It was the dawn of a new millennium and the chance for two challengers to take The Rock's WWF Championship away from the paws of the Brahma Bull's grasp. This ended up being a brutal, edge-of-the-seat type of contest. This match could've easily taken a higher spot in this particular ranking, even the top. It was that good. This match was indeed a treat to watch.
When it was all said and done, three warriors entered the battlefield, but only one would emerge the victor. Unfortunately for the two challengers, The People's Champ had just a little more fuel in his tank, which resulted in Rocky retaining and leaving The Tarheel State with his title in tow.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
