10 wild Wrestlemania Moments

#7. Stone Cold will NOT submit.

Stone Cold trapped in Bret Hart's Sharpshooter.

The pro wrestling world changed in the late 1990s. No longer content with white bread babyfaces going against black-hearted villains, the fans demanded more nuance. Perhaps that is why they cheered so strongly for Stone Cold Steve Austin, whose bullying and heelish ways only seemed to endear him to the audience.

Even with a new paradigm for heroics and villainy, there were still certain things that held true for fan favorites. One of those things was this; Good guys do NOT submit or tap out.

At the end of a classic, brutal match, a profusely bleeding Austin ended up in the clutches of Bret's sharpshooter. Despite bleeding like a stuck pig and in agony, Austin would not tap out. Eventually, he wound up passing out from the strain, and Bret Hart was named the winner.

By not tapping out, Austin cemented his status as a babyface, and by attacking Austin after the match with a chair, Bret turned into a full-on Heel.
