Game Tapes RAW: Xbox - Bill Gates/The Rock (01/06/2001)

Things haven't really changed.

This Xbox thing seems really promising. Going to pre-order mine right now.

This was the worst one, why did you do this. I physically recoiled from the pure awkwardness of this part and actually closed the window.

FINALLY... THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO RED-MONNNNNNDDDDDD

Little known fact: The Rock is WAY into Blinx The Time Sweeper. Like, fanfic and cosplay level into it. The whole Rock vs. Stone Cold feud started because Stone Cold thought Bubsy was the only video game cat mascot the world would ever need, but Rock knew that one day a video game would come out that would not only match Bubsy's mediocrity, but be at least twice as forgettable.

And dammit, he was right.

[citation needed]

This was when I realized The Rock and Barack [Obama] have basically the same accent.

Thank you for sharing this beauty. There is so much I didn't pay attention to back then. Please keep these videos coming.

To see The Rock tell Bill Gates that it doesn't matter what *he* thinks is something that needs to be seen.

So good! Glad these are being preserved.

The Rock on one-fifth of his power....is that Roman Reigns?

Lame. I was hoping that Stone Cold would run from backstage and trash the xbox. If you're gonna bring out a wrestler it is negligent to not bring out a wrestler to interrupt the first wrestler.

I'm glad they played his theme music when he left the stage.

@andrewjplant: There goes my ability to not notice that.

This is somehow even worse than The Room...

That theme song is so good.

The Rock was on fire XD

It would be SO AMAZING for them to bring The Rock back for an E3 sometime soon........ :D

Meanwhile Scott Steiner showcases the Playstation 2.

Now that you mention it, I think they might be the same person.

merry easter xbox

rock seems like he's having a good time with the gig

@shindig: *points at Xbox* IT'S FAT!!

Thanks for loading these videos for posterity; Giant Bomb helping to do it's part to preserve our video game heritage. Even the bits we'd rather forget...

'The Rock' to you Bill

Is there anyone in the world more comfortable in front of a crowd?
