One of those things I have grown to appreciate is how Rock helped cultivate that reaction at SummerSlam. Few guys could play to a live crowd like Rock. He knew he was dropping the belt and he heard those boos, so he played into them and became a guy you wanted to see lose. It really fed the match a lot and make it a lot "cooler" when Brock won.
The WWE really should have kept Brock floating between both shows and really doubled down on the big man. I'm imagining what Brock vs. Austin or Brock vs. Michaels at Mania XIX could have been like. Or even just Brock vs. Angle with Triple H vs. Michaels underneath.
