The longest video of 2022(so far). I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving(if you celebrated). I wished to post this early but with a video this long, it's never guaranteed. The Rock's run was nothing short of iconic, he was the guy WWF need in a time where Stone Cold was gone and in many ways, the company did not miss a beat with him as the number 1 guy. What did you think of The Rock's run?
THE ROCK VS ROMAN REIGNS SHOULD HAPPEN AT WRESTLEMANIA 39 THEN MY LIFE WOULD BE COMPLETE ALSO ARGENTINA NEEDS TO WIN THE WORLD CUP
He is the 🐐,the biggest box office draw in wwe history,took wwf to the heights never seen before and never seen again,by mid 99 he was the hottest property in the business,got a show,a PPV and an entire series of video games made just for him,there will never ever be another Rock again,simply the 🐐.
Hhh was the 3rd biggest bk then in the wwe nd top heel, if it wasn't for hhh been in the middle of the rock and Austin sandwich then neither would of had a genuine top guy to fight against and hhh did both of them so I find you saying the rock and Austin been miles ahead of anybody in wwe I have to respectively disagree with that comment, but overall good video nd content
Please do the return of the undertaker’s American badass in judgment day 2000.
The 2000s was 96 bulls HOT and The Rock was the reason why
2000 was really The Rock's year tbh. Everything about him was so charismatic and enigmatic. Anytime he wrestled, it felt like a final in a sports game. Add to that, all the shenanigans and craziness of the Attitude Era, every show was just pure excitement. Plus, The Rock always came clutch in his matches, so there's another positive too.
2000 was also Angle's year if u really think about it
Honorable mentions:
Jericho
Benoit
Eddie Guerrero
Dean Malenko
Undertaker
Kane
Yes I'd agree but Stone Colds return at Backlash 2000 was one of the biggest pops ever in 2000
Yeah but he lost alot
Triple H vs cactus Jack royal rumble, no way out, wins at wrestlmania. Triple H should be mentioned
His 2000's theme song was the best version of his theme song the pop he would get when you hear IF YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN mind blowing
Absolutely
Fr
Na corporate rock theme
@@tavonhughes5857 meh
@@tavonhughes5857 debatable
The Rock in 2000 is legendary, he should’ve won at Wrestlemania 2000, it’s criminal that he never left a wrestlemania with the world title. He lost more in his prime than any top guy in history and still remained over.
It’s rare someone stays hot after a Wrestlemania loss but the Rock was different gravy. Now how did Vince allow the WWE booking to go so bad from 2008 onwards after being part of such a successful time from 1997 onwards is a mystery… Even if the product was PG, you had the characters at the time still. Turning Cena heel in 2012 would’ve had been massive business in my opinion. It would have been Hogan-esque circa Bash at the Beach 1996. Cena could’ve been made the leader of the Shield in a new NWO style faction where he became a chicken sh*t heel. WCW was PG during their successful era so the rating was not the issue.
The Rock’s WrestleMania Record
WM 13- The Sultan aka Rikishi (win)
WM 14- Ken Shamrock (win)
WM 15- Steve Austin (loss)
WM 16- HHH/Foley/Big Show (loss)
WM 17- Steve Austin II (loss)
WM 18- Hulk Hogan (win)
WM 19- Steve Austin III (win)
WM 20- Evolution (loss)
WM 28- John Cena (win)
WM 29- John Cena II (loss)
WM 32- Erick Rowan (win)
The Rock’s WrestleMania record is pretty impressive yet he never left WrestleMania as the World Champion while he entered WrestleMania as a World Champion three times
@@michaelbandada8330 he beat the best of the previous generation, the best of his generation, and the best of the next generation all at wrestlemania. Truely the icon that transcended all eras
He beat this top star of the Golden era in Hulk Hogan he beat the top star of The Attitude Era in Stone Cold Steve Austin and the top star of the Ruthless Aggression / PG era in John Cena all at Wrestlemania
That Backlash 2000 was an epic payoff to the failure of him not winning at WM. I never understand why they booked it the way they did?
