It's 10 years since the Austin Era [Officially] had it's start, and 5 years since it ended.
He defeated HBK at WrestleMania 14 to begine his first run as work champ. Austin-Mania started about 18 months before, but that was it's official beginning. He had his last match at WrestleMania 19 against The Rock. You would assume it'll be his last ever match. Austin doesn't need to take the risk by having another match. Looking back it's weird to think he was only on top for 5 years. And in those 5 years he had about 2 years or so off. It make you appreciate the longevity of Hogan & Flair more.
Anyway each week until WrestleMania 24 there will be a new Austin topic in this thread. To celebrate the beginning and end of Austin the main eventer. Each Tuesday there will be a new topic. This week it's best match. Followed nect week by worse match (he's had some stinkers), then best title reign, best angle, greates feud and finally his defining moment, and your over all opinion.
So on to this weeks topic:
A lot of people will go for Austin vs. Rock 2. Good choice. But it's the easy one. I myself am going for Austin vs. Dude Love with special Ref Vince McMahon @ Over The Edge 1998. Great match. Each wrestler played their role perfectly. Without the Austin/Love fued it's doubtful that the McMahon/Austin feud would have been as good as it was.
