10 Best Post-WrestleMania WWE Raw Moments
4. Stone Cold Takes The Hard Way (1998)
Few WrestleMania title coronations have felt as meaningful as the one we witnessed in 1998, the year in which Stone Cold Steve Austin formally ushered in the Attitude Era with a Mike Tyson-aided victory over Shawn Michaels.
The following night on Raw is War, Austin reaffirmed his status as a champion for and by the people when he rejected Vince McMahon's pleas for conformity, making clear to everyone watching that he was going to dance to the beat of his own drum.
Offered an olive branch by the WWE chairman, the Texas Rattlesnake responded with a Stone Cold Stunner, an image that we would be seeing a lot of over the next three years, and one that has historically come to encapsulate everything great about the period.
This is exactly how you break in a new face of the company on the night following their inaugural title victory. Too many times since, we've seen the babyface get spat on and downtrodden, when what fans really want to see is their man raising hell and telling the authority where to go.
