10 Best World Champions Of The WWE Attitude Era

It was never going to be anyone else, was it?

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's winning of the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 14 didn't just change his career, it changed the business.

With Austin sitting at the top of the pile, WWE were able to eventually see off the challenge of WCW and ultimately grow into the most successful wrestling promotion on the planet.

In 'The Texas Rattlesnake', fans had a fiery babyface figure they could fully get behind, with Austin hilariously clashing with his boss and regularly producing in-ring magic whenever a top prize was up for grabs.

Whether he was going toe-to-toe with 'The Great One', staring down The Undertaker, or locking horns with 'The Game', the explosive Texan usually found a way to come out on top and made the WWE Championship feel like the most coveted gold in the game.

And after throwing that gold over his head an impressive five times throughout the Attitude Era, with three of those wins coming in the main event of WrestleMania, it's safe to say Austin will go down in history as easily the most popular and successful World Champion to reign supreme during that glorious five year spell of madness.
