Rock never needed to work with him.
And I say I every HBK thread...
He's the single most overrated wrestler ever. Never drew, wasn't worth the BS he pulled. People who complain about Cena or Roman, either weren't watching during his push or are willfully ignorant Cuz they like the dude.

I don't know how much I fully buy the Rock refused to work with him line. Is it possible nay probable 90s HBK was a prick to Rock oh absolutely. He was a prick to everyone he admits that he was a prick to basically everyone. HE came back in mid-late 2002 feuding with HHH then into the Mania feud with Jericho. Rock was busy on Smackdown at the time and left after Mania 19... only stopping in for like the Match at Mania 20. There was never really a time the two would have crossed in Michaels second run. I can buy that he didn't exactly go out of his way to work with him. Like, it isn't a state secret that Rock didn't like Shawn at times, but I have no real idea where things stood when he got sober. Rock and Triple H had beef, too, but they did business together and had good chemistry, so clearly Rock could set stuff aside or get past it. I would think Rock would realize there was money to be made in the match and would have done it, but the timing was never right. As I said earlier Shawn came back as Rock was on his way out (and were on seperate shows back when that mattered) and then Rock didn't return for a match until 2012, 2 years after Shawn had retired. Rock not only being willing to work with HHH and recognizing that HHH is one of the people that helped put over Rock as a star before kinda shows he didn't manage working with members of the Klique. (they put each other over really but not my point) Also even if Shawn was active in 2012 the money match at that point was Cena. I think there would have been money to be made with a Shawn/Rock feud especially for the promos... but the two were never really at the same place at the same time.
