The Big Show was hilarious. I couldn't believe when the shitty crowds used to chant, "PLEASE RETIRE". They forgot that he was apart of damn near all of the biggest moments during the middle and tail end of the Attitude Era. That run he had with The Rock in 2000 was awesome. The USA WWE crowd fans suck today. Always on their phones. No personal crowd signs. Dead energy in damn near every show so much so that WWE has began editing the audio to add in fake crowd noise because the USA fans suck. When WWE comes to the UK or the world travels to see WrestleMania we always show out but the weeks after that event and it's back to the boring dead USA crowd, SMDH.

[@ngawangr5324]

you probably werent old enough to know how truly big the rock was during this time. Austin was a megastar within the wwe community, but once you go past that realm, the rock truly was the biggest superstar ever created in professional wrestling. You have guys like hogan who pioneered and became the first megastar ever, austin ruled during the edgy time period and was the second megastar after hogan, id put cena with them now as well, but theres only one man whos on his way to become the first ever billionaire wrestler, and its all thanks to his tenure in the wwf at that time. 1999-2000 rock was the greatest peak any wrestler could achieve, i mean just look at this video, how many wrestlers have HOSTED SNL and got a pop like this?? No wrestler ever got as many calls from hollywood during their peak iike the rock did
