New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Austin/McMahon rivalry was one of the single biggest things to hit Monday nights. Adding in characters like The Rock, Shane McMahon, Big Show, Kane/Undertaker, etc. put a lot of profit into this rivalry which fans knew from the start would take the WWE to epic heights. Everything from Austin being arrested to McMahon peeing his pants, the zamboni, and so on made this rivalry and every segment with Austin and/or McMahon watchable.
