The Rock: "Now on to 'Badd Ass' Billy Gunn. The Rock understands what took place. The night you won King of the Ring, you got down on your knees, put your little hands together and said a prayer, and it sounded like this: 'Oh Dear God, you see, my name's Billy. And I just won King of the Ring. But there's just one problem: everyone still thinks that I ABSOLUTELY SUCK!'

And then at that point, Billy, your house started to shake, the heavens opened up and God Himself spoke to you and said: 'Bob...' 'But my name's Billy...' 'IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! You are absolutely right. You do suck. But there is one thing and one thing only that you can do. You must go find the man that is simply electrifying. You must go find The Rock.'

'Oh but God, anybody but the Ro..' 'KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!' And then as fear went through your body, tears went down your cheek and piss rolled down your leg, your house started to shake again, the clouds parted and the heavens opened. And what seemed like millions... of voices said to you in unison, jabronie, 'If ya smelllll what the Rock... is cookin'!"

[10.0] "Ended Billy Gunn in one promo. Something only 1999 Rock could do. And the shirt he's wearing here is just blasphemous. God I miss the Attitude Era"

[3.0] "If Billy's chances of winning were 1 in 100, after this promo they became 1 in 1.000.000. I didn't laugh, I didn't like it; all I could think was, "Nice way to sacrifice KOTR" or "I hope this awkwardness ends quickly." Sadly, The Rock wanted to come across as a poet with his typical taunts, but that doesn't work on me."

[10.0] "This promo has WAY more to it than I remember. It has been said so much already, but this has to be one of the very best Rock promos of all time, and not just because he absolutely demolished this entire thing for Billy Gunn. Just the way he paraphrases things as God talking to Billy and just everything that follows. An absolute all-timer of a promo that cracks me up every single time."

[10.0] "Easily one of the most hilarious promos of all time that does a great job showcasing the Rock's ability to use storytelling and humor to make a promo that not only entertains, but decimates anyone he's facing. An iconic promo from one of (if not the) best at it doing his best."

[9.0] "It's very silly and very entertaining. The Rock was a master of being funny and then being serious and sometimes in the same promo."

[9.0] "Great example of Rock's humour. His catchphrases are used really well and don't feel shoehorned in, the switch between his impression and his regular voice is hilarious, and the burial is so legendarily epic I'd wager it's the first thing some people think of when they think of Billy."
