The Rock still has a good relationship with The People’s Eyebrow.
He began popping his eyebrow on a regular basis in the WWE during the Attitude Era. Christening it “The People’s Elbow”, it became a key part of The Rock’s character during this period in wrestling.
The name first came about in 1998 and is still a huge part of him 26 years on.
Appearing on 360 With Speedy, The Rock was asked about his view on people asking him to do “The People’s Eyebrow” on a regular basis. He revealed that he understands why and he always has fun with it when asked.
He went on to explain that he gets asked three things to do by the fans. Those are: singing “You’re Welcome” from Moana, doing the People’s Eyebrows and asking them if they smell what The Rock is cooking, all of which he does gleefully.
“I get it. People ask me that all the time, right? ‘Do the eyebrow! Do the eyebrow!’. I’ll always have fun with it. I mean, that look—I did that stuff in high school. That’s where it comes from. It was my way of just messing with girls, you know, like, ‘Come on!’ That kind of thing. And then, somehow, I took that into WWE, and in some wacky way, it turned into this iconic thing with The Rock character.
“So, here are the three things I always get asked: ‘Can you sing You’re Welcome from Moana?’, ‘Do the eyebrow,’ and ‘Do the If you smell…!‘ You know, that kind of thing. Yeah, I’ve got a good relationship with all that, man.”
The Rock: WrestleMania 40 Was Like Being Home, Sitting On TKO Board Is Full-Circle Moment
The Rock felt like he was home after appearing at WrestleMania 40.
He appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie Red One. He spoke about WrestleMania 40, calling it a “great time”.
“That’s such a great time. You know, I mean, with Cody, Seth, and Roman—it was just wild. I grew up in that world of pro wrestling, and there’s nothing like when that music hits and the crowd goes crazy.”
Jimmy Fallon asked The Rock if coming out at WrestleMania 40 felt like being home.
“Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. You can connect because, you know, I grew up in the world of pro wrestling, and I followed the careers of my grandfather and my dad. My grandfather and dad used to wrestle up here at the Garden in the ’70s. And then, here I come along, not trying to screw anything up with their legacy.
“And then, all of a sudden, you know, the business has grown into what it’s grown into. TKO now owns WWE, and I have the honor of sitting on the board of TKO. So, what a full-circle moment. It’s crazy, man.”
