Need to get hyped for the CFP national title game? Watch The Rock narrate LSU’s journey.
Hours before Monday’s College Football Playoff national title game, LSU released a hype video package to its official football Twitter account that would have even non-fans wanting to run through a brick wall for the Tigers in New Orleans, the site of the championship.
One of the biggest movie stars in the world, Dwayne Johnson, narrates the roughly two-minute video. Johnson played college football at the University of Miami before following his grandfather and father as a third-generation World Wrestling Entertainment superstar under the name, “The Rock.”
One of his finishers in the squared circle was the Rock Bottom, and he uses that phrase within the first 15 seconds of the LSU hype video.
“The closer I get to the top, the more I think about rock bottom,” Johnson says.
After explaining how Rock Bottom transformed and fortified him (as in LSU), Johnson closed the video with: “I remember rock bottom. That’s why I know where I’m going. So let’s geaux.”
Here’s a look at the full video:
LSU faces Clemson for the CFP title at 8 p.m. on ESPN. The game features two programs donning the Tigers nickname who refer to their home stadiums as Death Valley.
The national championship game is held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
