The Rock's WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best

By John Bills /

5. Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - WrestleMania XV

The weakest of the trilogy between the two biggest icons of an era, this is still a damn fine match in its own right. The WWF was running far, far away from WCW at this point, and a lot of that was down to Austin and The Rock. This was 1999 though, and a straight-up wrestling match between the two biggest stars simply wasn't going to happen. Before the match even begins we see Vince McMahon and Commissioner Shawn Michaels get involved, with Vince trying to replace Mankind as special guest referee but being thwarted by HBK. The match was a 100mph brawl, heading up the entrance aisle early on before heading back down to ringside to show the Spanish announce table what for. Numerous referees go down, a few at the hands of Rock and Vince, before Mrs. Foley's baby boy returns to implement law an order. Austin hits a number of Stunners to pick up the win. and the greatest trilogy in World Wrestling Entertainment history was kicked off in style.
