  1. He could have started up the steps and turned back, or gone up really close and whispered something to him. Both would likely have resulted in Smith being the bigger man. But, as it is, Rock is the bigger man.

  2.  @Andreamom001  Honestly, I can definitely see that. Still illegal, but at least there is a way of looking at it where somebody that angry could rationalize it.

  3. TBH, it wouldn't surprise me if it was an unplanned stage slap with just enough on it to cause some redness. There's a rather large wind up from Smith and it looks like Rock is trying to dodge out of the way as he's being hit. But, it could also just be a larger than normal slap and Rock probably wasn't expecting anybody to be dumb enough to pull a stunt like that in front of such a large audience.

  4.  @tinamoul  Perhaps, but why would he care? You're not his audience.
