Great debut, or greatest?
I still remember seeing that, and wondering what the hell just occurred. Man, Brock was a monster.

Before I clicked on this and saw that it was Attitude Era and current, I knew the clip would be of Brock. Yeah, that was a pretty awesome way to debut.

The definition of the term "taking his ball and going home". Fixed.

agreed. although i'd say Kanes/Jericho's debut only beats his because of its buildup That's why I didn't think to put them. Kane and Jericho debuting was cool, but you knew who they were. Brock, it was like "WHO OR WHAT IS THAT?!"

I loved his quick and easy dismantling of the Hardys in his first real fued aswell.

I loved his quick and easy dismantling of the Hardys in his first real fued aswell. Especially where he crushed Planet Stasiak for somehow losing their tagmatch before he even got to the ring. Which doesn't make sense if you think about the fact that somehow the bell would ring without him even being there.

Brock, it was like "WHO OR WHAT IS THAT?!" agreed. but i'll still say Taker's debut was better. he went out against 4 mid-card/semi main event guys and they didn't even phase him. the entire time they were building up about how his expression didn't even change once then entire time. i loved that

See I didn't have any idea who Brock was or if he was just another hoss...but I knew the minute I saw Heyman with him that I should pay attention.
This is what WWE needs to realise when debuting people that aren't that well known. If you stick them with an established person then the fans will hone in immediately.

Heyman was a great hype man there at ringside - pounding the mat and shouting. That was good stuff.
Where have all the good managers gone?

I was there LIVE !
My buddy turned to me and asked me who he was and i told he was the next big superstar and Heyman dubbed him "The Next Big Thing" in a promo minutes following his debut.
True story.

Wasn't that match he messed up a hardcore title match? I was surprised no one tried to snatch it.
Though, Paul Heyman pinning one of them and getting it would of been awesome as a heel move.
