In response to "Semirelated: The Rock vs. Brock was 20 years ago today, and that's when the Rock retired as a full time talent after only 6 years in the business....." by Remlik

His heyday and Austin's big-time run both only lasted 6 years total with gaps for injury / movies

Austin went nuclear in March 97 at WM13 and was done by WM19 in 2003. He missed at least 18 months with injury and walk-outs.

Rock debuted in fall 96 and was done August 02 and he missed time in 01/02 to film Scorpion King and Rundown.


That's the stuff that kills me why Vince would refuse to book guys approaching 40 as huge deals -- I can't capitalize on them for 10 years!

2 of your 3 biggest stars were done after 5 years total you dumbass!
