#3 Stone Cold Steve Austin
WWE garnered the highest rating between 1993 to 1998. During this era, two events namely the WCW and WWE were the most popular ones. In this revolutionary period, Stone Cold Steve Austin or ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ played a significant role.
Austin is still regarded as the biggest draw in wrestling history mainly because he was unlike any wrestler, the world had ever seen. What made him special was his anti-hero attitude towards the wrestling business. His bad boy image became so popular that people started to live vicariously through him.
His contributions behind the popularity of this sport were also recognised by other wrestlers of his time. Chris Jericho even claimed Steve Austin to be the force behind the resurgence of WWE. And, his statement was absolutely correct as the ‘Texas Rattlesnake’ was truly a superstar in the ring.
