A WWE Hall of Famer recently called out The Rock and expressed his dislike for one of The Final Boss' signature moves. Rob Van Dam initially didn't want to name-drop someone when discussing the "art of punching" in pro wrestling.

In a recent video uploaded on his YouTube account, RVD opened up about punches in wrestling and how they work. From making it look like it hurts to how to keep your opponent safe.

The former WWE champion eventually discussed some of the worst punches in wrestling based on his opinion. He threw in The Rock's name and explained how The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment doesn't have the best punch inside the squared circle.

"I hate The Rock's punches. He boom, he uses like this (palm part of the hand) and does like a rolling thing on your forehead. Anyway, you know what I mean? A lot of people like grab the guy and then they f*cking like punch like their own hand and they have to hold the guy's chin for every punch. Basically, there's so many guys that are so over that throw sh*tty, sh*tty punches. That's why I didn't get it," RVD said. [From 2:03 - 2:26]

One of The Rock's signature moves was his "slap punch," wherein he throws a bunch of punches before spitting on his palm and striking his opponent to make him fall on the mat or outside the ring.