I mean like the whole Rumble thing with Big Show was it actually a mistake and they made a great storyline out of it or was it a story from the beginning
The Rock’s verbal castration of his fellow Hell in a Cell opponents is top notch with Rock dissing and mocking his opponents
WWE literally has a playlist dedicated to The Rock’s promos. That lets you know how much of a star he was.
Bro the rock is the 🐐
To see how the crowd was counting in unison when he was pinning hhh at Backlash 2000 always give me goosebumps and a adrenaline rush.
It was simply his Era 🐐.
I’m tryna make it out the hood so on my CZcams channel i do food reviews while I’m super high brotha💯💯
He should’ve won at mania
Should’ve been Him vs HHH
That night was just incredible. Austin’s run in was the cherry on top
The rock in 2000 was so over during this time, I loved every promos he had that year, His matches with Triple H were iconic. Probably one of his best years for sure.
Biggest Wrestling name ever.
He’s was as over as anyone ever possibly imaginable ever could be that year
WWE in 2000 was their best year. And they were able to reach these heights with Austin being out for most of 2000 too.
Facts.
2000 Rock rivals 1999 Austin 🔥
When I was younger this phase annoyed me the rock always was getting cheated but as I got older I realised rock doesn't need a belt he's legend
My all time favorite Vince and rock moment is gotta be when rock was in the limo and he signaled Vince to come closer and proceeds to slap the shit outta him😂😂😂😂😂
This was the run that solidified the rock as my favorite. This is the version of the rock I grew up with, I just loved his rivalry with the McMahon Helmsley era and his matches with triple h. Definitely his peak imo. When you announced this video the hype was real since I really enjoy your attitude era videos.
His 2002 run was pretty good too.
@@DannyBoy426 it was, it’s just that he kind of lost the swagger he had in 2000, he stopped saying most of his catchphrases that made him popular up to that point.
And don't forget the Rock says "Stephanie, your dirty panties welling!!!!!" LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember his main rivalries being with Stone Cold and HHH
@@onesaucynougat7471 he became more animated & comedic in 2002. he started to act more like a show host, instead of a wrestler 😂
It’s great to see that one of my ideas(or a small part of it was used in a video) 14:25 The Benoit v Rock Mini Feud for 2 months
Aside from HHH and Angle, The Rock was WWE's MVP of 2000. The promos and segments were straight fire as he was completely over by the fans while his battles with HHH, Angle and Benoit were amazing. Rock in 2000 was unstoppable.
He was unstoppable ever since mid 98 and his heel turn at Survivor Series 1998 was the final nail in wcw's coffin.
This is the year that put him on Austin's level
He already was on his level
@@damaniresida6439 yeah. maybe he surpassed Austin. Fact...
He was already up there
He was already on Austin's level in late 1999. In 2000 he surpassed Austin.
I started watching wrestling in late 99. It was a good time to be a fan.
Perfect timing to start watching! 1999 and 2000 were my favorite years of WWF.
If we're being honest Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were the two top guys who were the upper echelon in the Attitude Era.
He is the 🐐,the biggest box office draw in wwe history,took wwf to the heights never seen before and never seen again,by mid 99 he was the hottest property in the business,got a show,a PPV and an entire series of video games made just for him,there will never ever be another Rock again,simply the 🐐.
Big facts
What are you on about? The popularity of thr WWF in that era was mostly down to Stone Cold. Biggest draw my ass. Hulk Hogan was a bigger draw than The Rock too. Hogan drew tens of thousands across the 80s. The Rock could never have hoped to do that.
@@Treklosopher yeah he still got more money than you
@@Treklosopher The Rock and Austin whether together and separately both drew more than Hogan. You smoking something strong I see.
