The WWE on FOX Twitter account asked fans what they thought of when they saw the show’s original logo SmackDown.
This got a response from The Rock, who named Harvey Wippleman aka ‘Downtown Bruno.’ He wrote the following:
“Well clearly the dude who coined the name Smackdown in the first place and eventually, made it so famous it’s now in the Webster’s dictionary…and his name is Downtown Bruno.”
