Trending
Between 1997 and 2003, except 2000, Austin claimed a total of 36 eliminations. In fact, the 'Texas Rattle-Snake' won the match in his debut Rumble when he controversially eliminated Bret Hart, despite being already eliminated to claim victory.
Austin thrived in the success the Rumble match brought him, and with three Rumble wins, two of the victories resulted in him main eventing Wrestlemania with The Rock at the XV and X-7 editions respectively.

Austin and The Rock stole the show at both events and produced some of the best EVER ‘Mania main events all due to the groundwork laid by Austin at the Rumble event. But it was Austin's success in his inaugural tournament that saw him further cement his badass approach when he lasted longer than anyone else before, intensifying his feud with Bret Hart.
A true Rumble legend and many people would have expected him to be number one considering his success in that event during that time.
