Attitude Era·WWF·1997–1999

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Mr. McMahon (Sep 1997 – Jul 1999)

A boss-versus-employee rivalry born out of Steve Austin's real neck injury and Vince McMahon's new on-screen villainy, escalating from a single Stone Cold Stunner into a year and a half of Corporation ambushes, rigged tournaments, and stipulation matches that defined the Attitude Era and turned around the WWF's fortunes against WCW.

Attitude Era·WWF/WWE·1997–2003

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock (Dec 1997 – Mar 2003)

Austin beat him in five minutes over the Intercontinental title in 1997 and threw the belt in a river the next night. Six years later, on a night Austin had spent in a Seattle hospital, The Rock finally beat him at WrestleMania, and neither of them wrestled a full schedule again.

Attitude Era·WWF·1998–1999

The Rock vs. Mankind (Nov 1998 – Feb 1999)

Vince McMahon rang the bell on Mankind at Survivor Series to hand The Rock the WWF Championship, and the two of them spent the next three months trading it in a No DQ match on Raw, an empty arena during the Super Bowl, a ladder match and an I Quit match in Anaheim where Foley took eleven unprotected chair shots with his hands cuffed behind his back while his wife and children watched from the front row.
