Rock out drew Austin between end of 1999 to end of 2000

So when Austin was hurt? :hayden3

Nope, from the very start of 1999, throughout the entire year... from January 1999 until when Austin left in November 1999, Rock outdrew Austin 23 of the 42 weeks Austin was there in 1999, making Rock 23, Austin 19, Austin therefore loses head to head against Rock and The Rock was the biggest draw of 1999, :



23-19, Rock was the bigger draw than Austin since at least January 1999(it’s actually before this which we’ll get to below... take a breath before you see it though)


Even in mid 1998 Rock was beating Austin and it was back and forth until Rock over took him in late 1998, such as August 24, 1998 Rock as Intercontinental champion outdrew WWF champion Austin going until Summerslam 1998... lol:

I’ve been saying this the whole time.

Add in H as the third in rotation with a sprinkle of Angle.

Do you have numbers to back that up?? Pretty certain whatever card from that time period would've had Austin on top

@RLStern you didn’t need to tag me. I wasn’t making a claim. Simply clarifying that was the period he mentioned. :cudi

And what is the citation of this source? Because normally you attach a bullshit, opinion based video. But this is literally just some random numbers with no reference point.

This Hurri-Stern is blowing a lot of hot air at the moment.