@@TyrellDunn just haters,these jabronis can't stop crying on the great ones success and I love that 🤣😂
The match at Backlash between HHH and the Rock was my favorite from that year. The insane pop when the Rock won was incredible. The Rock bottom on the table to Shane and HHH was an awesome spot. I also thought the Rock’s WrestleMania moment should have been at Mania 2000. Rock’s 2000 run was legendary
The latest episodes of Young Rock is getting into 98-2000 Rock
I love that show
The Rock is a different breed man....
Exactly,there is no one like him,simply the 🐐.
The rock as WWE champion for 4 and 5 times underrated
The Rock in 2000 was simply the greatest thing ever created by the WWF. Seeing all of his charisma, the fans being electrifying every time he came out, his matches with the roster at the time were always classics, The Rock was simply the greatest. I truly wish I could’ve experienced this growing up, but I’m grateful to even know about this. Long live The Rock!🤨
The was on a different level,no one has ever reached that,simply the 🐐.
Did you see the corporate Rock? That shit was brilliant too
Regardless of if Austin was absent or not, Rock was that dude. It started end of 99 and by 2000 he was on fire. He was also by far the least ego driven top guy the WWF ever had. He lost more than any top guy ever. Always willing to put talent or established guys over.
Seen you posted a 40 minute video and said “lets go!” You one of the people on here ( im subscribed to A looooot of people) who’s videos i see and immediately watch! God bless man
Thanks bro!
Please do the return of the undertaker’s American badass in judgment day 2000.
Rock (and Chris Jericho) vs. The Regime. Best time of my life as a wrestling fan.
The Rock’s theme song in 2000 was pure Alpha(tho I loved the ‘01 most as it has that welcome back feel..and the guitar that hit in the 2nd “portion” of song)..Rock was truly my favorite wrestler and my GOAT tied with Austin(Austin’s 2000 disturbed theme was also epic!! also) 2000 just solidified him as The Great One
Can't lie. That Rock & Benoit feud was dope man.
Rock was head and shoulder above everyone & was by far the most popular superstar on the roster. However his booking was HORRIBLE : didn't get a clean win at the Rumble, didn't get a proper blowoff win against Triple H who was his biggest rival (It was Vince Mcmahon who took the pinfall lol), lost clean on free tv against Undertaker while being WWF Champion, lost the title to a rookie Kurt Angle, ate the pin in the 6-man in a cell at Armageddon and on top of that, didn't get his crowning moment at Wrestlemania 2000. The fact that he could stay on top despite such a shitty booking blows my mind. If anything, it's a testament of The Rock's greatness
Why do y’all get on here and start lying?? Bad booking according to WHO??? YOU??? Do not bring that 2023 AEW marked out Twitter boys club bullshit to ATTITUDE ERA videos…there are THOUSANDS of comments and YOU are the only person claiming this was bad booking…the booking was FLAWLESS and AMAZING…none of us cared about who should’ve won or lost…the rock losing made his fans angry hating the heel even more..and vice versa…THE ROCK WAS BADLY BOOKED? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF? I swear that Vince McMahon hate is almost worse than LeBron hate…NOBODY ON THIS EARTH HAS EVER SAID THE ROCK WAS BOOKED HORRIBLY…like what? And the fact you think The Rock had no say so in his booking is hilarious to me…the booking was bad to YOU according to YOUR standards..why do you even watch? If everything sucks from then to now WHY ARE YOU WATCHING? Trying to discredit Vince by saying Rock made something out of nothing is PATHETIC…y’all do this today too…when some is bad, it’s Vince but when something is good, it’s the talent…VINCE MADE ROCK FROM SCRATCH AND THAT IS ONE PERSON NOBODY CAN CLAIM HE WAS A STAR ON THE INDIES…THE BIGGEST STAR EVER IN WRESTLING AND HOLLYWOOD…VINCE CREATION…ROCK HAD 75% FULL CREATIVE CONTROL OF HIS CHARACTER…VINCE WAS THE BEST HEEL OF ALL TIME AND ROCK AND STONE COLD WOULD NOT BE HALF OF WHAT THEY SRE WITHOUT VINCE AS THE TOP HEEL…GO AWAY
And people like to debate who the goat is lmao it’s simple
HHH not putting over the rock at mania 16 when that should've been his moment ill never understand that
Backstage politics,they screwed The Rock big time,but he so over at that time,that belt needed the Rock,he would surely have won against austin at wm 17 but he was leaving to film his movie that's why he dropped the belt.
