What held them together as a Team: The Rock was the larger than life alpha male, while Foley is in many ways a gamma male. Their foil chemistry was off the charts, and interview segments featuring the Connection are among the most treasured memories of Attitude Era fandom.

The Rock should have perhaps been named the Rocket for how quickly he ascended from the mid card to the main event scene during the Attitude Era. While ostensibly a face, the Rock often behaved in heelish ways, including bullying announcers and making fun of even babyface wrestlers.

Mankind, in the meantime, was the (usually) soft spoken and mild mannered underdog who everyone loved to root for. Unlike Rock, he was not chiseled and muscular. However, their unique chemistry made for some of the best segments of the Attitude Era.

The tandem managed to capture the WWE tag team titles three times, more reigns than Demolition or Strike Force. Wow!
