10 Greatest Finishing Sequences In Wrestling History
5. Steve Austin Does Not Quit (WWE WrestleMania 13)
Heading into the 13th Showcase of the Immortals, The Texas Rattlesnake occupied the role of dastardly a-hole, whereas Bret "The Hitman" Hart sat as the valiant hero screwed out of the WWF Championship.
As the pair's long-awaited 'Mania blow-off started to unfold, though, it soon became clear that something was beginning to snap inside of the frustrated babyface.
Hart had already exploded somewhat on the Raw before 'Mania 13, but his relentlessness throughout his vicious fight with Austin on The Grandest Stage was what finally sealed his legendary turn to the dark side.
Battling through the pain and a legendary crimson mask, fans had already begun to rally behind the supposed antagonist Austin before he was locked into that last fateful Sharpshooter. But the sight of him simply refusing to give in to the pain, passing out as Hart claimed the win, firmly established The Bionic Redneck as the company's next top face.
If that masterful finish wasn't enough, Hart then proceeded to cement his position as the biggest w*nker in the building by targeting his rival after the bell. A battered Austin's stunning of a ref trying to aid the wounded anti-hero on his way out then put the finishing touches on a finishing sequence for the ages.
