It saved his legacy in my opinion. If he had stayed a face after being booed out two huge matches in the same year it could have killed his career. He would have been the Cena of 2002/2003.
Hollywood Rock ranks up there, as one of my favorite Rock moments. By that time in his career, it was really hard to try and hate the guy. His bit with The Hurricane and Rock Concerts still make me laugh. While it didn't last that long, it was entertaining.
I loved it something fresh and new he was funny his theme song was epic. Something new hollywood Rock short run but man wish it was longer enjoyed every moment of it.

-My favourite segments was when he completely owned Hulk Hogan via pre-recorded segments
He had to get cheap heat because the fans were still trying to cheer him during that period, even singing his catch phrases. I thought it was hilarious and he and the WWE finally accepted it during his fued with Goldberg.
