Rock/Austin

The matches that make history are the ones we still discuss today. Ricky Steamboat and Ric Flair. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. The Rock and Steve Austin. Rock-Austin was the quintessential rivalry of passing the torch to the next guy.
A three-match series that titillated all of us with great promos, exciting moves in the ring and the give-and-take needed to make this kind of event special. I love watching two wrestlers making a rivalry look like ballet. That’s what made Flair-Steamboat special.
The same goes for Rock-Austin. The wrestling may not have been as good, but everything leading up to it was just as good, if not better at times.
