Great Wrestlemania Match: The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin--Wrestlemania XVII

Stone Cold Steve Austin demolishes the Rock with a folding steel chair at Wrestlemania XVII

Wrestlemania matches come in all varieties, but usually there is a lot of pomp, preening, and stare downs before the fists start flying, to build emotional resonance with the attending fans. However, this was NOT the case for the 'no-disqualification' match between Attitude Era icons The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Right off the bat, the match turned into a brutal slugfest, with the wrestlers battling it out in the crowd. They were certain to use scientific wrestling as well, as both would lock in sharpshooters and other submission moves on one another.

What really amped up this match was both the no DQ stipulation, which ensured there would be a decisive winner and cleared the way for foreign object use, and the fact that Austin would turn heel mid-match, aligning himself with his former nemesis Vince McMahon. Jim Ross would declare that "Hell had frozen over" after Austin and McMahon celebrated in the ring together.
