Why The Rock vs. John Cena feud was the greatest of all time

Others come close, but The Rock and John Cena might have been the best rivalry in WWE of all time

Rock/Austin

The Rock-Cena match had a feel like Steve Austin and The Rock

The matches that make history are the ones we still discuss today. Ricky Steamboat and Ric Flair. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. The Rock and Steve Austin. Rock-Austin was the quintessential rivalry of passing the torch to the next guy.

A three-match series that titillated all of us with great promos, exciting moves in the ring and the give-and-take needed to make this kind of event special. I love watching two wrestlers making a rivalry look like ballet. That’s what made Flair-Steamboat special.

The same goes for Rock-Austin. The wrestling may not have been as good, but everything leading up to it was just as good, if not better at times.
