Does anyone know when exactly 'Rocky Mavia' became 'The Rock'? I tried looking for videos on Youtube without luck.

I don't know the specific time, but I do remember it was sometime in late 1997, when he became part of The Nation of Domination. Announcers used to call him Rocky Maivia for months after, like at Wrestlemania 14 but he cut a promo around the time of the nation where we were to address him as "The Rock"
