To be honest - That "My Way Or The Highway" song is still one of my favorites at current (probably somewhere in my top 75)....and that's solely because of The Rock/Austin build up from WM-17.

"Someday you'll see things my way" was also quite fitting for the fact that Austin/McMahon joined forces. Although the Austin heel turn was obvious (atleast from my perspective), it was still a shock to see it unfold.

That Texas crowd that night was also unbelievable. As JR pointed out (during the broadcast), it was a VERY partisan crowd (97%+ were cheering Austin). Heck - every time The Rock landed ANY offense the in the first 5 minutes, he got a HUGE chorus of boo's!

To me - that Austin/Rock match from WM-17 rivaled any World Series game 7, in terms of atmosphere.

An absolutely amazing match, and amazing build up. Ironically enough - that Austin/Rock match would mark the END of the Attitude Era....and would mark the beginning of a medicore WWE product (with only occasional snippets of brilliance).
