10 Times A Stone Cold Steve Austin Pop Blew The Roof Off

10. First Title Win At WrestleMania XIV

Austin’s first WWE title win and WrestleMania moment came all the way back in 1998, but it still lives long in the memory.

The main event of ‘Mania saw the increasingly popular Austin come up against Mr WrestleMania himself, Shawn Michaels. Billed as one of the biggest occasions in WWE history and with an interesting side story involving Mike Tyson, all the pieces were in place for a top class main event.

After both Michaels and Austin delivered for just over 20 minutes of solid in ring action and with the referee knocked out, Austin hit the stunner on Michaels, ‘special enforcer’ Tyson swooped in to count the 1-2-3, and the Boston crowd went nuts.

Jim Ross proclaimed at the time that ‘the Austin era had begun’, and he wasn’t wrong. A truly memorable pop and one of the most prominent moments in WWE history.
