TheOneAndOnlyGOAT
Championship Contender
Probably because Rock had so much help to try to beat Austin at Wrestlemana XV.
That's kind of how their saga has gone.
It took multiple matches for the Rock to Finally beat Austin clean.
Here's a statistic for anyone wondering how this match would turn out...
The Rock and Stone Cold squared off against each other 103 times (singles, tags, everything).
Stone Cold was on the winning side 81 of those 103 times, and 5 more of those matches didn't have a decision. The Rock only came out the winner against Austin 16.5% of the time.
When these two guys faced off, it was the Rock that would be on the losing end virtually every single time.
Think about that
Re-read the rules of this tournament.
We can use whatever criteria we want, not who would win in a kayfabe match.
neither guy should be at this point but Austin is clearly the winner here not even close.
Not even close? Really? From what I recall, the Rock-Austin debate is one of the biggest debates in all of wrestling.
Just because you hate Rock and voted against Rock in pretty much every round doesn't change the fact that Rock-Austin were head to head in the attitude era.
