[APPLAUSE] >> Now what?
>> He's doing things his way.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The Rock is doing things his way in
Richmond.
>> I cannot, no.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And here it goes.
Don't tell me.
[INAUDIBLE] There go the sunglasses, the people's sunglasses.
It's the most electrifying move in sports entertainment today.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The people's elbow.
>> An exclamation point!
[LAUGH] The people's elbow.
And The Rock has got the championship.
>> What? >> The Rock.
And listen to the crowd.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> If you smell what the Rock is cooking.
>> And they're smelling what the Rock is cooking [CROSSTALK]
>> What a minute, what?
Where's Rock taking the championship?
>> Well, it's leaving with him.
I guess, he got the authority, Mr. McMahon made the official.
>> Well the Rock's leaving with the championship,
and he laid waste to the bull dog, at Triple H.
[MUSIC]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> First and foremost,
I have to say that, I can't fathom, comprehend the pan,
and the suffering and the anguish, that the families and
friends of the victims are going through.
The workers working diligently 24 hours a day,
sifting through the rubble and
looking for any remnants of life.
It's difficult to talk about this, and I will say that I can't,
I couldn't imagine what it must be like to be there,
I couldn't imagine if my own family were there.
I will offer my condolences, and certainly say that,
everyone is in my heart and in my prayers.
And I just wanna say to everyone out there,
again, to the families and
friends, the victims, and
everyone involved is to just, stay strong.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And the Rocky chant,
echoing through the Compaq Center.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Finally,
The Rock has come
back to Houston.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now,
seeing as this is a very special night, and
The Rock has come to Houston to have a great time.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Always does.
>> And seeing as we are live, live on The Rock Show, live on SmackDown!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The Rock is
issuing, The Rock is issuing a challenge.
Anybody in the back who wants to go, one on one with the great one?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Who wants to
go one on one with the great one, and get a piece of the rock?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Who's gonna accept this challenge?
Somebody's gonna jump on it, I'll tell you.
>> Well, it's not gonna be me.
>> Lord, I hope not. >> Well,
stop poking me in the ribs like you want me to get up there or something.
>> Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.
>> Rock pacing like a caged lion.
>> Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.
>> JR, why don't you?
Here we go!
[MUSIC]
>> Now there comes Shawn Stasiak.
>> [COUGH] And?
>> And Stacy Keibler.
Thank you very much.
>> Stasiak or Keibler?
>> Does it matter?
As long as she wears that dress, I don't care.
>> And here comes Stasiak.
>> Run like a wild man down here and all.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The Rock just step down the line,
Stasiak.
He must have a depth perception problem.
>> He's not learned his lesson.
>> Like the Rock was saying, if there's anybody back there.
Who wants a shot at The Rock, come up, right now.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> What is he doing?
>> He's gonna lose his lunch, breakfast and dinner.
>> Look at [INAUDIBLE] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> No!
>> Look at Rikishi, look at The Rock!
>> Rock holding Mr. McMahon, I think Rikishi's gonna back that up.
>> Give it to him, give it to him!
>> No, don't, don't, he's a billionaire!
He owns this company [SOUND] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> For his lips,
on the biggest ass in the WWF!
Hell yeah!
>> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND] >> Thank God!
Thank God, there is a God in this world!
>> On behalf of the millions!
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> The metric man catch your ass club

>> How does it feel being humiliated?
[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]
>> [INAUDIBLE] wait a minute [INAUDIBLE] calm down,
look out, Rock, what are you doing?
>> The Rock ripping apart our announce table, okay.
>> Easy, Rock, take it easy now.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> No, wait, we need that stuff.
>> And the Undertaker with a boot to the face, Rock took way too much time.
And the Undertaker floored him with a boot to the head.
>> I tried to warn The Rock.
He just wouldn't listen to us.
>> And the Undertaker driving The Rock right into the ring barrier.
And The Rock looks down and out on his feet.
This vicious, this sadistic, this monster, this Undertaker is an absolute animal.
>> [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] >> Not another steel chair.
