Austin was feuding with Owen and the Hart Foundation, but they all left after Survivor Series and Austin needed a new opponent. He got Rocky. Almost to a man, the reaction at the time was like why is Rocky getting another chance? Austin was the hottest guy in the business and they were sticking him with this guy?

But in that feud he became The Rock and turned into a star. Sometimes guys get hot right away, some times it takes another try, and some guys never make it no matter how many times they get pushed (Billy Gunn leaps to mind).
Any guy in the company would have been over with what they gave to H, he wasn't given time to change his character....he was given Stephanie McMahon and a ton of camera time.

But I always enjoyed how some guys would just be pushed down everyones throat while other guys got once chance and were deemed failures to never be heard from again.
