No wrestler has ever been more popular at his peak than Steve Austin. He helped usher in the "Attitude Era," which brought the WWE the best ratings in the company's history. Austin's emergence and feuds with Mr. McMahon and The Rock were the driving force behind the WWE surpassing WCW in the Monday Night Wars. He connected with the fans like no wrestler in history, and was a great in-ring performer, earning the moniker "The Ringmaster" because of his technical skills. Vince McMahon has called Stone Cold the greatest WWE superstar of all time. If his career hadn't been derailed by injuries, he might be No.1.
