I''ve had this DVD since it came out, but I guess I just never paid attention to how pro-Lesnar/anti-Rock the crowd was. The "Rocky Sucks" chants were pretty loud and constant.

Were they boo'ing him on RAW in the weeks leading up? I dont remember it happening.

Not really booing him on raw, but this is when he started to do more movies and leaving which caused the fans to turn on him more with SS being the apex. Also didnt help that Brock was just a dominant ass monster people wanted to cheer

People started to get tired of the Rock during this time. His whole shtick had gotten stale as fukk. Gay strudel jokes, same ol catchphrases...shyt got tiresome. The fact that he was bout to leave and do movies damn sure aint help either

By the end of the match, there was no doubt who the streets was ridin with...

Yeah, I remember that one. He got booed a lot. As far as him getting booed on the Raw's leading up, nah not at all. Matter of fact, I was in attendance at the episode in Norfolk, Va. the week before Summerslam and we loved him.

There was no proof of anybody getting "tired of his act". Just a Long Island thing of trying to be different when it was known that he was definitely putting Lesnar over. Lesnar was getting Goldberg chants every single week and was getting more heat than Cripple H after he turned on Michaels with his pink polos and weird promos to build that match.

This is pretty hilarious though. I mean...Michaels got turned on horribly for Sid Vicious during his first year as a maineventer, CM Punk got turned on for Batista and Jeff Hardy outright and was met with silence several times during his World title run, The Rock came back in 2001 and Kurt Angle was basically forgotten by the fans in the aftermath, Cripple H never got over the hump of being a being mega face in 2002 because they loved Rock and Austin more, the fans OUTRIGHT chose Austin and the Rock over the Undertaker from 1998-2001 in several matches/promos, the fans turned on Hulk Hogan at Rumble 92, the fans shytted on Mick Foley during that Flair match like he was a nobody, Steiner got BORING chants out of this world at two straight PPVs in early 2003, Brock Lesnar got booed out of pro wrestling in 2004 in humilating fashion during one of the laziest worked matches in history, fans were chanting Rocky nonstop during tag matches with Rock and Austin in late 99 as if Austin wasn't even there, DX got turned on for the Nation at Summerslam 98, Michaels got BOOED out like a idiot against Jericho at Great American Bash 08 and Benoit at WM XX, fans were chanting ROCKY during 1999 WCW title matches..it's all semantics. The Rock can get booed a million times but he's gonna draw like no one else going because he's a international icon.

That footage on the DVD was the only time we've seen any of it. Pretty much went down how the write up said though.
