>>7622907The Rock was good at promos when he was getting over. By 1999 he was already over, and turned into a catchphrase vending machine that just yelled everything. His 1998 theme's calm "do you smell what the rock is cooking? ha" compared to the later "OMG DO YA SMELLLLLLLLLALALALALLA WHAT THE ROCK! IS! COOOOOOOOKING!" perfectly encapsulates the problem. He went from somebody with charisma and wit, inventing new lines, to somebody just yelling lines he came up with last year.
