Without question, Stone Cold Steve Austin will go down in the record books as one of the biggest draws this business has ever seen. Although his few appearances at WrestleMania disqualify him from ranking higher on this list, the mark he made on the grandest stage of them all is simply too iconic to be ignored. Every WrestleMania he headlined, records were set for the biggest buy rates of all-time; whether it was his battles against The Rock at WrestleManias 15 and 17 or championship clash with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 14, Stone Cold was a huge draw at The Show of Shows during The Attitude Era. Even the events he wasn't in action at, WrestleManias 20, 21, 23 and 27 all grossed over one million pay-per-view buys, showing that he doesn't need to be lacing up his boots in order to draw in the audience.
