Hurricane Helms Recalls His Reaction To Beating The Rock

Hurricane Helms was one of the most popular characters during his time in WWE. The superhero gimmick went a long way with the fans and it remains a very memorable character.

One of the most fondly remembered moments of his WWE run was when he beat The Rock on Raw in 2003. Helms recently recalled finding out he was going to win, courtesy of Alex McCarthy on Twitter.

I was in a hotel. I came back to a missed call from The Rock saying, ‘Me and you are going to main event Monday night in Cleveland and you’re going over. Have your bumping shoes on!’ I remember thinking ‘this is a f*cking rib'”.

One would imagine the thoughts going through Helms’ mind when it set it that he would be pinning The Rock. The two had a much more competitive match than you would expect and it culminated with Helms pinning The Rock with a schoolboy following a distraction from Steve Austin.

The Rock and Hurricane Helms would go on to have a minor feud until WrestleMania XIX. Helms was a side-character in The Rock’s rivalry with Steve Austin and he would pop up again in segments such as The Rock’s Rock Concert in Sacramento.
