Tonight, Impact Wrestling presented the Slammiversary PPV, with the card featuring a string of much-anticipated bouts, including a TNA World Heavyweight title match, contested between Moose and ECW legend Tommy Dreamer under "old school rules". At one point doing the match, Moose dropped Dreamer on a pile of chairs with a Uranage, which bears a striking resemblance with the Rock Bottom, a move used prominently by WWE legend The Rock during his in-ring career.

Moose soon took to Twitter and responded to a GIF featuring the move. He dubbed it as a Rock Bottom and gave a shout out to The Great One.
The Rock seemed quite thrilled with the move and responded to Moose's message with an encouraging tweet of his own. Check it out below:
When all was said and done, Moose connected a Lights Out on Dreamer and picked up the victory to retain his TNA World Heavyweight title.
The Rock popularised the move during his heyday
The Rock made his way to WWE in the mid-90s and soon turned into one of the biggest Superstars in the company, and pro-wrestling as a whole. He included two incredibly popular moves in his arsenal: The People's Elbow, and The Rock Bottom. The Brahma Bull has won several big matches with the help of the latter.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
