Stone Cold Becomes the WWF Champion at WrestleMania 14
On an episode of Monday Night Raw in Early 98' Austin interrupted Vince McMahon in his presentation of a special appearance by Mike Tyson over the objection of McMahon referring to Tyson as "the baddest man on the planet" Austin gave Tyson the double-bird (two middle fingers) which led to Tyson shoving Austin and the two needed to be separated, much to McMahon's embarrassment, who began to publicly disapprove of the prospect of Austin as his champion. Tyson would later be announced to be "the special enforcer" for the main event at WrestleMania XIV, although he also appeared to be aligning himself with WWF Champion Shawn Michaels' stable D-Generation X. This led to his WWF Championship match against Michaels at WrestleMania XIV where he won his first WWF Championship with help from Mike Tyson, who ended up double-crossing DX by making the deciding three-count against Michaels. This victory ushered in the Austin Era, and with it, the Attitude Era.

I call it the start of the Attitude Era and Stone Cold Steve Austin Era, the beginning of good Wrestling and Sports Entertainment! 10/10 from me. Stone Cold would turn out to be the biggest Superstar in the WWF after Hulk Hogan and that's big for him. The Rock - Austin - McMahon would entertain for the next 2 years making WWF so much interesting!
