I am tired of the anti-Cena comments. I'm not a fan of how they've handled him but Orton's a 3rd gen wrestler like The Rock. Where's the complaints on his mic skills or abilities? Where's the competition the Rock had like Angle or Foley or HHH or Stone Cold and so on? CM Punk? Nexus? Steel sharpens steel, and competitiion makes people improve. Where's that next HBK or great rivalry that will push the business? As many props as other wrestlers give him, I don't think Cena's to blame.
@iacubs "Steel sharpens steel, and competition makes people improve" Exactly, But the reason that there is no competition is coz, all the names that u mentioned were used as stepping stones for Cena, Just to make him popular. Kids are crazy abt him(Never give up bullshit!), merchandise sales r breaking records(Probably).
& Orton is way better than Cena, His Attitude never changed, he still doesn't care about the people, Yet he is loved & most imp. He earned his spot in the wwe unlike cena
"Stone Cold Steve Austin, will knock them stupid horns right off your head, wipe your ass, put you on a barbecue grill and that's all I GO TO SAY ABOUT THAT!" hahaha!!!
oh wait my bad this was the 1st ep i saw after i stopped watching wrestling years ago and i was like wtf is the rock then saw and heard him and was like wow he is cool
The Rock and Stone Cold both had the baddest attitude in the WWF...but the Rock has more charisma obviously...Stone Cold was like no talk, more action.
@DXcrapinup This was the first show but it was like a pilot of some sorts. It wasn't until August 26, 1999 that the show started airing weekly which is when that match occured and Shawn Michaels interfered in favor of HHH
@holdingholder True. Between 2001 and 2005 there were a few storylines that are remembered today; The N.W.O. (Quite bad in all honesty but was made better due to the Rock and Austin, Invasion , and The Rock's Heel turn in 2003. As for moments what about Austin losing his final match against the rock? Hogans face turn at Mania, and then being screwed at no way out? Even the gem that is Stone Cold beating Booker T in a super market. All major storylines were interesting due to the Rock and Austin.
@holdingholder Yup exactly. They also let people beat them. Triple H, big show, mankind are a few main eventers that were made due to fueds with Austin or the rock. I really believe that the undertaker became a 'legend' during his long fued with austin. Even when WCW was beating them for over 2 years, WWF was still pulling in a 9.0 rating...Now it barely gets 3.5s lol
other wrestlers are cool n all, sure ... but the rock .. just too damn funny lol. NO other wrestler comes close on the mic. It's almost painful watching hhh try to smack talk him back for instance lol
As I person that's watched this stuff his whole life, and seen all of them: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, The Warrior, Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Goldberg, Scott Hall, HBK, HHH, Sting, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, John Cena, Undertaker, Mick Foley, and on and on, and the Rock was the first guy I can say made me tune in more for the individual than the event. He may not have been the "wrestler" Bret Hart was, but he was the epitome of sports entertainment.
id add some high flyers to the that list considering some high flyers have almost ended there carreers for this buisness but thats only if ur counting top 5/10 but if ur talking about spot 1 & 2 then steven and dwayne definitly 1 & 2 but who is first and who is second is up to you to decide XD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ahh now what would wwf/attitude be without austin316 attitude. austin made wrestling. rock is good too but doesnt sell it as realistically as austin. i mean no one would really talk like that.
he did not say he sucks idot he is saying thae in 2001 when he returned in july gus gimmick changed slightly into fast talking soul jive rocky that when the rock started to suck the rock from 1998-2000 was amazing and was the best rendetion of the rock
don't associate this with WWE this is WWF all the way, when i used to look forward to hell when evryone used to look forward to watching wrestling, i aint watched wreslting in years cus its just become trash but back in the days i wouldn't miss an episode of smackdown, superstars, livewire or raw for anything
i think every big name was in the corporate at one point or another during that era lol - the rock, triple h, the undertaker, shawn micheals, ken shamrock and the list just goes on
