Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes
By Mark Lynch
3. The Rock
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. He has more recognizable quotes than maybe anyone in wrestling history. He’s used them to embarrass everyone he’s gotten into an exchange with. Chris Jericho became one of The Rock’s victims during his WWF debut. The Rock just slaughtered him on the microphone and left Jericho befuddled.
The Rock’s also one of the reasons why the WWF didn’t tank during the Monday Night Wars. Now, The Rock goes by his real name (Dwayne Johnson.) He’s a Hollywood megastar making money and putting butts in movie seats. Nonetheless, whenever he comes to a WWE event, you’re in for a show. He comes to the ring and it’s always memorable. You may not find a better pure entertainer than The Rock.
Loki
Loki isn’t as physically intimidating as The Rock, but let’s not forget that Loki is a god. With that comes superhuman strength. Steve Rogers went up against Loki (The Avengers) and couldn’t physically take him down. What makes them so similar is their mouth. Loki and The Rock have silver tongues. They can talk their way into or out of any situation.
They’re both known for betraying their team. The Rock has been part of the Corporation, Nation of Domination, has been the People’s Champ. At some point, he’s betrayed them all. No matter who either of these guys betray, the fans love them. People still chant the Rock’s name and fans still dress as Loki during comic cons. Who would’ve thought these two could be compared?
