The Rock was overrated. Explain why he isn't.

@Paige is Hot the only thing "the rock" is good for now is making movies thats where he belongs not back in the ring unless he surprises the wwe at survivor series and helps Cena's team

Kane was innovative :dafuq:

He was a red Undertaker with a mask.

Kane sees the needle in the fog.
The suits relate to Kane. Kane was flawed, but Kane was also intelligent. More people relate to Kane than Dwayne.
The Rock was superficial. There was nothing to invest in. He was Austin's lacky, held on for a bit of glory and than fell off.

 

[The GOAT]

lol @ Kane taking the business to new heights. No. Just no. He just doesn't have the type of personality that can captivate a worldwide audience like The Rock's can. And what could be more pretentious than talking about "smarter" fans when it comes to pro wrestling. No one watches wrestling because they're looking for sophisticated entertainment and there's nothing inherently intelligent about Kane's on-screen persona anyhow. He's a (B-) horror movie monster. Another problem is that Kane would have never wanted to be "The Guy." He claims he's turned down championship reigns in the past because he prefers putting people over while letting others bask in the main spotlight.

As for The Rock, he was the prototype of a total package superstar. He had great skills inside the ring (great fluidity and timing, psychology, ability to adapt to any style of wrestling and have a good/great match with anyone, etc.), was one of the very best on the mic and could control a crowd like none other, objectively was one of the biggest draws and attractions of all-time, etc. He's not everyone's cup of tea (no one ever is), but it should be clear why he was beloved by millions.

I couldn't disagree more about The Rock. None of those things seemed apparent to me.
Kane is plenty intelligent. WWE severely dumbed him down for some of the reasons you mentioned.
Had Kane been given the green light in late 2000, his intelligence would have been realized instead of suppressed.
The Rock star was falling which is why couldn't garner any sympathy in his match with Austin at WM 17.
The fans wanted smarter material, which is why the Attitude Era died. Kane, back then, still had potential.

The Rock was a low rate knuckle head. WM 17 was in Texas, but rising star like the Rock should have overcome.

Obviously Paige is Hot did not smell what the rock is cooking?

 

[Leo C]

Well, I didn't watch him circa 2000 but his last run sucked, yeah.

 

[Tgmiveld]

You're acting as if all wrestling fans are smarter fans, or in a similar regard, smarks/marks. They're not.

Maybe for you lad

You cosplay lot are not as smart as you think your are.

Us real wrestling fans are smart though, at the end of the day.

Keep going there, buddy.

The Rock was/is an awesome talker, great athlete and good wrestler, fantastic entertainer overall. So no, not overrated at all. OP is trying to discredit him with a bunch of "what if"s, and it's rather hilarious.

 

[Red Rain]

The Rock is a lame talker. He always has been and always will be.

 

[u_cant_c_me]

ROCK needs to stay out of the ring and keep making movies he is getting to old and @Paige is Hot I agree the rock is a Lame talker Lol
