10 Biggest Babyface Wins At WrestleMania
1. Steve Austin Vs. Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania XIV)
As aforementioned in a previous entry, there were few - if any - like Steve Austin. Arguably, Austin's 'Stone Cold' persona usurped Hulk Hogan's babyface success. Certainly, when looking at pure numbers, many point to Austin as the biggest star in the history of WWE. Everyone may have their own favourites, but 'The Rattlesnake' was killer in terms of business.
WrestleMania XIV featured his first coronation as WWF Heavyweight Champion. A pained Shawn Michaels, suffering from serious back pain, was the opponent, and he helped his successor look like a million bucks. The match itself had thrilling moments, but it's the conclusion which lives longest in the memory.
Seeing Austin, a true babyface creation of the people, hoist the top title aloft was history-making.
In his own mind, Steve Austin had been ready to lead for years. Finally, come 1998, Vince McMahon was willing to hand him the proverbial ball and let him run with it. Everything clicked; fans were ferocious in their support of Austin, his character was on fire, and his in-ring work had evolved into a beautiful brawling style.
History will tell you that 'Stone Cold' is the hottest babyface champ in WrestleMania history.
