The bulid up to WM2000 easily trumps WM17. In fact, most of the PPVs in 2000 have good build ups.
It surprises me that you would say that but each to their own. IMO apart from the 2 episodes when Vince and Foley returned it wasn't all that great but 2000 was an incredible year overall. Road to Mania 17 is worth watching for the Rock Austin interactions alone. The crowds are astonishing for all their segments and when Rock gets the first stunner you can barely hear JR over the fans reaction.

Fair point. Kurt and Benoit deserved a longer build as did most of the feuds to be honest but Rock and Austin exchanging finishers and the promo you mentioned is enough in my book to make it special.

The thing with Mania 17 is that they had five Raws and five Smackdowns, which means ten shows to produce between NWO and Mania. That's a lot, especially when you wanna build a face vs face match, where both men are very limited with what they can do and say to not hurt the status of the other one.

That's why the first two weeks kind of fell flat. Debra is not a problem for me because she was needed to make the feud personal and intense. From the moment Austin stunned Rock because Debra was attacked, this thing was on.

By the way, OP asked for only four weeks of build up and with only Raw shows, not both Raw and SD shows. There's a difference.
Sorry but the first two weeks didnt fall flat, they were electrifying!
