Austin only wrestled ppvs in summer 1999 due to hurting so bad before leaving, so he essentially missed a year and a half. The Rock in 2000 was bigger than any wrestler in the history of wrestling. Superstar pops in front of sellouts everywhere across the board. WWE had its biggest year ever. Vince was an actual billionaire. How come it got bigger when Rock replaced Austin but once HHH took over for Austin, the ride was over?
See but I don't deny that Rock has his time as being the man. I also don't deny he carried the ball very well. The attitute era in 2000 was the climax, wcw was done for and everybody switched back to the E. The ride was not over when HHH took over, the company was going through changes. We went from Attitude to Ruthless aggression to PG to Fukkery era. Thats a Vince change, not a personnel change breh.
