Honestly, The Rock's 2013 return promos hit harder than his 2000s stuff
Tbh, I rewatched his 2013 segment where he called Cena a 'wiener' and the crowd in Chicago went nuts. The delivery was way more natural and less scripted cartoonish than his Attitude Era rants. Anybody else think his later mic work was underrated?
Used to be all about the Attitude Era promos (still love them, don't get me wrong) but you might be onto something here. The 2013 run felt way more grounded and he wasn't trying to be a catchphrase machine every five seconds. That Chicago segment with Cena is definitely one of his best promos, no doubt.
