#4 Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Scott Hall - WrestleMania X8

Ove
Overshadowed by the other NWO 'Mania bout

For the first time since WrestleMania VII in 1996, Steve Austin seemed like just another wrestler. Although the feud(s) between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin vs the NWO had been given plenty of airtime on RAW and SmackDown, WWE made it clear that The Rock vs Hulk Hogan was the vocal point.

The Toronto audience was hot for Austin as usual, but no one will ever forget the response Hogan vs Rock received, and even though Austin's match with Scott Hall occurred earlier on the show, there was just not enough love for 'The Bad Guy' as there was for Hogan.

Another major factor was that the match itself (between Austin and Hall) was just under 10 minutes. I feel due to all of this, the match has been very under-appreciated though the two got the best you could get out of the short time they had.

Austin would go on to win the match with one of the best Stone Cold Stunners he has ever delivered, as Jim Ross put it, '' A WrestleMania Stunner! ''.
