The Rock Gives Praise To Former Heavyweight Champion

Today was the 20 year anniversary of No Mercy 2000. ESPN’s MMA Writer Ariel Helwani took to Twitter to share a memory of attending the event at The Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York.

Twenty years ago today, my four buddies and I drove down to Albany, NY to watch @RealKurtAngle beat @TheRock to win the WWF title for the first time at No Mercy. What a night it was. Big anniversary every year. Still can’t believe Rikishi did that to SCSA. https://t.co/tdRK0uMSV6

This was the most important match of my career. I won my 1st wwe world title against one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time, not to mention most popular celebrity I know. @TheRock helped me so much very early in my career. I will always hold him in high regard. https://t.co/t9Ars1Uw8e
