#1.) ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin – WrestleMania 14
Steve Austin in 1998 was just waiting to break out. 1996 and 1997 saw him rise in tremendous fashion, growing in popularity as WWE began to clearly move away from PG-TV programming. He represented everything about the Attitude Era. He was badass, he was rebellious, fearless, and an ass-kicker in every sense of the word.
He would become the biggest box-office draw in WWE at the time, ushering in the Attitude Era, one that’s still considered by many as the greatest period in WWE history.
