Stone Cold Steve Austin's 5 Greatest Matches

#4 Stone Cold vs. Dude Love (Over The Edge 1998)

Steve Austin and Mick Foley might be the two best brawlers that the pro-wrestling business has ever seen. And this match that they put on at Over The Edge 1998 is what every Street Fight or Falls Count Anywhere match aspires to be today.

The two former tag team partners had been embroiled in an heated rivalry after Dude Love had turned on Austin and chosen to serve Austin's arch nemesis, Vince McMahon. The two friends-turned-enemies met at Over The Edge in 1998, with Vince McMahon serving as the special guest referee.

Back then, a villainous referee was not as common in wrestling as it is today and that in turn added an extra layer of drama to the match.

The stipulation of the match would change at Mr. McMahon's whim. It went from a one fall match to a no disqualification match and finally turned into a falls count anywhere match.

By the end of it, the two future Hall of Famers had brawled their way into creating a masterpiece--Something that would stand the test of time, and is to this day considered as the benchmark for any falls count anywhere match.
