<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

<h2>"Stone Cold" Steve Austin 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.si.com/.image/t_share/MTY4MDI4Njc2MTMzNDMwNTQ1/stone-cold-steve-austin-beer-diet-explanationjpg.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is a name that reverberates through the stands of a WWE show like wildfire. Whenever that broken glass cracks through the speakers, a pop is heard like never before.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Rattlesnake’ is a Superstar of the people and is by far the most popular Superstar to have ever stepped foot in the WWE ring. In a career that lasted nearly 7 years, he was able to make himself larger than life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/rd-talent/Bio/Steve_Austin_bio.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and WCW</h3>
Stone Cold began his career in NWA and quickly made his talent into a recognized feature. He was soon recruited to WCW where he performed for a good 5 years.

There, he got into the roots of what would be his gimmick for the rest of his career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.redd.it/9tdddhslsvg31.jpg" alt="" width="1138" height="1296" data-noaft="1" />

Noticing the grass was greener for him in WWE, Austin decided to make the switch, a decision that would change the course of wrestling history.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE / WWF</h3>
At WWE, then WWF, Stone Cold earned the faith of Vince McMahon and his creative team. They saw the potential in him to be the big star they needed after the departure of prominent Wrestling greats such as Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/e8/2e/75e82ecc08d01ce2d210d0792c8d2f69.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" data-noaft="1" />

Austin rose to fame during his feud with Jake “The Snake” Roberts. During the King of the Ring tournament, ‘The Rattlesnake’ took advantage of Roberts’ Biblical persona to cite “Austin 3:16” in place of John 3:16.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

This became a huge part of his persona as Stone Cold rose to the top of the business. As the Attitude Era settled in, Austin became the poster boy of the era and was in his element.

&nbsp;

The era was perfect for his rebellious character and for an audience that always loved to see someone sticking it to the boss.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Attitude Era and feud with Vince McMahon</h3>
Stone Cold skyrocketed to the stars when he actively fought WWE CEO and Chairman Vince Mcmahon in various feuds, taking down the boss on multiple occasions.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb aligncenter" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2012/01/02_SCSA_McMahon.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="316" data-noaft="1" />

This was the first time McMahon himself got involved in feuds, and the crowd absolutely loved the merciless Stone Cold who cared the least for the hierarchy.

Apart from various World Championship reigns, Stone Cold was known for the most bizarre entrances in WWE. ‘The Rattlesnake’ was seen riding a quad bike, a fire truck filled with beer, as well as a cement truck, all used for the express purpose of attacking Vince Mcmahon.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/829/299/80691c9146b59db0c557278da610fd64_crop_exact.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=1200&amp;q=75" alt="" width="1078" height="718" data-noaft="1" />

At one point, Austin even filled the Chairman’s beautiful Corvette with wet cement, an event which soon went down as one of the most iconic moments of WWE history. Steve Austin would not leave McMahon and even ambushed him in a hospital!

The former WCW Superstar was a key figure who almost single handily turned the tide of viewership back in the favor of WWE in the Monday Night Wars with WCW, an effort which has been assumed as a lost cause for WWE.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2019/11/11/a2396ded-ed12-4c5f-bb42-a43db1003c55/thumbnail/1200x675/6edf6db61d476c8c8af811eeaf3bf63b/taker-austin.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Rivalry with The Rock</h3>
The rise of The Rock and “Mankind” Mick Foley boosted the Attitude Era to its peak. Steve Austin then met the greatest rival he would ever face, which was The Rock.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ODz6E47uaDc/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Never before had there been a feud so high profile, and so tightly contested. Fans felt like they were seeing Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant again, but this was much bigger.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Brahma Bull’ and ‘The Rattlesnake’ battled it out for 4 straight years in a clash of the most popular Superstars in WWE at the time. This was arguably the point where WWE reached its peak.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<h3>Retirement and appearances for WWE</h3>
Stone Cold was a great wrestler, but all good things must come to an end. An injury suffered in 1997 aggravated as he wrestled more matches and became a serious drawback for him after 2000.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Stone Cold didn’t fully leave WWE and still constantly appears on the shows as a guest referee or to simply Stun everyone and leave. His signature beer smash never gets old and he remains one of the most popular stars in WWE today.

Stone Cold offers everyone a beer, but only a few escape the ring without getting Stunned shortly after. WWE Superstars never seem to get the gist of that. It was Austin 3:16 then, and the beer keeps on coming for Stone Cold.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

