At what point did The Rock surpass Steve Austin and become the biggest star in wrestling and the #1 guy?

When Austin was out in 2000?

EDIT: Although I guess a case could be made that he never surpassed Austin.

never surpassed Austin.
As much of a GOAT Rock was
Stone Cold was THE GOAT in every business sense merchandise, ratings, promos

The Rock transcended beyond wrestling into superstardom. so if you wanna argue when he surpassed Austin, it was after their wrestling careers ended

He outgrew Austin in 99. Him on top made more money than any other year in the Attitude Era(2000).

Common sense wise? Look at the booking..pretty much since the night after Backlash 99, the Rock was undeniable and just outranked in pro wrestling. Left the nwo, Taker, Goldberg in the dust. And you heard who the crowd was rooting for leading into Survivor Series 99..nuff said.

Case to be made? Put it like this..if they thought Hogan vs Austin was one of a kind..they would of made it but they didn't. Case solved.
