#2 The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWE Championship (WWE WrestleMania X-7)
Trending
From one iconic feud in WWE history to another, there is a rivalry that defined the Attitude Era in many ways. Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock were the two biggest superstars of the most successful period in wrestling. Their first major clash was at WrestleMania 15 with Austin regaining the WWE Championship over The Great One.
Although they would have an even better contest at Backlash 1999, their more memorable rematch took place two years later. In what many fans call the greatest event ever, WrestleMania X-7, the headline encounter was The Rock defending the WWE Championship against Stone Cold Steve Austin. The two top babyfaces battled it out to determine who was the top star in the industry.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
This was totally different from their WrestleMania 15 contest where both men went at each other with elevated intensity. The clash was made into a No Disqualification Match just minutes prior to the bell, which led to the two WWE legends not holding anything back. Steel chairs were used and every big move in both men's arsenals was on display here.
The crowd in Houston's Astrodome was louder than most crowds in WWE history, which added to the blistering atmosphere. The two men didn't let any part of this match lag with non-stop action throughout.
Austin was an absolute machine and worked aggressively. His facial expressions told their own story and showed a range of emotions very rarely seen.
The Rock put on one of his best performances ever. He bumped around and made Austin look like a world beater for the entire duration. His chemistry with Austin was always amazing, but this match just took things to a whole new level. His determination, facial expressions and body language gripped every viewer into the drama of this main event.
The finish, with Austin turning heel and raining down 16 steel chair shots on The Rock was incredible to watch, as was what happened after the match. This is truly the greatest WrestleMania main event and quite possibly one of the best in WWE history. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin would close their Mania trilogy two years later in another great clash, but was unable to match this superb battle.
