The People's Elbow

It was 1999 and Triple H was fighting the British Bulldog with the WWF Championship on the line. The added twist was that Dwayne Johnson was the guest referee of the match. Unsurprisingly, The Rock did very little of refereeing and more of being The Rock as he attacked both Triple H and the British Bulldog. An iconic moment transpired later in the match when Dwayne Johnson set up the British Bulldog for a People's Elbow. As he came back from the second rope to deliver the elbow, Johnson slipped on the ring and managed to regain his composure almost unbothered and delivered a People's Elbow. Here is the footage of that moment, as posted by a WWE fan account.
