Stone Cold Steve Austin's 6 WWE Title Reigns Ranked Worst To Best
Austin drank beer and raised hell like no one else, but he still had some damn great title reigns!
When talking about the WWE champions, one that quickly comes to everyone's mind is, without any doubt, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
From the way 'The Texas Rattlesnake' walked with the title belt, to the unforgettable moments, segments and matches the guy had with some with the most iconic pro wrestlers of all time, as both a babyface and a heel, Austin really took the strap to a whole new level.
From WrestleMania XIV in March 1998 to Vengeance in December 2001, Steve Austin held the WWE Championship on six different occasions, with each title reign feeling different from all the others.
Since Austin never had any particularly bad reign in his career (nor did he come close to one) - there are just some that were not as epic as others, hence the low positions they'll occupy on this particular list. Some had classic matches with the likes of Mick Foley, Kurt Angle or The Rock; others had classic moments with Undertaker, Kane or, of course, Vince McMahon. Then, some had both.
So sit back, relax, drink a whole damn six pack of beers and enjoy our list as we rank Stone Cold Steve Austin's reigns as WWE Champion from worst to best.

When looking at Stone Cold Steve Austin's legendary title reigns, it's a big struggle to come up with a particular reign that was his worst. "His what?" we can hear you scream. Well, we actually mean his "not as good as the other ones" one.
As the heartless leader of The Alliance, Stone Cold won back his coveted WWE Championship from Kurt Angle on RAW, just a few weeks after dropping it to 'The Olympic Hero' at Unforgiven. Stone Cold, as the reigning champion, would soon turn face The Rock, on behalf of Team WWF, dispatched The Alliance from the company, once again reigning supreme as the beloved hell raiser.
However, Austin would end up losing the strap to Chris Jericho at December's Vengeance, who was already the World Champion and therefore, by beating Stone Cold became the very first Undisputed Champion thanks to Booker T.
So, a two month title reign that saw him go from heel to babyface, being in a marquee feud that didn't involve his title for most of this reign and losing just a couple of weeks after turning is what makes Steve Austin's last reign his worst one as WWE Champion.
