Why The Rock vs. John Cena feud was the greatest of all time

Others come close, but The Rock and John Cena might have been the best rivalry in WWE of all time

A year in the making

The WWE did the right thing in building this to be the greatest event of all time

Wrestling has gotten away from the idea of feuds that span the test of time. Usually, there are three matches at various pay-per-view events and then each would move on. The greatest thing about this rivalry is it took a year to build, it remained fresh and each time either wrestler was on television to discuss the match, the crowds lit up with excitement.

This was the single best build-up WWE has had since Hulk Hogan finally meeting Ric Flair. The only difference is Hogan-Flair did not deliver. This one delivered in every way possible. In sport’s terms, it was the ultimate tennis match. No one gained a clear advantage.
