21. The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin WrestleMania 15
There are some rivalries that just transcend their original billing. The Rock versus Steve Austin is one of those rivalries that you knew was going to be special as it unfolded, but even Vince McMahon couldnt have imagined how electric it was. WrestleMania 15 was the first of three Mania matches between the two, at the height of the Attitude Era and at a point when WWF had turned the tide completely against WCW and was beginning to open up a huge lead on the backs of Rock and Austin.The match itself was an overbooked mess (as was a lot of the stuff that came out during Vince Russos reign), but it was entertaining and had a charged Philly crowd behind it. This was Rocks first taste of the main event, and he didnt squander the opportunity. Austins post-match celebration and beatdown of McMahon adds a little more flavor to it, something you dont get to see anymore these days the babyface physically getting comeuppance on the authority figure.
