to get attention during the Super Bowl
18+
Looks like a Seth Rollins match
it was fun
To get the RATINGS in order to DRAW THE DIMES, bro.
Did you watch regularly during that era? I was probably more pumped for that match than for the actual super bowl. Then again I was probably like 11 years old and wasn't a big football fan at the time. Watching it now it seems kinda lame but at the time I thought it was awesome.

Modern wrestling fans don't understand the concept of wanting to see matches between two guys who are over. They would rather watch two nobodies flop around the ring for 27 minutes.

You must be 18 or over to post on this medium
Not only was this at the peak of WWF's mainstream popularity, this was the peak of The Rock and Mankind's popularity and Mankind at his prime in the main event. This is also a really good gimmick match, with Vince and Shane's great heel commentary.

Underated

But every promotion besides WWE does have matches between 2 guys who are over...
To have it on for the Superbowl Halftime you numbskull.

Over to the 'beards, maybe.

I enjoyed this match apart from the goofy ending. Funk and Lawler worked this gimmick in Memphis and it was great.

Kind of goes part and parcel with the whole Attitude Era. It was the most experimental time ever in WWE. Not that it's always a good thing, as you had to wade through a lot of shitty concepts, like the Kennel from hell match, or Brawl for all for some examples.
Why is Vince better at commentary by himself than the 3 man teams that are going on now?

Because the 3 man teams are literally Vince arguing with himself