>> And the Undertaker, he's made a living with steel chairs in recent weeks.
>> How else he's gonna do that?
>> I know, but he might look!
Watch this.
>> No, not this, not this.
>> What? >> Look, look.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The Undertaker was gonna try and
[INAUDIBLE] >> The Rock's gone.
[SOUND] >> And
a shot to the midsection of The Rock, by The Undertaker.
>> Look out, Rock!
>> The Undertaker is hell bent on crushing the throat of The Rock.
And now The Undertaker and Rock continue.
This is utter chaos and destruction, here at ring side.
>> Look out, The Rock, Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom!
The Rock Rock Bottomed The Undertaker!
>> Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Rocky, Rocky, Rocky,
Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Finally,
The Rock has come back.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Home.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> We got a very,
very special show.
This is a special show.
It's a special night.
Rock wanted to introduce somebody right now.
Here tonight, not only he's a Rock's boy.
Not only a worldwide superstar, Grammy nominated.
More importantly than all of that, Miami's own, Flo Rida.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> So now we're
back.
Not only is The Rock back here tonight, but
The Rock is back on a very special show.
The Rock is back on the show that was named after The Rock.
The rock is back on his show tonight, in front of his home town.
Smackdown.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Who in
the blue hell are you?
>> [LAUGH] >> Is that a trick question?
You know who I am.
Everybody in the WWE Universe knows who I am.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> My name is Mr. John Laurinaitis.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I am the former
executive vice president of Town Relations, and
the former General Manager of Raw and Smackdown.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Well
you clearly have me confused with somebody who actually gives a crap.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> You
interrupted storytime with The Rock.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> My former adversary,
Teddy Long, gave me permission to come out here and talk to you, Rock.
Now I'm sure Teddy, like everybody in the WWE universe,
thinks I'm gonna come out here, talk too long and end up getting rock bottom.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> But that's not gonna happen.
You know why?
Because Rock, you and I are a lot alike.
We're like two peas in a pod.
You're the people's champion, and I created people power.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I was the greatest general manager
the WWE has ever seen.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Until it was ruined by one man,
named John Cena.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> John Cena's the reason I was fired.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And John Cena is the reason I'm back.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Well, if you don't get to your point,
John Cena is also gonna be the reason you get your monkey ass kicked all over
this arena.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [INAUDIBLE]
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Well here's my point, Rock,
here's my point.
>> John Cena, at Wrestlemania, will do whatever he needs to do to beat you.
I know that, and you know that.
So I have got a business proposition for you.
You're a businessman, and I'm a businessman.
What to do you say, Big Johnny in the corner of the Rock?
Whoa, whoa, whoah.
They may not like it Rock, but guess what?
You wanna be popular or do you wanna win?
Because you know, winning is everything, at any cost.
That is why, with me in your corner, there is no way, and
Big Johnny says, no way, John Cena will beat you at WrestleMania.
With me in your corner, I can guarantee your victory.
You and me Rock.
We're like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
Two great tastes.
It tastes great together.
What do you say?
>> I'll tell you what, since The Rock is the People's Champion, you invented
People Power, and I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but how about this.
I think it's only fitting and appropriate that we involve the people.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> What all
of you like to see, this stale, old, indigestible,
stick to the top of the top of the roof of your mouth
until you wanna vomit piece of peanut butter.
Team up with the most electrifying piece of chocolate the world has ever seen.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Well it seems as though the people have
spoken.
So, I'm a businessman just like you, I have a business proposition for you.
>> Rock bottom.
>> Well, it's not a rock bottom.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> How about you and I, together,
send John Cena a message.
Together?
Like a peanut butter cup?
>> I like that.
What do you have in mind?
What do you have in mind, Rock?
>> Well, the first thing I have in mind,
is the most important thing in any business deal.
Is a handshake.
Shake my hand.
Then you agree.
All
right.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Why would he do that?
>> Spider in the pine.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> What's The Rock got against peanut
butter?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The People's Elbow.
[SOUND] Now, that's some people power.
>> If you smell what The Rock is cooking.
