The Rock Says,"Austin is Here Tonight" - April 27th,2000

[sharpsh00ter24]

The Rock + Austin = Greatest in WWE history!

[BSabres87]

Why do people say that without a Rock there'd be no Stone Cold, now I'll give Rock his due...but the fact is Rock was a mid-carder at Wrestlemaia 14 against Shamrock when Austin doubled the ratings and revenue at Mania when he won the gold. Austin already broke records merchandise wise he didn't need the Rock but he did help

[kdog104]

2000 best year for smackdown i miss more attitude era smackdown than raw because smackdown was more high impact wrestling and attitude raw was more power house wrestling and attitude i miss both attitude era shows

[supermurus]

@Rawpload

How the hell did hogan get in the top anything other than the top ten of superstars who don't like letting other people going over

[MrAP217]

I hope they found a way 2 get 2 backlash after that!

[myusnavy]

wwe fake

[MattSm0oth]

@myusnavy no shit and your moms tits are fake too bitch

[myusnavy]

@MattSm0oth

your sister boobs are faker then ur fathers 2 inch dick

[Juggernautmst]

FUCK OF TROLLS OR THE ROCK WILL WHIP YOUR CANDY ASSESS

[513hook513]

I remember this storyline on the smackdown game after backlash you got to unlock stone cold I was like OH HELL YEEEEAAAAHHHH

[iitsAsHBasH]

the rock and stone cold made the attitude era. there would be no rock without a stone cold and vice versa. not only did they make their characters, but they made each other by being complete opposites and ultimately not liking one another. there is no way that one is better than the other. they are the only wrestlers who can be heel and get a positive crowd reaction. only ones who got the crowd on their feet.. etc... like it or not, they are equals. what one lacks the other can make up for.

[muse324]

@iitsAsHBasH wrong!! Austin was the godfather of the era and the rock took it to the next level

[Darion1A]

@iitsAsHBasH There would be no Rock without Stone Cold but there was already a Stone Cold before the Rock, The Rocks gimmick didnt rise about until his feud with Rock for the I.C. title

[TheDc316]

@iitsAsHBasH at first i read " there would be no rock without a stone cold and viscera" LMAO

[Rawpload]

@iitsAsHBasH NO, ROCK IS BETTER THAN AUSTIN.

The Rock outdrew austin even in his prime. according to facts rock was bigger star of 1999 & in 2000 Rock & HHH gave WWE the most financially succesfull year ever.

austin in 1998 was pissed off at rock's popularity and refused to lose the title to him. he walked out wwe twice.

besides rock is more talented anyway. Hollywood rock is one of the best heel characters ever while austin's heel run was a miserable fail.

[DudeFromFin]

@Rawpload *Ahem* Steve Austin is #3 on WWE's top 50 superstars of all time and Rock is #5. I know the list is a bit weird from part to part, but in this case, it's pretty much correct.

[Rawpload]

@DudeFromFin and hogan is #23 in that list.

[DudeFromFin]

@Rawpload And rightfully so, because as a wrestler he is one of the most overrated guys in the history.

[Rawpload]

@DudeFromFin he revolutionalised the entire industry for gods sake. Without Hulkmania in the 80s wrestling wouldnt even be this popular today.

[metalicass2003]

@Rawpload

I reluctantly have to agree with this, nowadays Austin's reactions leave a little to be desired, while Rock gets massive pops, so in terms of Everlasting Impressions, The Rock won.

However, I remember Rock getting a mixed reaction at Wrestlemania X-7, but then again that was in Texas. But yeah, Rock is more versatile, Austin's promos were always about being pissed off and his list and fixing to run thru it...

With Rock, WWE gained more entertainment value

[Cameo131]

@metalicass2003 Cena as a rapper got boring? He actually received cheers when he temporarily went back to his old ways to "rap at the Rock." That's the Cena people actually prefer. And the only reason the Rock receives massive pops is because he was away from wrestling for so long. Had Austin abandoned the ring and return, he'd be receiving the same ovation. Rock's reactions are ALWAYS mixed. Whereas Austin ever getting booed was HIGHLY rare

[Goku33333]

@Rawpload what are you talking about your facts are untrue and lies.

