The Rock recently shared that if he had to introduce someone to the world of professional wrestling, he would show them the very first WrestleMania. In a new interview with Complex, The Rock was asked what show he would recommend to a non-fan to best explain the essence of pro wrestling. He explained that WrestleMania 1 captures the perfect blend of entertainment, larger-than-life personalities, and unforgettable moments that make professional wrestling so special. Here are some of the highlights from the interview (h/t to Fightful):
The Rock on what event he would show non-fans to explain wrestling:
“Come check out a WrestleMania. Come with me and check out a WrestleMania. We’ve worked for the entire year, storyline after storyline, good vs. bad, ups and downs, ebbs and flows. It’s all going to culminate to this big event in a big stadium. There is going to be fireworks, explosions.”
The Rock on which WrestleMania he would show them:
“WrestleMania 1. Madison Square Garden. Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.”
WrestleMania 1 was definitely a good show that changed the industry.
