IF YOU WANT TO SEE ME DO A LIST ON STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN GIVE ME A HELL YEAH! Was that a hell yeah? Good so let's crack open some Steveweisers and get to the bottom line!
10) The Grocery Store Brawl - This moment is memorable and hilarious looking back at it. It all started after Booker cost Austin the undisputed title at Vengeance and Booker T quickly realised he fucked up more or less and was on the run from the rattlesnake but he could not escape his bite.
9) Austin Helps Mankind Win The WWF Title AKA The Pop Heard Around The World - Back in 1999 The Rock aligned with the Corporation and they were against Mankind at the time. Rock Vs Mankind took place with Mankind as the ultimate underdog and no one thought that he had a chance to achieve victory. Stone Cold‘s alliance with DX helped keep McMahon’s gang out of the way as Austin hit The Rock with a steel chair in order to ensure Mankind’s victory. The badass wrestler who didn’t trust anybody came in to save the day and show that anyone can be a champion. WCW funny enough leaked the results of this match thinking wwf would lose viewers but 600,000 people turned off from wcw and into WWF to see Mr's Foley's Baby Boy win the big one!
8) The Beer Bath - This badass moment occurred during before Mankind won his championship match against The Rock. The Rock taunted Mankind in front of the crowd and then suddenly Stone Cold showed up in a Coors Light beer truck and drove through the stage entrance in order to get to the ring. It was so badass that it will never happen again.
7) Austin V Owen - At Summerslam 97, Austin was set to face off against Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Title with the added stipulation of Austin having to kiss Hart’s ass if he were to lose. Unfortunately, Austin would suffer a broken neck after a botched piledriver from Hart, but would still go on to win the match and the title. Austin would eventually have to relinquish the title along with the tag championship, but would continue to stay on screen in order to keep his momentum in the Hart feud going. He would return at Survivor Series of that year and would defeat Hart to again win the Intercontinental Title and a slew of new fans by showing a level of toughness rarely seen in wrestling. While the injury ultimately shortened Austin’s career, the time away from the ring allowed Austin to grow as an on-screen performer, perhaps even more so than when he was wrestling.
6) Austin V Bret - Austin was just starting to shine in his stone cold gimmick at the time this feud was happening. Austin and Hart was the rivalry that kicked off what would eventually be known as the Attitude Era. After Hart's comeback at Survivor Series in November 1996, the two grapplers continued their rivalry into early 1997. This match had it all: the biggest star in the WWF, the fastest rising star in the WWF, and one of the most successful UFC fighters of the era. Add in the notoriously vocal Chicago wrestling audience, and you just knew this was going to be something special. The ending of the match marked a major turning point for the future of the company. Austin and Hart pulled a double switch where the heel Austin officially became the company's top babyface, and the long time babyface Hart became the company's top heel. It was done masterfully, as Bret synched in his Sharpshooter while the tough Texas Rattlesnake refused to submit. The iconic images of a bloodied Austin attempting to power out of the Sharpshooter are well known, but in the end Austin could not get out as he passed out from blood loss. Shamrock stopped the match, raising Hart's hand in victory, but the audience was most impressed with the fact that Austin was so tough that he would pass out before he would submit. Hart's heel turn occurred when he did the lowest thing one could do at this point: he kicked the passed out Austin while he was down. As Hart left the Rosemont Horizon to a chorus of boos, Austin exited to cheers when he walked out under his own power, refusing any assistance from officials. This marked the start of Austin's run as the company's top babyface, a run that would carry the company to unparalleled heights in the coming years.
5) Austin & Tyson - What happens when the baddest man in sports entertainment meets the baddest man on the planet? A unforgettable moment will occur. Austin would flip Tyson the bird, and a brawl between the two erupted, giving way to chaos. The moment would kick off a monumental road to WrestleMania that saw increased media attention and the hottest story line the company had created for its signature event in years much of which could be credited to Austin's gruff exterior and take-no-prisoner personality.
4) The First McMahon Stunner - The stunner that kicked off the authority hatin' hell raising side and era of the rattlesnake kicked off when this hit Vince. It was not a particularly good stunner but as i said it kicked off a hell of a memorable rivalry and made wwe history.
3) Austin V Rock - I can't put just one moment of their monumental rivalry on this list so i have to list it as one full item and the clinics the guys put on be it promos, single matches on raw, or big fights at wrestlemania, both men helped bring each other to the top and make a big money fight one of the best rivalries in all of sports entertainment happen!
2) Austin V McMahon - What can you say about their rivalry it was just like number 3 a monumental one and so entertaining and just so good and gripping it made good tv and it made history! I don't honestly know what else to say because everyone knows this rivalry and it is and was amazing!
1) Austin 3:16 Promo - This promo kicked off everything that is good and holy in the WWE, that being the Attitude Era! This promo took Austin to new heights and the WWF into a new direction and it was well needed and it's still one hell of a moment!
And that's the bottom line! Thanks for stopping by and reading this list! Stay tuned and book mark and stop by again for more!
