www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lf9Ar861WsQuite possibly one of the most surreal main event segments i've ever seen. Especially when the 'Winner Take All' Survivor Series Match was 6 days away. I loved it though, just for it's pure insanity.

Ditto. I remember thinking WTF did I just watch, but I loved every moment of it.

That was pretty silly. The Rock and Steve Austin's ballad should go on iTunes.

This is simply a pure showcase of how great these 2 were and I love the touch of how they were just using one mic and the ever growing tension as they passed it back and forth.

Austin's character was at its silliest and it was within the Rock's range to go along with it. It made sense. Sort of.

Not to be out done, Triple H an Stephanie will sing a duet together on RAW this week.
But in all honesty, it was great, and it somehow worked. It was funny, it was entertaining, and it had real emotion. Using those 3 words is such a rarity in today's WWE *SIGH*

I'm not sure if this is how it was ever intended but I always looked at it the two great rivals having found a weird mutual respect and almost friendship with each other during their battles having a moment of togetherness before their last big showdown.
I'm not sure if i've explained it well but there's a scene in Assassin's Creed 3 where the main character and the guy he's been chasing for years share a drink before the main character kills him, and that's how I kinda see this.

A truly amazing go home week to SS. This segment is a classic to me, both men played it perfectly and just came off as the coolest thing ever. THEN they do one of the best SD finishes in history for the final show before SS, when everyone hits their finishers on eachother and Austin is the only one standing tall over the debris of main eventers glaring at McMahon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvDOVOQBNwgI love both segments so so much |

I clicked the link and rewatched the entire segment. My next move was to put 'Best Smackdown Ending Ever" into YouTube and watch the very SD ending you're speaking of. Nice to know that that was someone else first reaction as well  . |

This segment is like high art to me. I'm not always on board with the Rock, but in this segment it was just so bizarre, so unorthodox, so against what was ever envisioned when professional wrestling was conceptualized. Such a surreal thing.

I love Austin's big goofy smile when Rock says "You're from Texas, you like country music"

It's funny and all but was it really suitable? I mean it just shows to me how little respect they have for their audience these days, in a way. This was in the lead up to a big PPV for the that many fans would be excited about. Maybe I'm wrong but I suspect they wouldn't in the run up to WM3 have Hogan and Andre dueting on Superstars or Warrior and Savage singing 'Ebony and Ivory' prior to their career-ending match.
Comedy is fine and dandy in its place but I think it's a bit of a middle finger to fans when you interject it into a big event like this.

I was not on board for this at the time. I didn't understand why it was happening.
