Having already had 4 WWF matches under his belt off the air and having spent some time in the USWA, Rocky Maivia made his debut at the 1996 Survivor Series pay per view, and all seemed to go as planned. Over the coming months, Rocky Maivia would capture the Intercontinental Championship and begin a run with the title. During this time, the fans began turning on Rocky, and it seemed like this "sure thing" rookie sensation was going to being floundering in the WWF. When all was said and done, The Rock's debut months in the WWF proved to be his most trying time within the company.
