But the one I'd have to go with is The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania X-7. It was my first WrestleMania as a fan, and I remember Austin aligning with Vince McMahon, and just being so shocked. I remember ym dad was away on business at the time, and I actually called him to tell him what had happened, because he had a casual interest in the storylines and such.
I also knew a lot of people who stopped watching after this, because Stone Cold stopped being "cool." This was a huge risk the WWE took, and I think it blew up in their face because they didn't really push a top face against Austin. Triple H, The Undertaker, Kane, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho were all there, but for some reason it just didn't work out. Booker T would have even been an interesting choice. Or DDP. Vince's pride got in the way of that, though.
