  • Two legit classics (Ladder match at Summerslam 98, Iron Man Match in 00)
  • Mic battles had the crowd all the way turnt, Rock's best face promos and nuclear heat for Trips and Steph
  • Held it down for the company in a big way while the top guy was out for a long time w/an injury
Yet it feels like an afterhought when ppl wax nostalgic about the AE

I think it gets overlooked because both were on the rise. I think it gets overshadowed by the dx blackface skit

You can't marry the boss's daughter, attain great 'success' due to that connection and expect everyone to 'respect' you. HHH was always a midcarder and had no business in the main event scene. He's the primary reason I stopped watching wrestling around 2003-2004 (don't remember which year). He hog all the TV time with his long, boring monologues. Rather see Shane McMahon do ECW-esque spots.

Facts. Going through old YouTube clips with his feuds is such a chore to get through if you try to sit through his monologues for context.

Austin vs Rock drew more money obviously but they only really ought at and around Wrestlemania so it was never a long feud and you can tell there wasn't any real animosity there.

The HHH and Rock feud had both longetivity and real hostility between the two. Them dudes really didn't care for one another lol
