“It is the best,”
he exclaimed.
“To go back to WWE in this Rock 10.0 version where I can become a heel and say the things that people want to say, let me…I went in and ‘It’s the number one city, you cactus-loving crackheads.’ What I also said was, ‘And every woman in here wants to go one on one with The Rock,’ and all the women go crazy. I said, ‘Now, settle down, you crackhead Karens” [laughs] and then they all cheered again. They were like, ‘Yay!’ [Laughs]”
The Rock’s ability to command the audience’s attention and deliver electrifying promos has been a hallmark of his WWE career.
