Hot take: "smell what the rock is cooking" is a terrible catchphrase
It sounds like hes talking about his farts.
He's going to fart on other wrestlers.
Thats just rude.
Fire this man.
You complain about the Rock cooking and yet all these years later kids are saying "let them cook", curious
Let the Rock cook.
And then smell it
What if the rock he's cooking is crack cocaine
The Rock and Bernie Sanders are celebrity crackheads.
Very common crackhead joke to make while cooking up crack.
My partner and I would say "can you smell what the rock is cooking" when we suspected that our baby had shit and needed changing
Cooking on hot rocks (usually placed in a hole in the ground and sometimes also buried over) is a traditional thing across Polynesia, which is where The Rock is from. I don’t think the writers or show runners at the WWE are clever enough to come up with that themselves, but maybe it’s something he suggested to them?
That would be cool if that turns out to be why, to be honest.
I've had a hāngī before and it was so good
me getting stoned
We made that joke in the 3rd grade when The Rock was new to wrestling.
mr rock sir your fired
Mr The Rock, please.
hes fired
IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS A TERRIBLE CATCHPHRASE
Listen jabroni, I will not tolerate such slander President Dwayne Johnson will lay a smackdown on your candy ass.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR TAKE IS
loud cheering and hooting
I can smell what the rock is pooping
As opposed to "open up a can of whoop ass?"
More like open a can of fart ass
I always imagined him cooking stone soup
While dungeon crawling, mayhaps?
Counterpoint: Can you?
Daily reminder that Vince McMahon is a worker-abusing piece of shit
Yeah he's a real shithead
i like when he called people a candyass
like what, is he saying your ass is sweet and he wants to eat it
What everyone wants to hear
big agree. why would a rock be cooking? those things have nothing to do with each other
Death to America
Honestly just goes to show how much charisma the rock had back then. He could get the shitties of catch phrases over, and people didn't even notice
He's the People's Champion, and the people like farts
Absolutely
I now wonder how often farts occurred during wrestling matches. At least in the 80s most of them were on a lot of blow, which makes your bowels pretty active.
Speaking of which, he is specifically named on this list as sponsored by Israel.
