10 Best The Rock Vs. Triple H Matches

1. Judgment Day 2000 (Ironman)

This is their longest battle because it was a 60 minute Ironman match. It's also their best match. By this point they had worked together so much that they had built up an amazing chemistry. The Rock walked into the match as the very popular WWE Champion with evil Triple H getting his rematch after losing a month earlier. They changed the title at three consecutive PPVs following WrestleMania that year. What was great about this match is it wasn't anything like the Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart Ironman match from four years earlier when they only had one fall in 62 minutes. This match had 11 falls. There were some creative ones too, like when Triple H intentionally got disqualified to lose a fall and then came back quickly to get two falls because The Rock was hurting. It was really well done. Like most Ironman matches where it's heel vs. face, the face Rock made the big comeback to tie it up with two pinfalls in the last few minutes. Michaels was the ref of this match as chaos erupted and The Undertaker showed up to attack all of the heels that were there to help Hunter win. The finish of the match saw a returning Undertaker attack Triple H, Michaels saw that and disqualified Rock because of it, which meant that Hunter won the WWE Title. The timing of everything was off a bit, but they were able to get the point across well enough. It's really a great match worth checking out if you have an hour. They showed that even though they were bigger guys who aren't necessarily known as technical wrestlers, they were still skilled enough to have very entertaining Ironman match. That's not easy to do.
