Much has been written of The Rock's WWF debut, especially this year as 'The Great One' celebrates 20 years since bursting through the Madison Square Garden curtain and overcoming a 2-on-1 disadvantage to pick up the win for his team.

Starting as he meant to go on, he'd polish Rikishi off at the 2000 event, emerge as the sole survivor for Team WWF in their defeat of the Alliance in 2001, and go back to where it all began in 2011, when Madison Square Garden hosted his dream alliance with John Cena as they cooly disposed of The Miz and R-Truth en route to their first Wrestlemania Main Event 6 months later.

But the meat of The Rock's impressive Survivor Series stats comes from his highly impressive one-night showing at 1998's Deadly Game 16-man single elimination tournament for the vacant WWF Title.

On what could be considered Vince Russo's creative zenith, The Rock worked his way past The Big Boss Man, Ken Shamrock and The Undertaker, before shockingly turning heel to align himself with the McMahons and defeat Mankind in the show-closer, earning his first World Title and instantly propelling himself to headline status.

Rocky never looked back after that historic night. History will show that his unlikely journey to galactic megastar and Worlds Sexiest Man undoubtedly took some of it's sharpest upward turns at the Survivor Series.
