The elbow drop is a bit tough to pull off in a movie in a way that feels organic.
As opposed to The Rock’s other signature move, the Rock Bottom, which he once gave to Jason Statham in a Fast and Furious movie.
Seeing a giant gorilla drop an elbow on a massive alligator is just the sort of fun insanity that made Rampage a great movie, and the meta-ness of seeing George bust out an old wrestling move from the Rock would have been perfect.
As somebody who was a fan of The Rock back in the WWE days, I’m now a little bummed that I was paying too much attention to Dwayne Johnson’s character in the foreground and thus missed this reference in the background.
