Yeah because I witnessed that era and consider myself so lucky that I was actually the part of that era. I am lucky that I witnessed so many WWE superstars in that era which we cannot find today in the present era. I consider myself even more lucky to witness the era of 2 biggest superstars in the history of WWE (WWF at that time) in the likes of Stone Cold and The Rock. I consider SCSA as number 1 and my most favorite and The Rock number 2 and my 2nd favorite in the history of WWE.

@@dreamshakejunya Businesswise, it would've made no sense to have Rock go over Austin in their previous matches other than WM17. And that wasn't gonna happen cause Rock was leaving to film 'The Scorpion King. Before that, Austin was always the bigger star and should've been the one going over. Rock was supposed to get the belt back from Austin in 99, but he started getting over as a heel, so they turned him babyface and his program with Austin came to an end. They were also supposed to fued in 2000 with Austin as the heel, but Austin needed neck surgery so Triple H filled that void.

The most iconic rivalry of all time, the one between the 2 wrestlers who made the attitude era so legendary. The fact at some point they were pratically both the faces of the company, both so popular and huge stars made it even more legendary. All the 3 wm matches are amazing for different reasons, especially the last 2. Wm 15 consolidated Austin and at the same time paved the way for Rock. Wm 17 was the biggest match in wrestlemania history in my opinion, the 2 man at the max of their popularity who finally collided again. Also it was a masterpiece of storytelling by the start to the end, where both turned in facts all the words they said in the previous interview with Jim Ross. Wm 19 in the end is simply my favourite match of all time. The perfect ending of a circle and in my opinion the last final chapter and definitive conclusion of the attitude era. Also the fact this was Steve's last match made it so poetic. Him fighting for the last time against his greatest rival was the best way to end his career and everytime i see the post match when Rock breaks character to thank him always gets me emotional. Rock vs Austin was the highest point of wrestling history. 2 GOATS

All due respect to the Austin Mcmahon rivalry which helped turn the tide for the wwe during the Monday night wars but The Rock vs Stone Cold was the greatest rivalry in the attitude era which gave us an epic trilogy of three classic Wrestlemania matches but for me their WM X7 battle was their greatest match in the main event. The buildup was fantastic and the match absolutely delivered which saw two of the biggest and most popular stars wage war for the world title to prove who was number one. It was the greatest time to be a wrestling fan and everytime these two got together, it was pure magic and a hell of a rollercoaster ride. I'm really glad Austin got to have his last match with Rock at Wrestlemania as it was a fitting end to a great trilogy.

19 was a great end to an era. Other than the Austin heel turn at WM 17, it was an unrivaled time in pro wrestling. Austin went out on top against his greatest (wrestler) rival and didn't overstay his welcome. It would've been cool to have him for the RA era, but his body was breaking down. More matches against matured WWE wrestlers along with some of the incoming RA stars would've been awesome. WM 17 was more intense as a spectacle, but WM 19 was a great finale to an unrivaled legacy.

At first, Austin's heel turn had a lot of potential. HHH getting injured pretty much messed that up. Him sucking up to McMahon was hilarious, but probably turned a lot of people off from wrestling in general. Even still, when he briefly turned face against the Alliance, he got one of the loudest, longest crowd reactions I've ever heard. That second heel turn really hurt his popularity, even though he did great work as a heel and honestly had some of his best matches ever (Angle and Benoit matches come to mind).

Correction. The Rock didn't lose the right to face Triple H at WM19. In the backstage segment he said to Bischoff he didn't want to face Triple H because at this time he needs a victory over Austin at WM rather than the world title. So he cancelled his match with Booker T. Then Bischoff said that he still needs The Rock in the match at RAW because "sponsors and advertises were promised to see The Rock in action" or something like that. So The Rock went on to face The Hurricane with whom he had a backstage segments for some weeks during that period. Still an awesone video though. One of the best feuds of all time. Maybe you can cover the rest of their matches too? Would be great!

Fantastic video covering a fantastic topic. Rock vs. Austin is basically one of those feuds that we should have been honored to witness as we grew up as fans. It's the feud of a generation.

While yes, the Debra angle of the whole feud is mostly forgotten leading into X7 I do appreciate how it helped fill out the time between the rumble and the mania match pretty successfully. The sit down interview overshadows everything but there was months of television/ppv’s produced before that pinnacle moment and the Rocks pursuit of the title was very effectively kept connected to Austin with the inclusion of the rattlesnakes wife. You look at the months long builds done since then, the Becky/Rousey train wreck of a build with knee injuries and Trips/Steph and then McMahon/Flair inserting themselves into the whole mess and having Austins wife manage the Rock for a few weeks before taking a bump resulting in Steve attacking Rocky is grade A writing.

The I love you line from The Rock, to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Makes me teary eyed, just a little bit. Because these 2 proud warriors hated each other, and that line was heart felt in my point of view. These guys made my childhood during, The WWF's Attitude Era.

For those too young to remember, Angle won the Title off Rock at No Mercy in the October (Austin against Rikishi in a No DQ match), defended against Taker at Survivor Series (Rock vs Rikishi, Austin vs Trips, which of course led to HiaC @ Armageddon). Austin had a 2 out of 3 Falls with Trips @ No Way Out (1/ Straight match. Austin won. 2/ Street Fight. Trips won. 3/ Cage Match. Trips won).

This was a fantastic piece you put together and did it justice with as short as you had to make it. If I had to make a fanfic ending to "WWF," it would be out ending after Wrestlemania 17 and immediately skipping to their third and Austin's final match. Really hope Austin stays retired and doesn't ever try to do the "one more match" thing. He's got a chance to save what is the peak.

I think the only way The Rock would have got equal backing from the crowd is if Austin went into Mania as the champion, I feel like fans like a title change at Mania. The whole angle with Austin needing to be the champ could have been flipped to just say he needs to BE champ. I loved this match tho and I hated it when Austin turned heel

My favorite will always be Wrestlemania 17, it's where I realized that while I really liked Stone Cold, The Rock was definitely my favorite wrestler ( he is my favorite all-time now ). I remember watching it at a movie theater with one of my buddies and his brother and everyone there being hype. I also remember it being weird because it was a completely different atmosphere from when I'd usually go there to watch a movie ( it was basically a wrestling audience but watching at a movie theater. I remember being super pissed at how Rock was being booed ( even after Stone Cold had clearly aligned with McMahon ). Good times... lol
