Austin's third WWE Championship reign kicked off after an anarchic main event with The Rock, easily the best match of WrestleMania 15. In taking the belt once more, Austin dethroned the reigning champion at WrestleMania for the second straight year, something that no single wrestler had done before.

Sure, Hulk Hogan left WrestleMania as the champion in many cases, but there were times where he was defending champion. The only 'Manias where Hogan won the belt were 5, 7, and 9. John Cena has won the belt at three different WrestleManias, but they were 21, 26, and 29.

In fact, Austin is the only man to pull off this feat with the WWE Championship when it comes to back-to-back WrestleManias. Undertaker did it with the World Heavyweight title at 23 and 24, but that's a different belt altogether.
