8. Stone Cold Comes Home - WrestleMania X-Seven
In 2001, Stone Cold Steve Austin was still the most popular wrestler in the world, but right behind up at a close second was The Rock. Heading into WrestleMania X-Seven, the pair were in a fierce feud over The Rocks WWF Championship, and at any other time and place, it would have likely been a split crowd between the two babyfaces. However, WrestleMania X-Seven took place in Austins home state of Texas, and theres nothing quite like a hometown pop so when The Rattlesnake returned to Texas for WrestleMania X-Seven, the crowd nearly tore the roof off. The audience was firmly on Austins side throughout, even when The Rattlesnake infamously joined forces with Vince McMahon to ensure he walked out champion, the crowd didnt quite know how to react. The decision to have Austins heel turn to occur in his home state is most likely the reason the turn wasnt well received, as Texan fans just dont want to boo Austin, no matter what hes up to in the ring. That night, he proved why hes one of the most popular superstars ever by still getting some of the loudest pops in WrestleMania history, even after allying with the most evil character the WWF had ever seen.
