No other moment, and I mean none, will ever top the sheer emotion and unpredictability of this. Stone Cold Steve Austin, the man who ushered in the Attitude Era, who perfected the anti-authority gimmick turned heel at the main event of Wrestlemania X7. Not only did he turn heel, he did so by joining Vince McMahon's side. The man who he had fought for the last 2 and a half years. This was a monumental turn and every single person in the arena was left spellbound.

Stone Cold won his 3rd Royal Rumble for the right to challenge The Rock for his WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. A surprise No Disqualification stipulation was added right before the match began. The match started hot with both men implementing signature moves on each other from the start. They even used each other's finishers to no effect. This continued till Vince McMahon came out to observe the match. The No DQ stipulation meant interfering in the match was legal for the Chairman. But instead, the Chairman threw a steel chair into the ring. Austin used said chair to hit the Rock 16 times and finally pinned him to win the match and the WWE Championship.
