[1999-08-22-WWF-Summerslam] The Rock vs Billy Gunn

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. "That large woman" is at ringside. Lawler makes lots of fat girl jokes that are pretty cruel and unfunny, which seems to be what this match was designed to do more than anything else. Jim Ross has his infamous horrible line and Rock gets the win to end the Billy Gunn experiment for good. Pretty bad in every way.

The Rock should be above this and it seems like he thought so too. This reminds me of when Russo brought in Bertha Faye in WCW in 2000. Jr's classic line might be his best call ever. I can't believe he did that with a straight face.

Rock just shoved Billy Gunn's face in that large woman's ass. That about sums up the stupidity of this.

Well, that's the merciful end of *that* Billy Gunn push. JR, in addition to his legendary line, actually puts over the asphyxiating effect of Billy Gunn's face in that large woman's ass.

[War is Raw]

Great symbol of Attitude Era "sports entertainment" to be honest.

Randomly select a match from this time and the in-ring work is going to be like Rock vs Gunn: unrealistic moves but fast paced. Just not believable, but over with the crowd.
