The Rock was one of the most popular characters alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin back in the Attitude Era when WWE’s product was at its peak. His emergence into the spotlight guaranteed WWE of star power and a face to run the place.
‘The Brahma Bull’ redefined promo work and his talent on the mic in front of a live audience was absolutely flawless, and fans still eagerly await his verbal smackdowns when he returns every now and then.
The Rock was on one side of the WWE’s greatest rivalry of all time, where he feuded with Stone Cold for 4 years at WrestleMania, setting the stage for a massive build-up.
His work in the industry was revolutionary. Chris Jericho, a man who is regarded by many as the best mic worker of all time, named The Rock as the man for that title.

As a character, WWE has done a splendid job bulling up Lashley and The Heart Business. From being the butt end of a lot of criticism last year when Raw was down in the dumps, the faction has grown to be a fan favorite and is only rising in popularity.
MVP’s influence on the members is certainly commendable and you have to give him credit for Lashley’s victory. His work as a manager and mentor has really paid off and WWE has found the golden combination to their problems on Raw with him, Lashley, and the rest of The Hurt Business.
