With Super Bowl 56 taking place in Los Angeles, all the stars are out in full force. Among the celebrities taking part in the pregame festivities, former football player and wrestler turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson provided epic introductions for the Los Angeles Rams, Cincinnati Bengals and the Super Bowl.
Standing on the field with a microphone in hand, Johnson addressed the crowd with his WWE style enthusiasm. After waiting for the applause to die down, he gave a memorable introduction.
“Finally, the Super Bowl has come back to Los Angeles,” Johnson started. “It is time. Time for a team to unleash a soul-crushing, unrelenting defense, a head-spinning onslaught of an offense, and take care of unfinished business. Right here, right now. Ladies and gentlemen, the champions of the NFC, your Los Angeles Rams”
After pausing for the applause to die down once more, Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson continued with his introduction for the Super Bowl’s visiting team.
“It is time,” Johnson continued. “Time for a team that has risen from the ashes to become one of the most feared, dominant, absolutely electrifying teams in the NFL. Time to give their city their first Super Bowl win in franchise history. Ladies and gentlemen, the champions of the AFC, your Cincinnati Bengals.”
After once more pausing, he delivered his final address before kickoff.
“It is time,” said Johnson. “It is time for all of us here, and millions around the world to bear witness to these incredible players, who will leave every ounce of sweat, guts, and pride, and legacy on this hallowed field, because that is what champions do. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to say, finally it is time for the Super Bowl.”
