The Rock took to Twitter on Friday to give credit to none other than Harvey Wippleman for coming up with the term “smackdown”.
The Rock re-tweeted a post from the official WWE on FOX account that referenced the original SmackDown logo. He captioned the tweet with,
“Easy answer. C’mon @WWE.
The superstar who this show was named after.
The superstar responsible for “Smackdown” officially becoming a word in the
@MerriamWebster
dictionary.
And that superstar is…
Harvey Whippleman aka Downtown Bruno!
