Fans React to Dwayne Johnson’s Ranking Higher Than 52-Year-Old WWE Legend as WWE Names the Top 10 Debuts of All Time: “Rock Shouldn’t Even Be on the List”

The Rock, Dwayne One of the all-time great WWE superstars is undoubtedly Johnson. But why did the fans lose it when they saw The Great One’s name on a list of the top 10? When we discuss The Rock, his reputation and stature go beyond any record, award, or list you could possibly think of. He was the main attraction during WWE’s Attitude Era and later rose to prominence in Hollywood.

Nevertheless, the fact that he was included in the list of the greatest WWE debuts caused the fans to turn against him. Rather, they chose to unite around another icon who is still important in the modern wrestling industry.

The Rock, who is the first third-generational performer in the organization, had a lot of buzz around his WWE debut. Under the ring moniker “Rocky Maivia,” he made his debut at the WWE Survivor Series event in 1996. Jim Ross referred to him as the “Blue chip prospect,” and he took part in the customary 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match.

It was the first time the faпs got to witпess the fᴜtᴜre megastar. Bᴜt accordiпg to maпy, The Rock’s debᴜt didп’t match the label of beiпg called a memorable debᴜt. A receпt post by Wrestle Ops oп Twitter aboᴜt the Top 10 WWE debᴜts iпvited some heat for The People’s champioп.

Moreover, that detractioп was also dᴜe to the fact of The Rock’s пame beiпg raпked above cᴜrreпt AEW star aпd legeпd, Chris Jericho. Faпs heavily sᴜpported Jericho’s debᴜt to be mᴜch better thaп Hollywood’s highest-paid actor.

August on RAW was the last month the clock was running down to his debut.

There is undoubtedly debate among the fans regarding who liked Chris Jericho’s debut better than The Rock. But there is a good amount of coincidence involved. When the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla made his WWE debut in 1999, he was billed as the enigmatic “Millennium man.” In August on RAW, the countdown until his debut eventually ran out.

When the man’s identity was eventually revealed, it was Chris Jericho, making his ‘Y2J’ cameo. The Rock was inside the ring as Jericho came. Coincidentally, Jericho’s first verbal altercation in the WWE took place with The Rock, who many thought was higher on the aforementioned Top 10 list. Moreover, the night of Y2J’s debut will always be remembered as a memorable one.
