[PhenomTheMac]

They were in a triple threat match with HHH at Wrestlemania 24

Hunter butted his nose into 2 of Cena's biggest potential Mania matches.

When he ousted Edge at 22 and when he added himself to Cena/Orton even though they had the injury angle right there.

 

[OGDirtyD]

It was way more top guys back then so they didn't have to

Ether.

“Way more” is a stretch b

outside of HHH

 

[PhenomTheMac]

Austin/Rock - 10 Singles matches (3 Manias)
Cena/Orton - 22 Singles matches (0 Manias)
Reigns/Lesnar - 6 Singles matches (3 Manias)

Sooooo

yeah

actually wrestled less than both rivals and interestingly over a longer period. They had 6 singles matches over 7 years. To put that in perspective…Cena and Orton once wrestled each other 5 times in one year lol

Austin/Rock - 5 PPV Matches (1 of which was when they were in the midcard still)
Orton/Cena - 10 PPV Matches
Brock/Roman - 7 soon to be 8 PPV matches

 

[PhenomTheMac]

Moral of the story is, I wish we would've had more Rock and Austin match-ups.

Cmon.

Austin, Rock, Taker, HHH, Foley, Kane, Angle, Jericho, Benoit, Big Show

Austin/Rock - 5 PPV Matches (1 of which was when they were in the midcard still)
Orton/Cena - 10 PPV Matches
Brock/Roman - 7 soon to be 8 PPV matches

Summerslam will be their 7th singles match. It is interesting that all of thier matches (8 soon to be 9) all on ppv. They never wrestled on free tv

 

[BDP™️]

Cmon.

Austin, Rock, Taker, HHH, Foley, Kane, Angle, Jericho, Benoit, Big Show

Top guys nigga?

Bonified “carry the company, rep the brand” top guys

cmon b we know its levels and its only 4 names up there that fit that description

Austin
Rock
Taker
HHH

and even then Rock and Austin on a diff level

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Big Show???

 

[BDP™️]

Big Show???

Right

nigga typed big show and foley lmao

 

[already home_17]

Cena / Orton 22 times

this was also the era when wwe ran what felt like 16 ppv’s per year and would repeat the same match four ppv’s straight

i’m sure that helped fans grow tired of their rivalry a lot faster

 

[Chi-Town B]

“Way more” is a stretch b

outside of HHH

Taker, Angle, Big Show, Kane, Jericho, Benoit, Shamrock, Guerrero. They had a great roster of main event talent

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Nigga said Big Show and Ken Shamrock
Come on b

 

[PhenomTheMac]

Big Show???

main evented a Mania during the attitude era, is what it is. Carried the belt too.

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

main evented a Mania during the attitude era, is what it is. Carried the belt too.

He should have never been in that main event. He should have never carried the belt either.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Nigga said Big Show and Ken Shamrock
Come on b

So you acting like they weren't main event players during that time

 

[Chi-Town B]

He should have never been in that main event. He should have never carried the belt either.

Not about what he shouldn't have done it's about what he was.

 

[PhenomTheMac]

Right

nigga typed big show and foley lmao

I get how you can front on Show (I put him last for a reason) but you is trippin if you don't recongnize Foley.

First feud for Austin after the title? Foley. First feud for Rock after the title? Foley. First feud for Hunter? You guessed it Foley. Not to mention what he did for a Taker at KotR leading up to that years Summerslam. Rock and Sock also humanized the Rock which helped him in 2000 when he went uberface.

Like nah not Mick, you remove him and a lot of guys are a lot less over than they ended up becoming.

 

[PhenomTheMac]

Nigga said Big Show and Ken Shamrock
Come on b

who tf said Shamrock lmao. Big Slow was main eventing top 4 PPVs mane, rightly or wrongly.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Right

nigga typed big show and foley lmao

So he wasn't a main event and a somebody back then, you tripping