Rock vs HHH at WrestleMania 2000 should have remained a one on one match and as for Big Show and Mick Foley, Big Show will wrestle Kane and Foley remained on the sidelines, “retiring” after losing at No Way Out, until his appointment as the new WWE Commissioner
He should have won at WM 16
2000 for the rock was 1998 for Austin biggest years of their career and helped put them on top, Also with every great baby face you need a great Villian...HHH played that role great in 2000, probably my fav rilvary between the two frm 98 to 2000...2000 put rock and HHH on top with Austin out with an injury..I would like to see a video of their full rilvary...
1999* for Austin was better than 98
@@younggoat9518 popularity wise yes
Austin was the main event in 1998 nobody was on his level
In 1999 the rock was 1b that year
The rock was only a couple of steps behind Austin as far as popularity, and ratings
@@RoyJohnson-gz8bs i agree
This man is my favorite superstar of all time raw after judgment day 2000 was my first episode of wwe anything and how I made sure we was my favorite superstar! A ppv later this is when he started the run winning at king of the ring and not only was his run just so good the company was red hot. By far this is my favorite championship run of all time!! You are goated for this video and is I crown you onr of the best wwe youtubers alive ! 💯💯💪🏾 IFSWTRIC 👨🏽🍳

This video made me remember how hot was Stephanie on the 2000s. Good God have mercy!
I thought I was the only one that caught that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

God I miss the days when not only did we have a present champion. But the titles could be defended (regularly too) on Raw and Smackdown.
Also I just absolutely love how, heel or baby face, it didn't matter. All everyone wanted to do was kill each other and win the Title. No alliances, no teams, just absolute carnage and it's amazing.
14:49-14:53 The Rock joined Hogan and Bret as the only men to be 5 time WWE champion at that point. Austin was a 4 time champion and so was HHH when Rock had won it for a 5th time. Ironically Austin won his 5th title reign at the Rock’s expense aligning with McMahon at WM 17
i can't believe that by WM 17 rock was already the record holder 6 time champ going to the event above hulk and austin and he wasn't even 30 insane 😆
The rock is the goat, and the wwe in 2000 was the greatest year ever and I credit the rock for that
it's to date the most successful profitable year in history
The rock really carried the company on his back in 2000 when stone cold was out. I will argue with anyone when I say rock was bigger than Austin at that time
He was bigger then Austin up until wrestlemania 17, after that they pretty much shared the number 1 spot
2000 is also notable for it being the first year that The Rock spent the entirety of it as a babyface. Yeah, he started out as a face as Rocky Maivia in 1996 when he debuted, but he turned heel only 9 months later in August 97. Rock spent a large chunk of 1998 as a heel in The Nation, and was only a face for two months before turning heel again in The Corporation. Rock started 99 as a heel still with The Corporate team for the first 4 months, and then turned face and stayed that way for the rest of the year. In 2000, Rock was a face the whole time.
The Rock's last year as a full-time competitor .he missed apr-july in 2001 to film the mummy returns, came back and by 2002 again he was gone by april, came back in june and then left again in august.
Late 1999 rock was extremely over, and don’t forget about 2002 rock as well
One of your best videos by far
I wish I could get 2000- Early 2001 Rock Vs Tribal Chief Roman 😩😩
This was HHH and the Rocks year dropping the title to each other 2000
Loved this format of vid
the 🐐 !!!!!!!!
