5 of The Rock's Greatest WWE matches

#1 The Rock vs Stone Cold (WrestleMania 17)

The two biggest stars in wrestling history

A match so big that it got to main event WrestleMania on three different occasions. The Rock and Stone Cold were the two biggest stars in wrestling during the peak years of the sport - the Attitude Era. And it is their second encounter at WrestleMania which is the best of the three encounters.

During the build up to this match, the anticipation among the fans was feverish. And the match itself delivered - and then some. The pacing was perfect, the selling was perfect, the storytelling was perfect. And although the finish might not be everybody's cup of tea, it was a truly shocking heel turn by Stone Cold at that point in time.

The Attitude Era began with Stone Cold turning face against Bret Hart four years earlier, and it ended with Stone Cold reverting back to the dark side, bringing to a close the most successful era in wrestling history. It could not be more fitting.
