>>5417447>That was early 01 in the build to WM 17Exactly. So it did happen.
>Rock left and when he came back he was super over againThis is exactly what I said. Rock would wear out his welcome after a few months, crowd would turn on him, then he would leave to do a project or injury or whatever, then by the time he returned the crowd was ready and popped again.
BTW, the fact that heel Hogan was cheered and face Rock was booed at X-8 proves my point. Austin would never have been booed in that spot.
