5 Best WWE Main Events in History

#4 The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (Wrestlemania X-Seven - April 1, 2001)

Stone Cold makes an unholy alliance with Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania X-7

Wrestlemania X-7 represented the peak of the famed "Attitude Era" of WWE and represented the beginning of the end of the company's last boom period.

The headline match was responsible for pulling a then record one million pay per view orders as WWF Champion The Rock faced off with Stone Cold Steve Austin in "The Rattlesnake's" home state of Texas.

The feud was an excellent one. Stone Cold who had been sidelined for 10 months due to spinal surgery had seen The Rock usurp him as the number one star in the promotion.

After losing a heavily hyped match with Triple H, a month earlier in a bout where he was supposed to gain revenge on the man who masterminded and orchestrated a plot to have him run over and end his career at the 1999 Survivor Series, an increasingly paranoid Stone Cold doubted whether he could defeat The Rock.

In a 28 minute stunner, Stone Cold threw everything he had at the Champion but could not put him down for the three count no matter what.

Both men utilized moves rarely seen in their repertoires as both dug deep in thrilling non-stop action as they pushed for victory.

After interference from former enemy, WWE boss, Vince McMahon and 16 chair shots to Rock, Stone Cold finally earned the match-winning pinfall.

Shaking hands and sharing a beer with McMahon post-match, Stone Cold had sold his soul for the WWF Championship.
