30 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE Attitude Era PPV
26. The Rock’s Rise Was Insane
Stop to really think about The Rock's rise for a second.
He went from being rejected as a babyface in mid-1997 > background player in The Nation behind Faarooq > working Steve Austin in the main event of WrestleMania XV within the span of approx 18 months. In fact, scrap that; Rocky went from unwanted bit part man in late-97 to WWF Champ by the same time one year later.
What's more, fans had finally accepted him when he turned heel again at Survivor Series '98 and joined The Corporation. This spell was dizzying to watch through in quick succession without TV breaks. Bloody incredible rise up through the ranks though.
