Charles Barkley says The Rock is must-watch television.
The Rock returned to WWE ahead of WrestleMania XL, showing up on a near weekly basis to help build his WrestleMania XL tag team match. The Rock brought new fans in and old fans back thanks to his success in Hollywood.
Charles Barkley was among the people who had to tune in when The Rock was on TV.
"I've been watching y'all for the past few months. Has The Rock got the best personality, charisma on television? Roman, Cody, all those guys are fantastic, but The Rock has the best. He has that thing. When you see a player and you're like, 'He's different than everybody else.' When you see The Rock perform, you're like, 'Man, he's good.' His personality, when he's talking, you're like, I have to watch him. I love Cody. I love Seth Freakin' Rollins. I love Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso, but The Rock, when he's on television, he's always had it, but for him to come back and do his thing like he did the last couple of months, I'm like, 'Damn, man,' he has the charisma bug," Barkley said on the Pat McAfee Show.
He continued, "I was impressed. I've known him, we're not great friends, but I've known him for a long time, and when I saw him, I was like, 'Hey has that thing,' and when he's working, I want to watch. He plays the heel perfectly. His charisma, it's an honor."
The Rock competed at WrestleMania XL Saturday, teaming with Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins.
