5. Good Guy That Fans Hated
When he first got into the WWE, they gave him a gimmick that pumped up his family linage as he was the first third-generation wrestler for the company. The problem was he came off way too goofy and smiled…a lot, as he got more TV time, fans began to dislike him more and more to the point where they would chant “Rocky sucks!” and “Die! Rocky! Die!”
Most wrestlers would have a really tough time recovering from such a bad reaction, but after returning from injury, Rock turned heel and joined up with Nation of Domination. Here is where he was able to develop “The Rock” persona and let his true skills come out, slowing becoming the best talker in the company. Eventually, Rock left the group, turned face, and became “The People’s Champ.” This time around, people did not boo him.