My GOAT 🐐
Brilliant
"Beautiful moonsault on John Cena"
🤣🤣🤣
Perfect timing
Good job on the vid can’t imagine how long it took for it all to come together
Love when he makes attitude era videos.
As a fellow ginger, I love it when you can see Undertaker's red hair. Trust me, it's VERY HARD to cover up red hair. He must have dyed it at least once a week. I'm surprised it didn't fall out.
The Angle, HHH, Steph love triangle was cutting a bit to close to home for HHH even though its entertainment thats how their relationship started for real in a storyline and i think HHH was getting jealous for real about Steph and Kurt
He didn’t think Kurt can beat a guy like him until one of the writers ask can u beat him in a real fight triple h went quiet
@@dwaynejpeterkin yeah that never made sense to me he's an Olympic gold medalist he's one of the most legit guy's ever

42:12 Cena entered the match to get moonsaulted by angle lol.
I legit *LOL* ‘d at the SBMM reference 😂

Just 3 minutes in, but why did you skim over the first 3 months? Did I miss something?
I talked about a lot of it in Triple H's title reign video

GANG
"FINALLY!!!!!!!!"
so many matches with screwy finishes
W video
God I miss these days
Shawn Michaels shorts 🤣
It kinda sucks that The Undertaker never won that specific title as a badass
This was a great way to put the rock over.
I love the rock of all time 😍❤️✊🐂⚡🥰
I think what I’m more curious about are the chants directed at Shane McMahon are.
40:09 beautiful moonsault lands on john cena lmaooo what???
The Rock slap causing weird booking is a theory I can get behind.
Please do the return of the undertaker’s American badass in judgment day 2000.
When Austin came back in 2000 he couldn’t get his spot back coz Rock & Triple H were permanent main eventers and took WWF to another level.
Bruh nobody could take his spot
You're late but great vid though
During the rock’s apex Triple H would finesse a lot of undeserved title wins at the rock’s expense, backstage politics its corny asf. its a good thing rock didn’t need the title to be the main star. 2000 was the highest rated year in wwe with numbers rivaling dbz
exactly 💯 HHH was a forced main eventer. it wasnt organic like the new generation may think
It’s hard to tell if that backstage segment between Shawn Michaels and The Rock was scripted when The Rock was already talking trash to Shawn before the camera was on them but Shawn still found a way to screw The Rock out of the title when that accidentally hit to Shawn off of the side of the ring from The Rock wasn’t that hard to keep Him down while the McMahons and DX was jumping The Rock but all of a sudden Shawn was back on His feet when The Undertaker came out to help The Rock and The Undertaker gave the Tombstone to Triple H after the final buzzer went off that had Me thinking The Rock was going to call out Shawn to the ring to finally have a physical altercation but it didn’t happen which I understand why but dang it that would’ve been so amazing
The rock was more over then stone cold I just watch all raw episodes from 1997 to 2001
I did not know that John Cena was in 2000
Austin
Rock
Undertaker
Kurt Angle
HHH
KANE
2000 rock was the best but after 2001 he became skinny like he lost weight
I never understood why Triple H didn't get dq when Road Dogg X-Pac attacked The Rock
It’s either Shawn was knocked out and when he recovered, he saw Undertaker attacking Triple H or maybe…
He’s helping a fellow DX brother win the match and the strap and as far as Shawn Michaels’ career as a guest referee goes, it’s shady as heck with Undertaker, Rock and Daniel Bryan getting screwed big time
@@michaelbandada8330 he always been a shady ref
Rock vs. Benoit - worst main event of the year
John Cena? 😂
B
Uhmmm I need to correct here... You said who ever came 3rd was so far down. I am assuming you are referring to 1999 here, well in 1999 Mic Foley was just as popular as Rock. Triple H was not too far either. Both Triple H and Mick got just as much tv time as rock, which should be indication of how popular they were.
You are usually on point, but don't underestimate the popularity of the rest of the roster in 1999.
A punk son of a *pop* lmao
