hbk was in retirement when rocky got hot, when hbk returned to wrestling, rocky was retired

also obvious answer is neither would put the other over

The Rock laid down for plenty of people

Shawn's fragile ego couldn't have handled being booed when facing the great one.

Rock thought Shawn was a no-dimes dickhead. He was right.

Rock was never on hbks level in ring and was unworthy of the match

There was a rumour that HBK said something horrible to Rocky's mother before he was ever in WWF. Some versions say it was a racist remark. The Rock never forgot this, and refused to ever work a match with HBK years later. This story has never been confirmed by anyone though, so it could be horseshit.

The Rock doesn't like him. Triple H saw Rock as competition, and he and Michaels tried to cut Rock's legs off. In 1997, Bret Hart was booked to go over Rocky clean, but Bret got the finish changed to a NC, because he thought Rock had potential to be a top guy. Made the Kliq seethe apparently.

So Rock always respected Bret and disliked Michaels.

based Bret helping the biz

hi wolfcuck

between helping Austin’s get over and having Rocky’s back with the clique it’s safe to say Bret started a attitude era and saved wrestling for a decade.

The only person who'd probably know something like that would be Cornette.

What is it with The Rock and making Kliq members seethe?

>hurr Rock hated Shawn and refused to work with him!

The Rock was a midcarder when Shawn was on top, then he was shelved for 4 years and Rock had his entire career during that period. If Shawn was active during the attitude era these two would have had loads of matches together. Rock even said at the HoF when inducting his dad that he’d like to get in the ring with HBK.

Bret was a good guy and good guys eventually get fucked over by those close to them.

Gays often times are catty to each other like girls.

Michaels when he was in the Rockers days, have disrespected Dwayne's grandmother so this is one reason why he refused to have a match with him.

It is. Rock has said since then, that one of his biggest regrets was not being able to work with Shawn Michaels.

The real reason, was Shawn was just a pilled-up dickhead, and Rock and Bret were cool, so he sided with Bret.

When he first retired The Rock wasn't even the leader of The Nation, so if they were to even have a match then it would've been something like a ten minute match on RAW. When he came out of retirement, The Rock was on his way out of being in WWE full time.

True.
Rock never really cared about wins and losses. However, it was said the Clique tried to bury a young Rock. And Rock legit had bad blood with many from the group.

Should have been at Mania XIX:

Rock vs HBK
Austin vs Hogan
HHH vs RVD
Jericho vs Catering
