This clash showed just how nasty and mean The Rock can get. His performance on that night will never be forgotten. He went into wild-mode and destroyed Mankind. If you can recall he had him handcuffed and after that, he dealt numerous hits with a chair. In the head! After the beating was done, Mankind lied on the ground with his head in a bloody mess, with The Rock standing above him with the microphone. He uttered the words: I quit!
This match signaled that Johnson is no longer all about humor and catchphrases. He became a man that was ready to unleash violence on every opponent. Because of this, the match against Mankind was crucial for The Rock’s evolution.
