Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Wrestlemania WWE Championship Matches

April 4, 2013

1 The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin: Wrestlemania 17

This one was one for the ages. After a feud that was hotter than any feud in professional wrestling history, Rock and Austin faced off in Houston, Texas. This was at the peak of both men’s careers. Austin was the best badass face in the company, while The Rock did not want to take a backseat to anybody. After multiple kickouts from finishers, Austin finally needed help from an unlikely source. The man who feuded with Vince McMahon for years sold his soul to the devil. He grabbed the chair and beat the hell out of The Rock to capture the WWE Championship. It was a moment that will stand still forever. The two men shook hands at the expense of The People’s Champion. The match itself was flawless, with everything you could ever ask for. The story could not have been written any better than it was that night 12 years ago.
