Crossbody of Work Episode 49: The Rock Part One – Blue Chipper & Corporate Champion

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

Do you smell what The Rock is cookin’? This week starts another three part series for us as we look at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. We start with his debut at the 1996 Survivor Series, and track his rise to winning the WWF Championship two years later. Matches this week include matches against Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, and Triple H. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about: 

• Stalker Barry Windham
• Favorite King of the Ring winners
• Bad puns
• Fans getting random objects over

And a lot more.
