The Rock-Austin promo from WM 17 is still so good.

WWE has made some amazing video packages throughout the years, and this might be their best.

Set the stage perfectly: Two of the most popular entertainers in America at the time; Austin rose to the top and became "The Man", but in his absence The Rock had come dangerously close to taking his spot, and with a new wife and father time working against him, something had to give.

"I need this Rock ... I need this more than you could ever imagine" :wow:

THAT should have been the angle they played up. instead they made Debra Rock's manager :why:

It's crazy looking back at it too he was basically telling the audience "I'm going to cheat my ass off and turn heel" with the ferocity and desperation in how he delivered it. That's what we need currently, you could present that feud with little change in PG. .. they weren't cursing or anything vulgar just letting it be known from both ends that that belt and being #1 is ALL that mattered

That whole PPV is a masterpiece. One of the few I can watch front to back like a movie to this day.
