Triple H won the match and the Intercontinental but both men proved that they could be great main event players.
As the months passed Rock become the youngest WWF Champion (at the time) and Triple H would go on to dump DX and become one of the best heels in the history of the business

I agree with you on The Rock, but it wasn't that match that did it for me.
The Rock and Mankind-I Quit Match-Royal Rumble 1999. At least from the 'heel' side of The Rock I looked at him more as simply a guy who was full of himself. It was the first time I saw an actual 'believable' mean streak from The Rock. He lit Foley up with some of those chair shots while he had those cuffs on. The Rock and Mankind feud is what I believe put him on the Map.
Honorable mention for his early feud with HHH though
