The Rock vs. Toronto in 2003 or HBK vs. Montreal in 2005

By Scott Keith on 25 March 2019

Hey Scott,

I was discussing these two promos with my friend the other day as they're both brilliant for different reasons. I said the HBK one was better and he said The Rock's was better. 


With The Rock's promo, his work was cut for him as the crowd wanted to cheer him badly and he still managed to turn them against him by the end. With Shawn Michaels, he was hated for obvious reasons, but the heat he was getting in that segment kept growing
and growing. I can't think of a time since when I was legitimately hating the heel as much as I was that night.

Which one was better to you?


"He said our city's name!"  

Come on, I'm insulted you'd even call this a fair fight.
