I was there! This event I will never forget. I begged Moms to take me to see this thing. She actually said yes and we took the Greyhound from T.O. to Hamilton just for this PPV.
I thought I was going to be the only Rock fan in attendance since he was still heel (I couldn't watch every PPV so I didn't know he was already getting face reactions ie: Summerslam 98)
When he came on the screen for his pre-match promo I lost my mind............. but so did the entire Copps Coliseum
The reaction was absolutely ridiculous and I think was the night that forced the E to turn him face (I believe he broke up with the NOD the following night on Raw.) I remembering wondering how JR would react to the pop and it's always funny watching him try to downplay it, but he couldn't with those chants. Even more so when Rock hit that double People's Elbow....... I was
and
simultaneously. That pop
The building was literally shaking. It sounds loud already in the video but it was on another level in person. Even Stone Cold's pop for the Main Event didn't come close.
Probably my favourite moment as a kid watching a live wrestling event.
My bad on the lengthy post it just brought me back to that memory
but that was still my dude regardless
