The booking and storyline at Survivor Series 1998 is up there with any angle in history. You just had to listen to the dead silence in the crowd when Rock turned on them. Brilliant. Russo always jumps to say that this is the best work he has ever done. 20k were standing there in complete shock after crazily cheering and chanting for The Rock for months and all that night like never before. They only realized what happened there the next night when Rock came out to mega heat and the clever story of this point was that now the tide has turned and Rock is the one who didn't want them on his side while they were begging to be there, wanting to chant along with him. Which led to the "This is not sing along with The Great One!" catchphrase.
Bossman "losing" in 3 seconds, then "accidentally" throwing the stick to Shamrock, Kane causing a DQ on Taker, Shane screwing Austin in his match with Mankind, and the top of the list, Rock, Shane and Vince revealing the new Corporate WWF champion to close the show when nobody saw it coming. Pure money, the highest drawing title run on the road in history and on his FIRST RAW main event as WWF Champion in the match against Austin, Rock broke the all-time RAW record at that time with a 7.3 against a pretty big Goldberg/Bigelow match on Nitro. The Shakespeare of rasslin'. Booking peaked that night.

"Look at that, you would think The Rock had been attacked by damn King Kong. And the award goes to...Where's The Rock's Oscar Vince?" y
Remind me to post this when Rock gets his rightful Oscar one day.
Nothing like The Corporate Champion, his work in HalfTime Heat alone deserves an Oscar. Rock was working title match after title match on RAW, Road Dogg, X-Pac, HHH, Al Snow, Austin, Mankind etc. Week after week main eventing RAW with WWF title matches. Great Rock/Al Snow match with Rock giving a Corporate Elbow to the legendary, revolutionary, iconic...HEAD:

The World's Reaction to The Rock defeating John Cena AND FROME THE ARENAUNREAL
HE IS THE CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE .. FACT
Amazing video. Great match and an iconic moment that will live forever. The reactions on YouTube were worth this year. The Cena kids in that vid deserve a medal for their gold performance, best by far were: "HOW CAN HE LOSE?! He's supposed to be THE BEST CHAMP!!", "I HATTTTE JJOOOOHNNN CCCEEENNAA!!!" . The live stadium footage was awesome. Unforgettable, all-time memorable moment like only The GOAT can create.

arguably the greatest booking to a paper view in history and 7.3 so the rock broke his own record and broke his own live gate attendance which will never be broken again. the rock will win an Oscar just give the GOAT some time, also lols the best part was either I HATE JOHN CENA OR the dad says the rock !!!!!!!!!!!!1 hahahahahah to his kid. and seriously I want the torch man. oh and what do you think of my signature the writing part I made it up myself

The Rock's title shot at Royal Rumble vs Hogan's in 1993
So the Rock is apparently competing for the WWE title at Royal Rumble. an former prowrestler turend actor, anoly back for a very few dates.
This makes me think of Hogan in 1993. He got a title shot at Wrestlemania 9, and took the title, despite he was not full time wrestler.
still people who bash Hogan for having a title match in 1993 still seem to have no problem what so ever with the Rock comming in and demanding a title shot at the Rumble...
