There were several UK only PPVs in the 1990s and into the early 2000s. One of the PPVs was named Rebellion. At the 1999 event on October 2 it was Triple H as the heel WWE Champion defending the title against The Rock. They wrestled in all kinds of matches against each other, but none of their high profile matches on the bigger stage too place in a steel cage like this one did. It was a typical cage match with lots of dramatic near escapes and moments where it looked like The Rock might leave with the title, but on a UK only show you know that the champion is likely to retain. They had a really long cage match at about 22 minutes. Sometimes cage matches go shorter because there's only so much you can do in there. There was all kinds of interference in the match with The British Bulldog getting involved as well as Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco, Shane McMahon and of course Chyna as well. It ended when Chyna slammed the cage door on Rock when he was trying to get out and also when Bulldog prevented Rock from climbing out. Hunter escaped with the cheap win. You can watch this show as well as the other Rebellion specials on WWE Network along with other PPVs. It's probably not a popular choice, but it's out there.
