1. The Rock Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (WrestleMania 17)
It's an easy pick for Rock's greatest match ever. It'd be Austin's best match ever if Bret Hart never existed. It's something of an Attitude Era 'greatest hits' waged amongst the period's two most prolific pillars. Attitude went to the grave under the elevated roof of a stadium packed to capacity. There, two all-time greats magnificently paced themselves through a titanic struggle without limits. Does the ending in which Austin turns heel, accepting aid from Vince McMahon, hurt the match any? I'd say no, just that the story of Austin's desperation should have been better told in the ensuing weeks and months. The match itself is the epitome of the old cliche, where the participants 'left it all' in the ring, as well as scattered about the entire ringside area.
