At what point did wrestling (WWE) start to lose popularity?

Was it after WrestleMania X7? I know WWE continued to have it's moments but we look at it as 'smarks' aka internet geeks

IMO, as much as most of you think, I think once the people got to climax to Rock vs Austin, there was no need to watch wrestling anymore.

If Rock hadn't filmed his movie (which I fell asleep while watching) and went full fledged heel while Austin continued as a face, the product could've went further. Or had Triple played face feding with Austin, that would've been hot. Was it his idea to play second fiddle to Austin?
