Main Event - Steve Austin Vs The Rock WrestleMania 17 was very much the pinnacle of the Attitude Era. With Steve Austin versus The Rock as the main event, it pulled 1,040,000 buys, up significantly from the 824,000 of WrestleMania 2000. It also ranks as the greatest WrestleMania ever. There wasn't a bad match on the card, and several of the bouts ended up being considered timeless classics. There was The Undertaker versus Triple H, Chris Benoit versus Kurt Angle, the TLC II match, and of course, the main event. The star power was evident, with numerous big names in the prime of their careers. However, the shock Austin heel turn is seen as one of the factors that then caused business to tumble. In many ways, WrestleMania 17 was an end of an era.
