That was delightful! I'm shocked that an Elvis fan like The Rock (with his resources) hasn't been to Graceland before now. Here he is riffing on the King in a promo all the way back in 1999.

Watched that in a bit of a dusty room.

I knew Elvis colored his hair (as did Roy Orbison) but I had never actually seen a picture of him with the lighter color.

He was clearly having A Moment.

It is strange to think that we might not deserve The Rock, but I would like you entertain the idea that it is possible.

I grew up a huge Elvis fan and as a little boy we lived in a trailer park not too far from Graceland and we’d drive by these gates all the time - and I’d sit, stare and dream.

You know, I kind of get why he waited this long.
