4. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold was the top star of one of the best ever Eras of WWE. He was extremely popular and talented. His bouts at WrestleMania became huge events with the help of feuds against The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Mike Tyson.
His match at WrestleMania XIII left fans with a lasting memory of Austin struggling to fight out of Bret Hart’s Sharpshooter with blood pouring out of his head. It was a match which more or less signalled the arrival of Stone Cold in the main event scene. His match with Bret Hart stood out. All of his seven matches were great wrestling works and though he main evented only 3 times, he performed well on those occasions.
