lets just say he would still make it to the stage and walk backstage as if nothing happened

Pp

+baileyboy125 OH, SHUT UP.

"The American blueblood, Hunter Hearst Helmsley."

He continued to be in the MHE, just in an 'evolved' way. Even more so during Evolution.

I think he first appeared as the aristocrat on the wrast'l timeline.

He used to be French

​@@TRJ2241987 a French aristocrat at that

Lol yes!! Very early on in my childhood

he is still but i agree iwould like the past

Jesus, he was 30 back then. He really looked way older than he really was.

Solon Hhh: 30 Rock: 27 Foley: 34 Big show: 28

Bejoy Pradeep now he's almost 50, and doesn't look much different.

when steroids were allowed

Nah we didn't hear him triple H's biceps muffled the sound

Jackbro82 I FUCKIN KNEW IT 💀

😆😆😆I just noticed

@Jackbro82 LOL wow how in the fuck did you remember that he was from the Office by seeing his face when you wrote the comment? His face is so forgetable lol.

It doesn’t matter what he shouted

Good. This sucked ass, man.

@@blurgle9185 I'm guessing in your era. Your 23-28yrs old by now boi!

Sit yo candy ass down. Snl has done a lot since this aired. You're just to stubborn to dive into anything new.

Not quite; see "WWE Promo Shoot - SNL".

SNL sucks as it is. Except the Jim Carrey song.

Nothing is...

You'll say that again in another 20 years. :)

Its crazy what happened to chris kattan....life is nuts

It always is "not the same", everything was better "back in the day"

@@vincentseidle954 people hated snl back then too and said the exact same line

I love Rock and hes indeed the only that actually transcended Wrestling and became bigger than the Industry Dont forget Hulk Hogan tho. The only one who ever came close

@@BLACKSTA361 100% I agree with you. Hulk Hogan cracked the door open for Rock to blow it off its hinges.

lol

He had to wrestle FEAR itself.

Mike schur lol

Well that was great acting and I bet well scripted and practiced. Btw: your sister or girlfriend or female friend looks cute. If she is your gf she really has no visual taste but seem to be kind to give a guy like you a chance. Wonder where you met and don’t tell me WoW. Life sometimes really goes strange ways... but hey, maybe she ist just a good fried you like to show like some expensive property. nonetheless congrats
