10 Best WWE Matches Of 1997
9. Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs. Shawn Michaels (King Of The Ring)
It's a concept that would be beaten into the ground in short order: Tag Team Champions that hate each other's guts. Austin and Michaels won the belts out of mutual dislike for the Hart Foundation, and then were programmed together for a wild match at the King of the Ring, one without a winner.
Early on, the two actually pieced together a tremendous wrestling match full of nifty counters (prior to Austin changing his style after August for obvious reasons), before it degenerated into chaos after both men assaulted referees in the heat of the moment.
Granted, neither man could really lose this one, so the screwy finish did serve its purpose. Until that point, it's a different type of incredible Austin match.