[mazman19]

@Rawpload I've always been a Rock fan and liked the Rock better (ever so slightly) than Stone Cold, but you must also face facts: Stone Cold sold the most merchandinse, and was slightly more popular than the Rock. In entertainment, they're both equal, though the Rock tends to be funnier with mic skills and general theatrics, while Stone Cold is funnier because he is always pissed off and wanting to kick someone's ass. In my eyes, The Rock + Stone Cold = WWF Attitude Era

[Cameo131]

@Rawpload Actually, Rock was being booed throughout a large part of his career, even when he wasn't a heel. Rocky sucks chants echoed throughout arenas. Heel or not, Austin still received cheers from the crowd. As far as technical wrestling, Austin could hang with the best of them and Bret Hart himself said Austin was 1 of his favorite opponents. Rock's entertaining, but doesn't have the reputation of being praised for his wrestling abilities.

[Rawpload]

@Cameo131 lolwat? Rock was booed and austin was always cheered?

Get real son.

[Cameo131]

@Rawpload Very real. Only times Austin was booed was as a heel, and even then he still received cheers. And Rock was constantly booed even as a face (Against Stone Cold, Hogan, Brock). "Rocky Sucks" chance was a regular occurrence.

[gowthamankem]

@Rawpload I agree with you in 2000, but for 1999 austin was the biggest star

[frankmartinisadouche]

@Rawpload You're an idiot.

[cruelfishy]

this is stupid ass hell Rock crap...... Austin was as big as life in 98 and 97 .......long before the Rock started getting his role.......

[Rawpload]

@cruelfishy Nope. Facts son facts.

Rock outdrew austin in 1999. In 1998, vince put the rock in shitty feuds like with billy gunn for the tag team titles while austin consistently recieved protective main event booking.

Yet the rock outshined austin.

[cruelfishy]

@Rawpload smh ....... are you serious?

[alic88]

I see 161 likes for people saying " The Rock was the best entertainer in the WWF". Yeah I love the Rock too, but Stone Cold MADE the Attitude era. Till 2002 he was BY FAR the best entertainer.

[KMstr13]

@alic88 no. Shawn Michaels made the attitude era.

[KingMorpheus2011]

@KMstr13 Shawn was the USHERER of the Attitude Era, but Triple H, The Rock, SCSA, The Undertaker actually made the Attitude Era. He was the leader and made the New Generation Era though.

[xt3nd3dclipz]

@KMstr13 well alot of the creative ideas came from shawn...but The Rock and Austin as characters made the Attitude Era

[devancarroll62]

then go get fucked by him you dipshit and oh yeah FUCK JOHN CENA AND THE CENATION

[jamietee89]

I remember the old Smackdown games, and this was part of the storyline in one. Ahhh, takes me back.

[ManAnt12]

I MISS WCW AND THE WWF

[Srky6P]

The best period in wrestling history, Stone Cold defending the Rock :) Just amazing so it's the crowd...

[cacaman11]

wow look how loud the crowd is... its never gonna be like that again

[Mrshowstopper99]

i miss the HEEL triple h

[wwedxecw]

can uu upload the rest?

[Matix8138]

wtf happened at 1:57

[Born2K1]

stone cold / the rock top face

HHH / vince top hell

[aghrrrsh]

those are the best Wrestlers ever

i mean The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin

but i like The Rock more than Steve

[owan316]

@aghrrrsh i agreed Austin and the rock are the best,, but lets admit Stone cold is the greatest of all times,, but i respect both.

[aghrrrsh]

@owan316 ok this is your opinion and i respect it :)

[owan316]

@aghrrrsh well is not just my opinion i mean everyone in wwe including Vince admits that. and well about fans i think Austin is the most popular by everyone had his favorite

[aghrrrsh]

@owan316 ok i am not American . so i do not know who is the best ever . but i like The Rock very much . he is my hero

[owan316]

@aghrrrsh i mean that is a fact that Austin is the best ever. because of the wwe workers and everyone say that. im not american either and i know that fact besides even wrestling legends agreed on that. but well i love the rock to, for sure he and Austin create the greatest rivalry ever, no question about that

[killak1724]

@owan316 Its not a fact not everyone in the wwe consideres austin the best ever.(its usually a debate between shawn rock austin and taker honestly) but of course thats years after rock and austin left. I think the rock is the best eventhough i love austin. But wrestlers such as miz call the rock their favorite. Its all opinion at the end of the day. Vince of course feels austin is the best but that is still his opinion.