&#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin is a name that reverberates through the stands of a WWE show like wildfire. Whenever that broken glass cracks through the speakers, a pop is heard like never before.  ‘The Rattlesnake’ is a Superstar of the people and is by far the most popular Superstar to have ever stepped foot in the WWE ring. In a career that lasted nearly 7 years, he was able to make himself larger than life.  History Early Career and WCW Stone Cold began his career in NWA and quickly made his talent into a recognized feature. He was soon recruited to WCW where he performed for a good 5 years. There, he got into the roots of what would be his gimmick for the rest of his career.  Noticing the grass was greener for him in WWE, Austin decided to make the switch, a decision that would change the course of wrestling history.  WWE / WWF At WWE, then WWF, Stone Cold earned the faith of Vince McMahon and his creative team. They saw the potential in him to be the big star they needed after the departure of prominent Wrestling greats such as Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage. Austin rose to fame during his feud with Jake “The Snake” Roberts. During the King of the Ring tournament, ‘The Rattlesnake’ took advantage of Roberts’ Biblical persona to cite “Austin 3:16” in place of John 3:16.  This became a huge part of his persona as Stone Cold rose to the top of the business. As the Attitude Era settled in, Austin became the poster boy of the era and was in his element. &nbsp; The era was perfect for his rebellious character and for an audience that always loved to see someone sticking it to the boss.  Attitude Era and feud with Vince McMahon Stone Cold skyrocketed to the stars when he actively fought WWE CEO and Chairman Vince Mcmahon in various feuds, taking down the boss on multiple occasions.  This was the first time McMahon himself got involved in feuds, and the crowd absolutely loved the merciless Stone Cold who cared the least for the hierarchy. Apart from various World Championship reigns, Stone Cold was known for the most bizarre entrances in WWE. ‘The Rattlesnake’ was seen riding a quad bike, a fire truck filled with beer, as well as a cement truck, all used for the express purpose of attacking Vince Mcmahon.  At one point, Austin even filled the Chairman’s beautiful Corvette with wet cement, an event which soon went down as one of the most iconic moments of WWE history. Steve Austin would not leave McMahon and even ambushed him in a hospital! The former WCW Superstar was a key figure who almost single handily turned the tide of viewership back in the favor of WWE in the Monday Night Wars with WCW, an effort which has been assumed as a lost cause for WWE. Rivalry with The Rock The rise of The Rock and “Mankind” Mick Foley boosted the Attitude Era to its peak. Steve Austin then met the greatest rival he would ever face, which was The Rock.  Never before had there been a feud so high profile, and so tightly contested. Fans felt like they were seeing Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant again, but this was much bigger.  ‘The Brahma Bull’ and ‘The Rattlesnake’ battled it out for 4 straight years in a clash of the most popular Superstars in WWE at the time. This was arguably the point where WWE reached its peak.  Stone Cold had a set of memorable feuds with Triple H in the meantime and even led the WWE roster against the invading WCW Superstars during the Invasion storyline, which established him as the one-man show of WWE.  Retirement and appearances for WWE Stone Cold was a great wrestler, but all good things must come to an end. An injury suffered in 1997 aggravated as he wrestled more matches and became a serious drawback for him after 2000.  The era of Austin was over as the Attitude times changed, and the big man retired after a final WrestleMania match with The Rock- a fitting end to a glorious career.  Stone Cold didn’t fully leave WWE and still constantly appears on the shows as a guest referee or to simply Stun everyone and leave. His signature beer smash never gets old and he remains one of the most popular stars in WWE today. Stone Cold offers everyone a beer, but only a few escape the ring without getting Stunned shortly after. WWE Superstars never seem to get the gist of that. It was Austin 3:16 then, and the beer keeps on coming for Stone Cold.  &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin 2021 Net Worth  As of 2021, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin has a net worth of $30 million according to Celebrity Net worth. This figure is bound to rise following the start of his podcast and other endorsements.  &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin 2021 Achievements  In his illustrious career, Stone Cold has won the WWF Championship 6 times, the WWF Intercontinental Championship 2 times, the WWF Tag Team Championship 4 times, and the Million Dollar Championship 1 time.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Kevin Owens 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Yanick Steen, better known to the WWE Universe as Kevin Owens, is a professional wrestler from Quebec, Canada, currently signed to the Raw brand of the WWE. Owens is widely regarded as one of the best talents of the modern era with his fan following almost assuming a cult status.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Coming from a humble background, Owens had to cut his teeth on the independent circuit before even dreaming of the bright lights of WWE. However, such was his dedication, that despite not knowing a word of English as a child due to his native language being French, he watched episodes of Raw to learn the language. Contrast that with today when he is considered one of the best talkers in all of sports entertainment.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Kevin began his career with the ring name Kevin Steen which gave him widespread popularity in the independent circuit. Along with his best friend Sami Zayn, he dominated the rosters of Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerilla. He began his career in the year 2000 at the young age of 16.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">After years of dedication and hard work, WWE came calling. He was signed to the developmental brand of NXT in 2014. Owens is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern NXT that converted the once redundant brand into a global force to reckon with.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">His run in NXT reached its zenith after he betrayed his long time friend Sami Zayn in pursuit of the NXT Championship. Owens became the Champion after an iconic rivalry with his fellow Canadian that kickstarted a heel run that took Owens to the stratosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">In fact, his main roster debut came even while he was still the NXT Champion. He answered the US Open challenge of the legendary John Cena and went on to defeat him for the United States Championship, something that shocked everyone and instantly made Owens a bonafide star.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Owens would lose his NXT Championship after a great feud with Fin Balor, completely transitioning to the main roster.

<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Owens had a career-defining rivalry with authority figure Shane McMahon.
