[@fiqridwan]

wwe didnt sign The rock in 2004 because they want to push Triple H...and because the rock popularity already fade at that time...the rock only make his name in Hwood at 2011 with Fast 5

[@xisckillerx7578]

This was a good video but the middle chapters felt like triple h bashing. The defence/apology for rock in hollywood was really noticeable especially the hall of fame complaint.

It was supposed to happen at Survivor Series 99 bur Rock and Austin didn’t wanna put over HHH.

​@@carter3369Thats a lie. The rock has never done something like that. Hes not powerhungry like HHH and Stone Cold

[@anthonyanderson9303]

​@carter3369 you're getting your ppv's mixed up. It was summerslam 99 that Austin didn't wanna put over HHH, hence why they had Foley win. By Survivor Series, Austin legit needed neck surgery so they wrote him out with the hut and run angle.

[@yoshidracos.a.1125]

Damn, this makes me wish Triple H was in good health, cuz a final Rock vs Triple H match would've been great.

[@KenDaKingArrives]

Triple H beat him most of the time via screwjobs, that's what I remember. The true happy ending is The Rock winning due to the bullying and screw jobs. It wasn't Rock's fault he was born with connections and on top of it he was naturally superior to HHH anyway. That's why Rock winning this hypothetical final match would be true justice.

[@michaelgatti4038]

HHH said he regrets not ending his feud with Rock at a wrestlemania. Closest we got was that 4 way match in 2000. I still say the best they did was SummerSlam in ‘98. Really good shit.

GREAT video. Please do one on Austin walking out in 2002. A lot of fans think he just randomly did it. Looking back at his frustrating booking in 2001/2002 + Byte This rants + PW Torch reports of Vince messing with him now that he had more leverage.

[@mikeg.8904]

Can I add a few things that are missed in this episode. We all know the Klique, we all their antics to maintain power. But how about the the factions that opposed them. The Rock says that after Wrestlemania 17, he thanked Austin for everything he did for him. I wish people would dig a little deeper on what The Rock means by that because in interviews Stone Cold has said that early on in The Rocks career, he would tell the front office that The Rock has potential and he's the kinda guy he can work with in the future. Stone Cold is protecting The Rock and its during this time as pointed out in this video, that both Shawn Michaels & HHH are working against him. Also during this time as pointed out in this video Brett Hart refused to bury The Rock for the IC belt. And as everyone knows Brett & Austin were great friends. We also know that Brett & HBK are NOT the best of friends. O hey what a coincidence? Also, during the time The Rock is fueding with Billy Gun & HHH is Champion in 1999, is when Austin is in & out the ring with injury/hit with a car kayfabe. I believe it's Prichard who said The Rock was extremely unhappy with working with Billy Gun during this time period too. Coincidence? The Klique is largely thought of as 1 group verse everyone or smaller factions. But the other faction was basically The Harts/Stone Cold & The Rock. But that's glossed over, not just this video but generally when this topic is talked about, it's glossed over.

[@ROSTAFA]

I don't believe the Iron Man Match exposed The Rock at all. He worked his ass off, just like HHH. Watch his matches with Benoit. Rock can keep up with any technician. Also, Rock pulled out all the stops athletically in the match.

[@ChristianJ_98]

This was a fabulously produced video. The best of the feud forever series yet. I think.

[@CCEkeke]

This is why I always feel Triple and Rock are each other's greatest rivals. Their feud has literally gone from opening match rookies to main eventers to board room power players.

[@OneReallyGrumpyJill]

While it sucks to see Rock become what he is now, given how much nicer he was when he was younger, you can hardly blame him

[@brentidas2566]

What happened to the SmackDown podcast you uploaded?

[@JAMForwardwithChrissyA]

From a man that grew up in the 90s, Ive always had Trips as my #3 most favorite and Rock as #4 (my all time fave 1 is HBK and 2 is Bret), and Ive always enjoyed their in-ring rivalry growing up. This feature is the best Ive seen detailing their rivalry on and off the screen. Kudos!

[@cjtubehd6037]

These WT original documentaries are awesome, hope they keep up with it!

[@McMahonHater]

HHH & HBK tried to ruin The Rock. They even tried to get Bret Hart to take the IC strap from The Rock, but Bret knew what they were trying to do and refused.

[@kodychandler253]

The background music for this is such a vibe tho 😂 wasn't expecting that oli keep up the good work 🤙

[@supermonkey321]

Great video! Really enjoyed that! And I never realized many of those parallels between the two. Interesting. Something you didn't really emphasize at the end is how they have sort of switch sides. Rock used to be the one beloved by the fans, but now it's HHH that everyone loves.

Hi Oli, great vid. Although one critique (or maybe not) - the rock and triple h fought at another ppv in 2002. Good Ol' Insurrexion in a triple threat with Bork Brock Lesnar. However, not sure if that's "cannon" as it was a UK event?

[@mr5timewcwchamp]

Glad they (HHH and Rock) buried the hatchet and came together with a better storyline together. There’s real heat on this current one. Rock vs. Roman would’ve been alright and Cody vs. Roman would’ve been alright. But right now, it’s shaping up to be historic. They really just need to get tie this up by getting Roman more involved, because right now it’s seeming more like Cody vs. the rock. Even if they showed Roman more to make it look like he’s orchestrating everything. Unless they got something up their sleeve.

[@mikehopkins9463]

[@savbeatz870]

To sum it up. Triple H and HBK were haters, and the Rock always won in the end. I just hated in his prime, due to triple H’s position, the rock never truly shined the way he should’ve against him outside of promos. They constantly jumped The Rock or cheated him out of a major win
