Wrestlemania Rewind: The Rock vs Steve Austin at Wrestlemania XIX

The grandest of them all, WrestleMania is just about a month away. The anticipation for the extravaganza is sky high among the WWE Universe. And since the pay-per-view is richer than Richie rich when it comes to history, we have decided to take a look back at some of the best WrestleMania matches with this latest series.The rivalry between Rock and Stone Cold has always been some of the most iconic and legendary that it had three matches at Wrestlemania.  Two men who were truly larger than life stars came into the company at the same time and absolutely took the company under their arms and ran with it . Never before or since have there been two men this big at the same time. No one will ever match what these two men brought to the tableAs the Wrestlemania Rewind series is rolling on, I am looking back at the final showdown of the epic trilogy between two of the greatest superstars of their generation.

#1 The Build

"'The Great One" had disappeared after dropping the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar at Summerslam 2002 in order to film a movie, while "'The Rattlesnake" had left the company the same month after a disagreement with Vince McMahon. 

The Buildup to this match was pretty simple,  On an episode of Raw, "The People's Champion" cut a promo saying he had accomplished everything in the WWE except for beating Austin at Wrestlemania, setting up the rubber match. The challenge was officially accepted the following week. On the March 10th edition of Monday Night RAW, GM Eric Bischoff gave The Rock the option to choose his opponent and Rock chose comedy mid- carder Hurricane as his opponent expecting an easy victory. This backfired as Austin helped The Hurricane win in a massive upset. On the final RAW before WrestleMania, Austin was banned by Eric Bischoff from the arena but managed to sneak in and get in a pull-apart brawl with The Rock. Who will prove themselves as the premiere star of the Attiude era and win the final match?
