The Most Shocking Moments in Wrestling History

Stone Cold Steve Austin Turns Heel joining Vince McMahon

The greatest feud in WWF history was Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Mr. McMahon. It gave birth to the Attitude Era and maybe even saved the WWF from going bankrupt in 1997. It began the greatest run in sports entertainment history. For nearly 3 straight years these two went at with a passion that became must see television.

Meanwhile, The Rock was also blazing his path to the top of the WWE and when Austin left for nearly a year with neck injury, the Rock firmly stepped into the role as top dog.

When the time came for the two to decide it in the ring, no one, and I mean no one saw it coming. The evil McMahon helping the cult hero Austin was simply unthinkable.

Making this match even more worthy of the greatness bestowed upon it was the fact that even before the McMahon appearance in the match, it was still excellent!

A blood bath with plenty of narrow kickouts and close submissions. It could have ended at anytime and still been worth watching every second. In shocking fashion it was McMahon helping Austin deliver a chair beatdown to The Rock to win the title.

Much like every other one on this list, nobody saw this coming.  It will forever be the most memorable ending in WrestleMania history, and the most shocking!
