I'm not sure if there was any ONE segment that revolutionized the Attitude Era, but here are two that stick out in my mind...........
1) Foley winning the title.....Austin's face pop: I still amazes me how LOUD Austin's face pop was when the glass shattered that night. IMO - That right there may have been the most ENTHUSIASTIC face pop of all-time. Good god Austin was so over.
2) Wrestlemania 17 - Austin vs. Rock. IMO - the very last day of what we be known as "the attitude era." The PPV up to the point had been nothing short of spectacular, but the face pop Austin received that night was beyond amazing. The Texan crowd as awesome. I don't think even management expected the fans to be so one-sided towards Austin. Every time The Rock laid a finger on Austin, 68,000+ fans booed the living shit out of him!
My post doesn't really have much to do with the thread, but I just wanted to mention it.
