The Rock roasts Phoenix during SmackDown and explains why they still cheered

The Rock absolutely went in on Phoenix, Arizona during SmackDown, referencing a study about cocaine and meth use, calling the arena a “crack den with popcorn,” and roasting the crowd as “cactus-loving crackheads.” But the funniest part? Phoenix still kept cheering him. Later on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Rock looked back at the moment and explained how crazy it was that he could insult an entire city and still have the crowd eating it up. Peak Hollywood Rock energy. Video clips used in this edit belong to WWE, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and their respective copyright owners. I do not claim ownership of the original footage.
