I spent every day of my 30's puttin' in hard work..
So today, I can turn 40 and say with a big ass smile..
I'm just gettin' started!
As of this posting, that status has about 90,000 "likes". Today is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's birthday, and if you haven't been paying attention ... he's pretty popular.
To help celebrate Rocky's milestone, we've compiled a loosely ordered list of moments, matches and Kung Pao Bitch jokes from his career. Whether you like him or you don't, it's hard to deny that he's one of the most influential and entertaining performers in the history of pro wrestling ... and one of two pro wrestlers cool enough to be a G.I. Joe. Three if you count The Fridge.
Happy birthday, Rocky.
(Not as good as Pete and Trudy.)

Remember when this site focused on sports. Those were good times.
yep, it’s a shame we don’t have 7 other posts up about sports every day
I don’t like basketball as much as others, but I can respect the athletic achievement. I also happen to love Football, Baseball and Wrestling. I consider all of them sports.
I remember when you were forced to come here and read the wrestling posts.

Stroud came to this site and revitalized it, saving it from the drudge that popped up after Ufford left. Just be grateful the humor is back or take your ass back over to BleacherReport or AintItCoolNews or whatever other site jizzrags get their fix.
@Brandon: You still need more posts about hockey, playa. Even if it’s just to cover Kate Upton regulairly going to Rangers games.

Oh yeah? Well, the Jerk Store called…
These posts are fun and you apparently are the opposite of fun. Don’t be an ass, you’ll enjoy life more

Honorable Mention
“One: Crash Holly. Two: Headbanger Mosh.”
+Rhodes to Brandon. Some great moments that I forgot, and a few I’d never seen.
Oh man Hollywood Rock was awesome. Good times….
Thanks for gathering all these videos. This is a wrestling related post we can all enjoy
This really brings back great memories. Old, heel Rock was so goddamn awesome, you tune in to see him stumble through monologues and wish it was 14-15 years ago. Happy birthday Dwayne.
Some of those videos sure bring back some wonderful memories of TV watching. Where were THOSE kind of promos leading upto Wrestlemania?
Noticeable omission of The Rock’s WWE career: It was on Monday Night Raw, the Brothers of Destruction were beating the shit out of everyone. They set their focus on (I think) D LO.The Rock, who had just became the leader of the NOD, came running out, ran infront of D LO, and told DLO to leave. D LO left, the Rock got murdered by Kane and Taker and The Rock’s major face push was on its way.
All these years later & I still don’t understand how Hogan would be able to shove a camera up Hall/Nash & his own rectum, explain yourself Rock.
I can’t believe no one ever taught Rocky how to throw a chairshot without making the recipient forget 4th grade.
I’m just thankful we don’t have to put up with another pitbull “concert”
You forgot The Rock singing la bamba to eddie guererro … that one is vintage rock ( michael cole voice )
Jesus Christ, how did Shamrock’s head not explode?
I love the Rock in shorts, a ref shirt, and loafers with no socks. Strictly class.
This was great. This was also a reminder that Coachman was actually pretty good in his time there. I met him at a bar after a house show once and he was a really nice guy. Bigger dude than you would think too
One of my favorites was Rock putting a shirt over Kevin Kelly’s face while he interviewed him. Sure it was just a way to plug a Rock t-shirt, but Kelly standing there holding the microphone out with the shirt over his face for nearly the entire five minute promo made it great.
This collection is on par with the first Rock DVD. *sends your work to WWE media*
I forgot about ol’ Hermy. Poor guy. Thanks for this post; good memories.
he is just awesome wrestler he is soo cool man , he is rock
So glad that “My Name Is Billy” is in here. That might be my favorite promo ever, up there with the promo in Toronto after Rock-Hogan 2.
My birthday is May 2nd as well. This collection was a perfect belated gift.
I can’t stand Limp Bizkit, but I’ll be damned if #23 was not a perfect build-up to WrestleMania.
Where the HELL was that process this year, Dubya-Dubya-EEE???
always want to be a wwe superstar and my life one day i will see the rock in real life
