Although he was on his way out

Austin was still the #1 guy and attraction in WWE at that time

I will stand on that

I’m an Austin fan. He is the single most important wrestler in WWE history, over Hogan.

I my bias won’t allow me to say Stone Cold wasn’t bigger. I’ll say this tho, WWE weren’t treating Austin like he was. Ever since they had him lose to Rock at WM that last time.

They had my guy fighting Booker T in grocery stores. It was funny as fuck, but they weren’t treating him like the guy who got them to where they were.

Who was top guy over Stone Cold bruh

not Rock
Not HHH
Taker - nope
damn sure wasnt Jericho
Angle - nope
Eddie - nope
Benoit - nope
Edge - Nope
Orton and all them just came out the gate

So who was it?

Bro, AT THAT TIME it wasn’t Austin. I remember this vividly. We are talking post Invasion storyline. They had Jericho win the unified championship and Stone Cold never won it again. They were legit trying to phase him out.

Next thing you know he’s GM battling with Bischoff and Flair.

He’s always #1 to me, but to the execs, he was no longer their top star.

It’s hard to say. Cuz honestly Rock was treated like he was the bigger deal with the Hogan stuff. Austin was booked like he was second fiddle and he was not a fan of that shit.

THIS GUY KNOWS!

I remember that shit, bro. They did my guy dirty post Invasion.

Yall gotta think back to that exact time. This was post Invasion.

The fact that they had Austin feuding with that broke down version of the nWo featuring Big Show and Ric Flair towards the end was ass. Then they wanted Austin in the KOTR tournament facing Brock?! They were very disrespectful to that man at the start of the brand split.

YES! Thank gawd someone here remembers that time period.

They had my guy as a B-lister after Invasion when he was the guy who basically put WCW out of business.
 
@Blackmanta24

Ahh I'm getting my years confused. I'm mixing up Hollywood Rock's year with his and Austin's 2002 run my bad. I was a bigger Rock fan so to me Rock was the top babyface in 2002. But i could still see folks making a case for Austin cause Austin was still gettin hella love from the audience.

Oba fucked up slapping the mat the way he did.

I chalk that up to an ignorance of combat sports. That don’t mean he should be docked creatively because of it.

I blame wrasslin for never making shit clear in regards to what constitutes a tap.
 
I hope this “tap” doesn’t become a thing. Clearly Oba had no intention of quitting, but by the letter of the law of wrestling, he did.

People have been bringing up Hogan, so I’ve been watching his old matches. He jiggles and he shakes and he flops around, but he doesn’t hit the mat like Oba.

I repeat, he was not quitting, but it would totally be viable to dispute it and the case could be won.

It’s like Iverson’s crossover. Did he mean to carry? Hell no! Was he called for it? Yes!

Question is, was it planned or was it an accident on Oba’s part? I only ask because normally when it’s an accident, wrestlers won’t post or comment on it and WWE will even try to scrub it. Jey posting it makes me wonder…

When Jade "tapped" to Shayna it was widely forgotten pretty quickly. Since this is a bigger setting they can simply run it back the same way Randy Orton & Gunther did in 2024 after the whole Randy shoulder situation which has been widely forgotten.

You could argue although Austin was in the twilight of his career he was still #1

Rock was never the undisputed #1 like Austin was and like Roman is

Remember, he walked out because they wanted Lesnar to beat him in a random KOR match with no build and he chunked the deuces lol

Rock snatched that shit from him in 2000 (he had started in 99 before Austin even left, but that was far from "undisputed") so much so that Austin read the tea leaves and turned heel.

Hogan, Austin, Cena, Roman (when he finally did it), all took over when there was a void to be filled. Rock didnt have the same luxury. But make no mistake: Rock did surpass Austin, and was positioned accordingly.

After Austin's heel turn, Rock main evented Summerslam, went over Austin at Survivor Series, main evented Rumble, got the Hogan match at Mania, main evented at Summerslam with Brock-- who they wanted Austin to lose to on TV, and then finally Rock went over Austin at 19.

Not really cause we didnt need to see Cody do another chase which included a Brock trilogy where we still to this day dont know what Brock's problem was. Plus the Undisputed title was held up again since Roman was on and off tv for months at a time. Essentially Roman didnt need the title to do any of the shit that happened past 39.

Mania 40 was gas but the fans would have been just as satisfied with Cody winning at 39.

No need to have the hottest dude in the company lose on his first try just to have him go through "adversity." Roman doesnt need to hold the title to do Bloodline shit.

Cody had never done an initial chase, that was the whole point. He came back and beat Seth three times. Then he got hurt. Then he won the Rumble in his first match back.

Him losing *was* the chase.
