I didnt mind the heel turn as much as I hated how they executed it thereafter

Pinhead a certified pinhead

Heel turn one of the most memorable and ballsy creative moments of all time, match is an all time classic

Their wm19 match was nothing special at all

Austin rock wm17 top 5 wwe match of all time

 

Jan 22, 2019

Nobody wanted to see Austin as any type of heel

@Big Dangerous I'll have to check 19 and 17 out again

 

Jan 22, 2019

You will come to your senses

h--- watch their backlash match after WM15 too. It’s their second best match

Wait, no Austin vs. Triple H 2/3 Falls match from No Way Out 2001?

 

Jan 23, 2019

The one where Austin lost both falls?

Could be because I was like 11 or 12 when I ended up watching it, but I remember it being a nothing match, kinda boring. Should I watch that too?

 

Jan 23, 2019

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There is nothing boring about that match at all. Honestly was fit for a bigger stage, if you ask me. Easily my favorite 2 out of 3 Falls Match. I was just mad Austin lost because it was probably my last year being a self-proclaimed mark in my youth. I was literally the same age as you and everything when it occurred. Remembered it like it was yesterday.

I also loved Stone Cold's heel turn and heel run for that matter. I understand it may not have made a ton of sense business wise since Rock was leaving to film a movie and also they made HHH a heel the next night too(then he got injured), but f--- it..it was great TV at the time, and Austin siding with Vince shocked the h--- outta me when it happened. I loved it.

HHH/Austin 3 stages of h--- was amazing too by the way.

Jesus man you gotta stop with these bad takes

Austin won a fall in the match and it’s a bonafide classic match. Best of HHHs career certainly not boring

 

Jan 23, 2019

What's that two out of three falls with HHH where he won both

 

Jan 24, 2019

I can't remember one where he did but trust me, the Feb 2001 one is a d--- classic

Moved their Mania 17 match up to 4.75. Also caught Regal/Jericho and Benoit/Angle, both of which I'd give 4. People apparently hated that Regal match when it happened, weird.

And yeah, you guys are right, the No Way Out Austin/HHH was pretty great. These WWE gimmick main events often feel the same, a bit too much to watch this right after Rock/Austin as they're similar type brawls. The first fall was just a means to get to the street fight, which was great. Cage was kind of unnecessary, but I loved the finish - 4.5

I've got Eric's podcast on it ready to go. His bs is so entertaining.

^I can’t see them putting Finn in the title match at Mania right now unless Brock is leaving the company right after the rumble, which isn’t the case as far as I know..

But it’s not totally impossible I suppose, I mean I didn’t really think he’d be the first universal champ either..

*edit* also there’s 2 PPVs between the rumble and Mania, so maybe they pull some lame multiple title changes before Mania s---.

He's not beating Brock.

This guy's been reliable in the past, i hope it's something good if true. I'm excited for the show tbh, card is pretty good and the rumble is usually a fun show.
