The Rock's Promo on Billy Gunn | July 11, 1999 Heat

[DalleDayul]

The fact that one of the greatest promos in wrestling history was delivered on an episode of Heat is absolutely buck wild

[johnkalap]

"Bob?" "But my name's Billy!" "It doesn't matter what your name is!!" The birth of the most iconic catch-phrase in wrestling history.

[brandonmiller]

“Bob”
“But my name’s Billy…”

To set yourself up for your own punchline is masterful

This version of the Rock was untouchable. The chain, sideburns, expensive shirts and sunglasses, the promo. His swag was untouchable

[leggy]

Imagine buying a ticket to the WWE's c show, and getting to witness one of the greatest promos in pro wrestling history.

[obduliomoronta]

The best version of the rock hands down. Swag, wordplay, confidence at an all-time high

[kevinhuneycutt]

His promo skills were off the charts. Unbelievable charisma.

[xmoney]

“You must go find the man who is simply electrifying”

….legendary

[jrmop]

When he drops the "It doesn't matter ..." The promo was instant classic

[Meatball]

He was so damn good. He’s a once in a lifetime talent.

[stevegallo]

And this was on HEAT. There was a time when Heat was worth watching. All time great promo from the Great One.

[joshuabrooks]

The Rock is definitely a once in a lifetime superstar.

[Sitharos]

Vince: “Dude… I said shoot a promo, not end his whole career!!!” 🤣

[derrickdorsey]

23 years later...and there has been absolutely nothing even coming close to just how f*cking awesome and fun this time of wrestling was. Not everything was perfect..lets be real...but moments like this were pure magic.

[ssjcbluewolf]

This is The Rock I miss. The sunglasses, the expensive shirts. He was believable. Now when The Rock returns, he's just Dwayne Johnson imitating The Rock.

[SergMilli]

Probably in my top five best Rock promos. This is the best he's ever been in my opinion.

[aeroblaziken]

"Everybody still thinks that I ABSOLUTELY SUCK" greatest 7 words ever spoken in a Promo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[cibida]

"You are absolutely right. You DO suck"

The Rock from 98-2001 is the GOAT of professional wrestling.

[skengdaddy]

I love how rock perfectly woven almost all of his catchphrases into the promo

[the-blue-barron]

The rock was an absolute monster on the mic.