[owan316]

@killak1724 bro you even say it, VINCE, obviusly the owner of the company the man who created all this superstars say Austin is the greatest of all times, who knows more about the company that vince, obviusly Austin is the greatest even the rock himself say that Austin is the man who revolutionized wwe, on the new Stone cold dvd Paul Heyman say that AUstin is the biggest superstar ever, john cena say that AUstin is the biggest name in the history of this industry

[owan316]

@killak1724 ric flair say Austin is the biggest star in the history of the wwe in his hall of fame and even Chris jericho agreeds, Mick foley say Stone cold MAde wwe what it is today. Cm punk say Stone cold is the greatest superstar of all times, jim ross say it to etc etc etc,, bro is the reality of wrestling stone cold is the greatest, the rock is the best on the microphone and one of my favorites, but Austin is overall!! The miz say that the rock is the greatest who?miz wow

[owan316]

@killak1724 i know guys had differents opinions like HHH say that HBK is the greatest and Angle say that Taker is the greatest but the only say that because there friends and they are they own favorites,, the miz bro PLEASE im not even had to say nothing on that because nobody cares about that guy. i respect your opinion but FACT stone cold is the best ever, please watch his new dvd and you will know WHY

[killak1724]

@owan316 Your missing my point. It isnt fact its an opinion. Maybe more people think that stone cold is the best but that is still there opinion. Just because vince knows more doesnt make his opinion more credible. I love stone cold to death. I simply like rock better which is why I think he is the best. Its not fact that rock is the best. Just my personal opinion. Same for those who feel austin is the best. Its all opinionated at the end of the day even if majority feel austin is best.

[owan316]

@killak1724 i respect your opint, Vince Say Austin is the man who brough more money for the company than anybody and change the bussiness like no one else and thats a fact, broking records (ppv buys, tv ratings, sell tickets, sold out arenas, Merchandise) that til this day no one surpassed those numbers thats why Austin is the greatest ever, but well like i say i respect your opinion bro.

[killak1724]

@owan316 Well they each broke records but to each his own. Cuz i Know we can both agree that the rock and stone cold had one of the best rivalries in the wwe.

[owan316]

@killak1724 One of the best rivalries in the wwe? no bro,,, Austin vs The rock Is the greatest rivalry of all times and no one cant argue that, i mean that rivalry between those two was the best thing ever happen to wwe, even on the new dvd of Stone cold everyone talk about how great was when those two were on the same ring everytime. Fact ;) Nothing like those days,, even they say that Austin vs the rock at Wrestlemania 17 can be easily the greatest match of all times and i agreed.

[owan316]

@killak1724 and even his match at Wrestlemania 15 is one of the greatest match that everyone can see, is amazing how the crowd cheered on this kind of matches it was just amazing the reaction of the fans, and even mick foley say that it was a honor to be involve in the match of Austin and the rock at WM 15 nothing like that bro. i miss those two.

[killak1724]

@owan316 Yeah it looks like i definately have to see stone colds dvd

[owan316]

@killak1724 yeah bro you had to see it, for sure is the best dvd ever hands down, i mean the documental is a gret piece of work, great moments for sure and comments by Mcmahon, the rock, mick foley, HHH, HBK, Paul heyman, paul bearer bret hart, Chris jericho etc etc on stone cold is amazing bro, moments that you never seen before and great tribute to the biggest ever. and on disc 2 and 3 are great matches from the attitude era great and amazing ovations and on disc 4 a lot of moments

[tna19931]

"i'm gonna be on the side i've always been on, and that's mine!"

Stone Cold staying true to his character.

[Guilherminho0]

@jnashification Sooo, go suck his dick!!! Bitch!!!

[jnashification]

Wrestling sucked back then, I love john cena in HD.

[2k9supastar2k9]

@theoffender2010 That is the most idiotic comment ever, Calling someone sick because they like John Cena you are the sick one for even thinking about Cenas dick go and wash your dirty ass

[madscientistify]

@jnashification so go lick his ass!sick bastard!

[MrPunisherHudson]

@jnashification CeNation Soldier Faggot. PG Era Mark. God, I can't stand Wrestling Fans like you. Hell, you are not ture Wrestling fans. Go fuck yourself and go away, you piece of shit

[Jewety]

@MrPunisherHudson Let me start off by saying i am an attitude era kid but i why do u believe u can discredit a fan because their a "CeNation soldier"? What makes a true wrestling fan then? And if u dnt mind i would like u 2 actually answer this in a proper manner because there is no need for us to argue.

