Occasional Pre-Show
A lot of people point out how many losses Rock took as a main eventer and a massive draw. His 1998 IC title reign was booked pretty weak, even for a heel champ of that era.
December 1997
Degeneration X (ppv) - Pinned clean by Steve Austin (IC Champion)
Next Night- Austin forfeits IC title to Rock
1998
Royal Rumble- Pinned clean by Ken Shamrock, decision is reversed
No Way Out- 8 Man Tag, taps clean to Shamrock
WrestleMania- Taps clean to Shamrock, decision is reversed
Unforgiven- 6 Man Tag, pinned clean by Farooq
Over The Edge- Pins Farooq after rolling him up when hes distracted
King of the Ring- Semi Finals- Pins Dan Severn after D-Lo's interference. Finals- Taps clean to Shamrock
Fully Loaded- Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Vs. Triple H. Both get 1 fall from cheating. Triple H pedigrees him as time expires. Draw.
Summer Slam- Ladder Match vs Triple H. Triple H wins the IC title after Mark Henry and China interfere.
Rock didn't beat anyone for the IC title. Shamrock basically beat him clean 4 times on ppv. You didn't expect heels to win clean in that era, but you didn't expect the IC champ to be booked like Rock was.
