10 Biggest Heel Victories At WrestleMania
5. The Rock Finally Beats Stone Cold ('Mania XIX)
WrestleMania XIX marked the third time that Steve Austin and The Rock had met on the largest show of the year. In 1999, they concocted quite the brawl at 'Mania XV, arguably topping themselves at 2001's 'Mania X-Seven.
2003's 'Mania XIX looked to be their last ever match together.
In the previous encounters, Austin had left with his hand raised in victory. WrestleMania XIX would mark a change, this was The Rock's turn to gain revenge, and his peer was only too willing to return the favour.
The bout didn't really live up to the lofty standards of their previous epics, but it was still an enjoyable collision nonetheless.
It was also genuinely interesting to see The Rock playing heel for the first time in years, using his Hollywood career as a reason to rub his success in the faces of fans. This would prove to be Austin's final match in a pro wrestling ring, and it's somewhat remarkable that he put over a major heel on his way out.
It's even more significant that The Rock was not a full-time WWE performer by this point, his focus was mainly on building his career in Hollywood. Fans were starting to cotton onto that, so it felt massive that he defeated Austin.
