In a similar fashion to the Two Man Power Trip, this is a team that was formed off the back of two hugely successful solo careers. Unlike Stone Cold and Triple H, though, the Rock 'n' Sock Connection was a solid face team.
Despite being rivals before their formation, their success was almost instant, as in their first match together as a team, they beat Undertaker and Big Show to win their first tag team belts. That started a flurry of tag teams exchanging the belts on a frequent basis—The Connection lost the belts in a Buried Alive match, due to interference from Triple H, but they were quickly regained two weeks later.
The Rock 'n' Sock Connection then dropped the belts to The New Age Outlaws, who had recently reunited. Their most memorable moment as a team, however, was to come just a few days later.
It is long regarded as one of the highest rated segments in Raw history—when Mankind and The Rock did a This is Your Life segment, which will forever be remembered as one of the best moments of the Attitude Era.
They split soon after this, but continued to sporadically reunite until 2004. With five reigns as tag champions, The Rock 'n' Sock Connection will forever be remembered as one of the most entertaining teams of the Attitude Era.
