Was it really all that though? The main event was solid but storyline wise that heel turn was shit. Austin was probably becoming too much of an overt babyface by 2000 but that direction? Hell nah, and my interest rapidly depleted thereafter. I stopped watching pretty much completely after his last match in '03 save for the 2009-2012 Undertaker saga with HBK & HHH. 96-98 Stone Cold is the Absolute GOAT wrestling character who almost single handedly ushered in the Attitude era through sheer force of personality and will. A legit anti-hero before it was a thing in any medium of entertainment, really.
Top 5 Matches of All-Time:
01. Stone Cold vs. Bret Hart ('97 Wrestlemania)
02. Undertaker vs. Mankind ('98 King of the Ring)
03. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels ('97 Bad Blood)
04. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels ('09 Wrestlemania)
05. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels ('10 Wrestlemania)
Wrestlemania 17 took place 20 years ago today.
