WWE: Top 25 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments

25. "I'm Guessing You Got A....15....20 Yard Start."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oFV6ZgJpiE On Monday Night Raw, nothing was held back nor was anything ever restricted. Possibilities abounded around every corner, and the more explicable moments came in the form of vehicular warfare. Superstars would show up in big rigs, milk trucks, motorcycles, and even beer trucks (who would ever do that?), but none were more recurring or high-octane than Stone Cold Steve Austin driving an ATV to the arena on select nights. Austin's new ride, or as Vince McMahon referred to as the "Sheriff-mobile", first made its grand debut on March 1st, 2004, and the moment Austin drove on down to the ring the crowd knew that the Ruthless Aggression Era was lively inspired from the early conventions of the Attitude Era. The Rattlesnake's ride, a Polaris 700cc 4x4, or what he himself referred to as the "Redneck Special", became a late staple in Austin's career, following in the footsteps of the zamboni and beer truck as a genuine crowd thriller. From time to time Austin would make a grand appearance and chase down would-be talent at full speed, sending them scurrying for cover while the audience enjoyed every pleasurable second of it. Austin even went so far as to bring his Redneck Special to Wrestlemania on several occasions, his most memorable being at Wrestlemania 25 after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009. When that most famous titantron played one last time and Stone Cold roared out of the entrance on his ATV, everyone knew it was a Wrestlemania moment right then and there. The crowd stood taller than the stadium that night. It's moments like that that are most memorable in the career of a man who spanned two unique timelines in the WWE. Starting off this countdown with a moment that ended with Steve Austin's Career seems suitable, and perhaps an exciting way of looking back at the other moments that made him both infamous and undying in the wrestling world.
