Another brutal battle between men that had been beating the f*cking sh*t out of each other for four months, The Rock and Mankind's last WWE Championship match carried a certain air of sadness because of the inevitable result.

Mick Foley: WWE Champion had been an immensely fun ride, but it was time for all of us to get off with WrestleMania just over a month away. 1999's 'Show Of Shows' needed at long last to land on The Rock Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin, and this ladder war tidied up the last remaining piece of that puzzle.
