#5 Stone Cold vs The Rock II
Trending
From the match that set off the fuse, to the swerve that extinguished the flames from the explosion, there might not be a more impactful moment than this in WrestleMania history.
The WrestleMania x-seven main event saw Austin once again challenge the Rock for the title, this time in Texas where the Rattlesnake was untouchable.

Though the match itself was utter madness in the best possible way, the decision to have Vinny Mac emerge from the back and help Austin beat down the Rock to close the show is still perplexing.
Good old Jim Ross, of course, did his utmost to get this over, but the crowd in attendance did not exactly buy it, nor did the boys and girls back home who had seen the bottom fall out from beneath the biggest star there was.
Sure, this maybe could have worked out long term, but the simple fact is that it appears to have been done by the WWE because the competition (WCW) had been bought out mere days before and there were no longer consequences to doing whatever they felt like.
Since then, it is very hard to say the WWE has put on a pay-per-view anywhere close to what 17 was and certainly has not seen a star like Steve Austin, or even the Rock. Millions of fans stopped watching, which is all that needs to be said about the impact.
