5 moments that cemented The Rock's WWE legacy

#2 The Rock overcame WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 19

The Rock and Stone Cold were two of the biggest superstars during the Attitude Era.

The duo had some memorable bouts at WrestleMania, with The Rattlesnake getting the better of The People's Champion at WrestleMania 15 and WrestleMania 17. Stone Cold turned heel after the second contest as Vince McMahon helped him inch to victory to everyone's surprise.

At WrestleMania 19, the two legends locked horns again, with The Rock having much to prove, having been beaten on two previous occasions.

The Great One hit two Rock Bottoms on The Rattlesnake but was unable to get the pin. After a third Rock Bottom, he finally won, exacting revenge on Stone Cold to cement his legacy further in WWE.

#1 The Rock trounced John Cena at WrestleMania 28 in one of the greatest comebacks

The contest with John Cena at WrestleMania 28 saw The Rock return to in-ring action after a gap of almost eight years. He hung up his wrestling boots back in 2004 to focus on his acting career.

The Rock interfered in John Cena's match against The Miz at the previous WrestleMania in 2010, costing him the WWE title. As a result, the Cenation Leader challenged The Rock to a match at next year's Showcase Of The Immortals. The match was billed as a "Once In A Lifetime" contest.

Despite not having wrestled for so long, the Great One looked in great shape and put up a praiseworthy performance. John Cena tried his very best to put The People's Champion down, even attempting The Rock's own People's Elbow move on him.

In the end, The Great One won after hitting Rock Bottom on the Cenation Leader. The Rock's performance indeed showed that he would never forget his past, truly making him the best in the pro wrestling business.
