I'm with you on Rock - we've said it on these timelines, but Rock was clearly gold for months by the time Summerslam came around, and it was when he did the People's Elbow on the ladder on Trips that it almost felt like the rest of the world figured it out at once. An awesome feeling to get in on the ground floor with the guy and ride the wave of success with them to the top, a massively missing element nowadays because "elevations" are only elevations to a point.
But the month or two we're discussing at the moment, September and October, is that golden time where Rock hasn't really done anything to turn babyface, he's just being The Rock, feuding with top guys, looking great and acknowledging the crowd just that little bit more.
