The Austin thing definitely deserves to be mentioned, though. Maybe not for positive reasons (although I personally liked the turn). The Attitude era was suddenly on its head. The guy who started it all by getting doing whatever the fuck he wanted, and doing anything to become WWE Champion closed it all by doing the exact same thing. WrestleMania X-7 was a peak for the WWE it may never reach again. The closing moments where pretty much the Attitude era cannibalizing itself. It also had a great affect on outside viewers.

I wouldn't include the Horsemen, in all due respect, because no one outside wrestling gives a crap about them. Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin became icons with their contributions. The Horsemen are legends within the game, but that's about it. I also don't see how they should get credit for the nWo and D-Generation X. Were either of those stables really inspired by the Horsemen?
All groups wre inspired by the Horseman, they were the first non random guys together group, the first consistent unit. Up until then it was just randoms managed by the same guy. They changed the ways stables existed.
