Can't help but notice for the last 8 days that the most over and talked about person on these forums and on the Internet in general is clearly The Rock.
Seems almost as over as he ever was.
Out of the options i'd have to say 1999 ahead of 2000. Even as a heel he was getting huge pops, non -stop Rocky chants and half the time (in the later part of the year), was more over than Austin.
