This may be a bit controversial but Austin was better on the mic than Rock. Rock was elite don't get me wrong. But his stuff could run dry with an over reliance on catchphrases.
Rock NEVER dropped heat like this
"Pink tights, what the hell is that all about?!
"
"Sunglasses and sparklers
....what a load of crap
"
"You lost to Shawn Michaels, the pretty boy
the boy...
toy kicked your ass back to Canada
"
"I ain't no sexy boy
I don't dance son
"
"I'm gonna take 7 years of frustration and being pissed off out on YOUR ass!
"
"Think about it like this Bret
you can finally go home look yourself in the mirror and get a little peace of mind because you will know you were indeed beaten by a REAL man.
