How many wrestlemanias has the rock been in

There were a few minutes of quality banter, 6 seconds of unblemished action, and a hot crowd. This one has not aged well. Michael Cole 3 minutes in declares it the greatest main event in Wrestlemania history and it's that type of overblown hype that sums this entire thing up. Watching all these matches close together you see The Rock's badly degraded ring prowess and John Cena 's inability to make up the difference.

Age comes for everyone and despite his immaculate physique, Rock is either not in 'ring-shape' or has severe 'ring-rust'. Lengthy, boring headlocks, bearhugs a lying down bearhug at that , and slow plodding action sucks the crowd right down almost from the bell.

Only Cena's perpetual divisive relationship with the fans keeps them involved when things mildly pick up in the latter stages. Cena's mockery of an STF takes up most of the endgame until a quick flurry of action and finisher spams closes things out. Cole was also in career-low form with the over-praising here.

Only crowd volume and bells and whistles can bamboozle this effort into seeming more than what it sadly was. The Rock's, or Rocky Maivia's in this case, first Wrestlemania match isn't much to write home about. Hints of the soon-to-be ubiquitous 'Rocky Sucks' chants can be heard every few minutes. Rocky has one of the most hilariously bad punch wind-ups in wrestling history that does his father's version no justice. Vince praises Rocky's heritage ironically while his cousin Rikishi is portraying The Sultan right next to him.

His epic feud with Stone Cold at WrestleMania spanned five years, with three matches taking place in that time. Dwayne Johnson is someone who has been successful at just about everything he has ever done because he works his ass off to make sure it happens, so expect him to leave it all in the ring on Sunday. But, before we watch The Rock and Cena duke it out again, let's take a trip down memory lane and look at The Rock's complete history at WrestleMania throughout the years.

Rocky made his WrestleMania debut at WM13, defending his Intercontinental title against The Sultan, who was actually his real-life cousin Rikishi under a strange mask. The stipulation in the match was that if The Rock got disqualified he could lose the title, but in a twist fans saw Rocky actually retain by DQ.

The Rock and Stone Cold have a long history at WrestleMania, and this was just the first step in that journey. The Rock was unsuccessful for the second year in a row at the big event, putting him at a record. All four of these men were at the top of their game at this point in their careers, and it comes across in the match they put on for the fans. Once again, Rocky came up short against the more seasoned Austin, losing his title to him for the second time.
