[1999-09-20-WWF-Raw] Interview: The Rock & Mankind

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Mankind tries and fails to spoof Rock's catchphrases again. Michael Cole gets covered up with a t-shirt again. At least he reacts like a semi-normal human being this time. Rock demonstrates how he talks trash in his sleep in a funny moment. He's on fire tonight.

 

"In case you're wondering, you sicko, things between me and The Rock are strictly platonic." - Mankind

[Tim Evans]

Man when you watch some of these Rock interviews, you notice just how superior he is compared to everyone else. He was just hitting one liners in succession. Then Mankind ups him at the end with his line at Cole.

Hilarious segment. For the short time they were doing this act Mankind and the Rock had really incredible chemistry.

Awesome segment for Rock n Sock and it was shortish too so it didn't derail the show. This worked for me on all levels.

"Rock, can I keep this shirt?" Not sure if we're getting Rock vs. Undertaker or a Rock 'n Sock tag, but some sort of match is happening tonight. Or at Unforgiven. Or sometime in-between.

Mankind saying he did not need saving from the remnants of the Ministry and that he was just getting his second wind when The Rock arrives, but appreciates it nonetheless because that's what best friends do! The Rock using Michael Cole face to advertise his new shirt was great. The Rock 'N' Sock Connection has been great on rewatch. Awesome odd couple. I watched the Taker promo after this. Taker calls out The Rock for using TV writer. Damn! Undertaker seems already in American Badass mode. I have watched 2 or 3 Taker promos. He is pretty terrible. He forgets his lines and is awkward speaking. The Undertaker gimmick was perfect for him because he did not have to speak. Undertaker would leave soon because he was injured. Rock 'N' Sock take home the tag titles on this night!
