Attitude Era Classic: Rock/Austin No DQ at Backlash '99

[MenacingMonk]

Saw this last night for the first time since it happened about 15 years ago ().



These 2, man. The camera spot is greatness. Forgot how entertaining the Rock was. I think this was the 3rd meeting on PPV they had.

Rock turns back to see Austin is back up "....oh shyt..." Stunner!

 

[Da King]

Era will never be topped

GKNL 1999

 

[Slickback Jones]

a muthaphukkin wild classic!

 

[Roid Jones]

Everything, the lead up to the bout, the bout itself, what happened afterwards was classic

I remember dying laughing at Rock talking shyt to Stone Cold on that bridge and then to actually beat his ass (because its usually give and take) and throw that piece of trash in the river along with the best but before sending him on his way telling him "you go to hell! *smack*"....

the goat
JR "enough's enough dammit! get em back in the ring dammit "



@ 20:46 "you go directly to hell and take this with you, compliments of the rock "

 

[PortCityProphet]

WWE is so sterile compared to the attitude. Got neutered by Benoit, Sponsor, and WWE trying to simplify the product.

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

I miss the old WWE/WWF

 

[OmegaK2099]

best build up ever, austin shows up in a monster truck, then knocks the rock six feet deep



rock sold the hell out of that ass kicking

 

[Lord Scion]

That match and the buildup to it shyts on their WM 15 encounter from a distance

WM15 of course had the beer bath on its lead up which of course is a classic. But Rock with the funeral, Austin with the monster truck, the bridge encounter, Austin tearing up the titantron plus the match itself was

 

[HipHopStan]

A much better, and more fun match than their match at WrestleMania the previous month.

If that happened nowadays Cole would go "OH MY.... YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME?"

Backlash is fukking awesome. literally every backlash in it's run before they retired it was fire...it's definitely my favorite ppvs other than Mania and almost rumble.
