10 Times Irresistible Forces Met Immovable Objects In Wrestling
2. Steve Austin Vs. The Rock
Much like Triple H and Cactus Jack, Steve Austin and The Rock met several times before contesting the WWE Title.
Indeed, many of their early matches were over the Intercontinental gold, then a championship deemed a stepping stone to the main event scene. Both Austin and The Rock would get there, and their paths would cross again.
Working no less than three WrestleMania matches against one another, 'The Rattlesnake' and 'The Great One' had tremendous chemistry. At both WrestleMania XV and X-Seven, it'd be Austin who emerged as the winner.
That wouldn't change until 'Mania XIX, when Austin put his most famous opponent over in what proved to be his last match ever.
Complete opposites when it came to personality, their characters nonetheless shared a bond. Both were said to be extremely strong-willed, something that carried over into their matches.
Kicking out of one another's finishing moves regularly, there was an air of 'can you top this' surrounding each of their encounters.
Without doubt, Austin and The Rock created one of the most historic series of matches in WWE history. Such magic wouldn't have been possible without the other man.
