Big Van Vader 1993 - The Starrcade match against Flair, the matches with Sting & Steamboat, Cactus Jack @ Halloween Havoc oh and one of the most underappreciated and unseen hidden gem tag matches not of that year but ever Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs. Big Van Vader & Steve Austin (11/13/93)
Triple H 2000 - He was hitting it out of the park on PPV matches, i don't think i even need to list them because i'm sure most of you know them. Fuck it I'll do it anyway. Foley @ RRumble and No Way Out, the mania match was a bit of a letdown but not awful. Backlash and Judgement Day with Rocky both classics. I don't even want to talk about the King Of The Ring match, Fully Loaded with Jericho was a classic and still imo the best LMS match. SummerSlam could have been better if not for the Kurt concussion. Unforgiven was a mess i don't want to talk about it, No Mercy with Benoit was great if you haven't seen it go watch. SSeries with Austin was weird Austin was fully back and to being Austin yet but if you like violent brawls then you would somewhat like this and then he finishes the year with the 6 man HIAC. But it's not just about the PPV matches his weekly 20 minute promos were great and he got so much heat with them, plus every once in a while we could get fun TV matches. The 8 man in Febuary the series or whenever he hooked up with Jericho, i remember a SD match he had early in the year with Rikishi and Taka for the World Title. Just an amazing year.
Stone Cold Steve Austin 2001 - The Year Austin took his game to a new level imo he was always over as fuck but, and i know he didn't like the heel turn but i loved ever second of if. Just the sadistic violent badass son of a bitch rattlesnake for the first 6 months then all of a sudden we see this softer comedic side of him it was a complete 360. As for the matches, the 2001 Rumble one of the best ever, the 2/3 with Hunter the epic match with Rocky @Mania. The Kane/Taker vs. Power Trip was a great build even if you didn't like the matches cause we got to see Austin kill the Hardyz with chairs, he had imo the greatest SD match with Benoit in Edmonton, Canada. He had 2 or 3 matches with Benoit and Jericho that i thought were great. Then he moves on to the greatest carry job in wresting with Kurt Angle at SummerSlam, i love that match. Even the 2 other rematches that followed was great before the end match of WCW/ECW vs. WWF then he kinda went downhill for December but it was the beginning of the end for Austin so it doesn't matter.
