“Stone Cold” Steve Austin vs. The Rock — WrestleMania XV
No rivalry, in our eyes, matches the intensity than that of The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Three times, they battled it out on The Grandest Stage of Them All, and their first ever encounter was during WrestleMania XV. This was fight against Mr. McMahon’s hand-picked corporate champion against the Superstar that The Chairman did not want to be the face of WWE. No fan could tell who would come out victorious and this was a fight where there were no rules, from a headband to a steel chair, anything went. In the end, “Stone Cold” executed a blistering Stunner to insure his win in the hard-fought victory. Do you think he received some corporate gift baskets after this stunner?

Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels — WrestleMania XII
For fans of the WWE New Generation, their dream match-up was between Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels. WrestleMania XII was a 60-Minute WWE Iron Man Match — a suitable, although unfamiliar, forum for the slow-burn “Hit Man” and cardio-freak Showstopper to duke it out. Not only did this match go over the hour it was granted but it’s universally loved and adored by all. Hart vs. Michaels is nothing short of a piece of art, what with the squared circle serving as their literal and figurative canvas. This was one for the records and I am sure they both got some life insurance quote online after it was all said and done.
