The Rock's WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best
7. Vs. Triple H Vs. Mick Foley Vs. Big Show - WrestleMania 2000
The first WrestleMania of the new millennium saw the presence of the McMahon family on WWF TV reach nauseating levels. The main event of the show featured 'A McMahon in every corner' (!), as Triple H (with Stephanie) defended the world title in a four way against The Rock (with Vince), Big Show (with Shane) and Mick Foley (with Linda). Rock made his way into the match by winning the Royal Rumble in controversial fashion, eliminating Big Show last despite footage proving that it was Rocky's feet that actually touched the floor first. That explains Show's appearance in the match, but Foley? Didn't he just lose a retirement match to Triple H a month prior? Yeah, professional wrestling is weird and LIES. Unfortunately, the presence of the McMahons leads to the finish being a total schmozz, as Vince turns on Rock to side with Hunter. Rock exacts some revenge and stands tall at the end of the show, but it is Triple H that walks out with the belt. Until the finish the match was a whole lot of fun, but the climax drags it down so, so much.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
