It’s no surprise that Steve Austin would be in the top 10 on this list. As one of the biggest WWF/E stars in company history, he obviously would have to have had several WrestleMania moments. Everyone’s favorite Bionic Redneck had a hell of a run from 1997-2003, main-eventing three WrestleManias (XIV, XV and X-Seven) and winning the WWF Championship at each.

Austin also fought in a losing effort to Bret Hart at WrestleMania XIII in an “I Quit” match that would put him on the fast track to the main event. He had a forgettable match against Scott Hall at Mania X-8 before losing his last match at WrestleMania XIX against the Rock.

Since then, Austin has come back on multiple occasions to serve as a guest referee at WrestleMania, most notably at XX and XXIII. Many fans still hold out hope that the Rattlesnake will have one more WrestleMania payday in him.
