Rock in 99 ate Austin alive...had WCW crowds chanting against the Flairs, Goldbergs, nash, Hall..all of them during their main events. They rebelled against the Austin/Cripple H program for him just doing tag team comedy promos. That's bigger than any of your favorite "Talkers" of the last 25 years easily. Macho...Dibiase..Austin..Foley..heel Bret in 97...Hollywood Hogan..Heyman..the Rebel...Vince..Flair..Dusty...no one has ever had that effect on the mic. Thats why he's so emulated to this very day with everyone doing fake People Elbows and trying to make their star bigger on pure mic work. 26 and left everyone in the fukking dust. Rock is a god today because he did more in his first 4 years than Austin, Flair, Hogan, Andre, Macho, the 4 Horsemen, Road Warriors, Dusty did in their first 4 years by miles.
He might not be what he was in 2000 but no one has been even close to him since. Not even a returned Austin and Hogan..because they ran back to him over the Austin return..over the Hogan return...they wanted to use Austin as a buffer for him to face Lesnar back in 2002. Hogan bombed as champion and they made Hogan a loser to tap out to Brock on tv

Rock put over Lesnar and then made Lesnar put him over clean right before WM 19