[MrPunisherHudson]

@Jewety A true wrestling likes wrestling for the sake of wrestling. John Cena can't wrestle for shit. Hes a terrible excuse for one. He does the EXACT same thing for several years and its getting really old and patehtic. And like several idiots out there that fall for it. I loved Wrestling back then. Even though, there were stupid storylines, it was still go wresting. But todays wrestlers are just so damn stupid. John Cena is nothing but a Poster boy, Its pathetic. He can't wrestle. Its Simple

[2k9supastar2k9]

@MrPunisherHudson And you also have an idiotic comment, Several of them infact. PG Mark? You started off a comment calling someone two things for liking John Cena which made you pathetic in your own right. Rock did the same moves all the time too only difference is he sold your asses out for more money, Cena works hard and is always there for disrespectful punks with no worth like you, You're no real wrestling fan you're just hung up on the past so pick up your lip and trot on

[TH3DUD34life]

@2k9supastar2k9 rock didnt sell out he pursued his other dream..he did all he wanted to do in wrestling..that does not make him a sell out..cena force feeds up pg garbage,,,,he works hard granted..but after all these years cena took the wwe nowhere...ratings have dramatically went down since cena has been the face of wwe....he gets more boos than anything in HIS HOME TOwn..he is hurting wrestling bad now adays..if he wasnt vince wouldnt ask nash rock for help he wuldnt of put title else where

[TH3DUD34life]

@2k9supastar2k9 not tryn disrespect you...i respect cena i jus dnt like him..at all..cena faild and its jus time for a change..all cena title runs where boring..granted rock did the same moves he actually have wrestling skills os his matches are amazing and legendary..cena has no lengendary matches...jus alot of predictable wins..we nevr knew when rock was gonna win..or austin or hhh...cena is not what the wwe needs nemore...and they are starting to realize it and are making changes finally...

[metalicass2003]

@TH3DUD34life The problem with Cena is that his mic skills suck, that why people got bored of him. They thought the whole rapper thing was fun,but then it got boring,

especially when his promos sound like a Wrestlemania press conference

You see, all his promos are always shouting things like: "WWE GIVES FANS THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT THAT MONEY CAN BUY!!!!"

People talk about Mick Foley and his Cheap Pops? Hooo!!! Cena outdid Foley last Monday making Chicago cheer him with one of those cheap pops!

[TH3DUD34life]

@2k9supastar2k9 ima real wrestling fan..i respect cena..but he needs a heel turn...wwe cnt have there "top" face getting more boos than heels like miz del rio and henry....cena needs to go heel...or he jus wnt make it...

[TH3DUD34life]

@MrPunisherHudson i agree cena isnt a wrestler he is a superstar...cena is boring and all his storyline end out the same...say hello to cena hulk nation...

[TH3DUD34life]

@jnashification fag...

[Cocker007]

Anyone one of you grubby bastards!! hahahaha!! Classic Stone Cold..

[Spamazoid]

[passingpoor]

where the hell does he buy those shirts from?

[Fuckdisworld93]

somebody please answer me this; why was everything... and i mean everything better in the 90's up until 2001? i mean wrestling, music, movies, everything mainstream?

[Spamazoid]

@Fuckdisworld93 society change, entertainment aimed everything at kids past that point, and the nanny nations took over. during 1990-2001 everything was more about anarchy and attitude, WWE/WCW/ECW were just imitating life.

and as far as the WWE was concerened WCW went belly up so there was no need to push the envelope anymore and cut back to appeal to a broader audience and attract more big money advertising and go publicly traded and a move towards content acquisition like google/youtube do

[DantesProphet]

feel bad for stone cold's lawyer that man probably answers the phone hears austins voice and goes "F#$K! what the hell did he do now?!"

[mtn131996]

only a single match of the rock will beat a whole pg era

[anticenasquad31]

AUSTIN DECONSTRUCTION lol

[CannabisCorporation]

I wish the Rock used the word "Jabroni"

[ErinAlexis86]

@boss4783 back then, JR was only on Raw and Michael Cole did interviews with Hermie (Kevin Kelly). Michael Cole commentated during Smackdown and either Lilian or Coach did interviews.

[emycasanova]

This is a solid PROOF that The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH are the ones who made WWE. When they're gone, so does the WWE.

[Ksavage2010]

@emycasanova Rock and Austin has been gone and HHH just came back.The WWE has been surviving without the.They've been less entertaining,but they have been alive.

[Ratmann3684]

@emycasanova but when hogan, macho man, and ultimate warrior left, wwf was still going.

[TheGLOCK40cal]

i hate wwe anymore stupid ass fuckn cena, nexus, miz, swagger its all gone to hell

[TSK619]

Stone Cold was the attitude era.... Stone Cold and The Rock made it all great

[cbranson]

anyone got the video where rock gets questioned by mick foley about running over stone cold..with the superstars around the ring?

[trezkidul]

real wwe is coming back now when stone cold hhh the rock and other old good wrestlers returning to wwe

[MrMroverton]

@trezkidul i hope ur right but i think undertaker, and HHH are going 2 retire after WRESTLEMANIA and Rock and Austin are just making apperances

[trezkidul]

@MrMroverton undertaker must be beaten first before he gets retired that is whats on my mind.

[unknowns123]

The attitude era owns ALL ..!!

[boss4783]

[SteveCriminal]

Back in these days the storylines were so much better, so much twists and turns, you don't get that no more, John Cena has been face fo years and its sooo boring no personality alongside batista BORING wrestlers.

In those days they put on a good show, for u to tune in to nexts weeks to find out what happens next.

[mikefromstrasburg]

@SteveCriminal just like the attitude era

[ksbaxter]

Amazing scene right there. I remember enjoying the moment seeing Stone Cold Steve Austin again.

Cole: "Austin 3:16 says I just wrecked your bus." Damn straight he did.

[mistanderson]

@ksbaxter Cole sound corny saying it.

[thehollywoodworld]

attitude era was just simply electrifying to watch everyweek..gosh i remember coming home from school..just waiting for smdw to start @ 8:00 on UPN..good fucking times..and btw steph looks freakin hot..

[lunarnut]

Man this was so awesome. I remember I'd hate myself if I came home late on Monday or Thursday nights and missed ANY of Raw and Smackdown. I'd tune in just to see what Austin or the Rock was going to do next. Now I just change the channel to TNA.

[Michiganboy248]

damm wrestling sucks now. wrestling was good here back in the day

[awefuckit]

damn it HAS to be shitty quality

[imranmerali]

this was the attitude era which was the best thing for wwf

[mj4lyfe2009]

might as well start watchng tna lol

[jmd11185]

I remember this segment like it was yesterday once austin got on the screen. The goosebumps were running up and down my body.

[ocen89]

wheres part 1?

[almunia99]

the best thing that happen in wwf

[scorpionvenom1990]

i agree

[EagleVolkan]

the rock was the best entertainer in wwe

[jmd11185]

correction, the rock was the best entertainer in the world

[jim1brink]

@EagleVolkan and always will be

[2010aurnob]

@EagleVolkan he is nothing without HHH!

[Lerlialen1]

@2010aurnob haha that's the funniest joke I've ever heard!

[2010aurnob]

@Lerlialen1 i will tell u why! he reached his career peak due to his rivalry with HHH! and when it came to an end, there were no rocky rocky chants anymore! And I am proud to say that I used to watch WWF during that period! this WWE sucks big time now!

[Lerlialen1]

@2010aurnob it's still a funny joke to me. Rock was getting huge pops when he was with the NOD. It had nothing to do with HHH and had everything to do with his genius skills on the mic and his ability to entertain the fans.

But I will say, HHH is the best heel rival that Rock had. Their matches were awesome to watch.

[Subliminallll]

@Lerlialen1

I couldn't agree more, I really thought they hated eachother. Plus they're two of the best wrestlers of all time and their matches just had me on the edge the whole time.

[guardianshaven]

@2010aurnob People chanted the Rock's name long before and long after Triple H's rivalry with the Great One ended. Check his rivalries withChris Benoit, Booker T, Kurt Angle, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho, Undertaker and the nWo as reference.

[spacedout93]

@EagleVolkan Don't mean IS the best entertainer in WWE?

[supersayngod]

@EagleVolkan don't you mean WWF!!

[Majshet]

@EagleVolkan No he is the best entertainer in the world!

[fijianrugsta]

@EagleVolkan the rock is the best entertainer in wwe

[gulbransenm]

@EagleVolkan Correction. WWF.

[lassessommer]

@gulbransenm

and wwe

[gulbransenm]

@lassessommer I don't know of this WWE, I stopped watching it when it changed and got boring. This clip is from when wrestling was exciting, had great story lines and really got you pumped for the next week!
