It’s odd that Austin believed initially that historic title win in 1998 ‘sucked’ when it was a true ‘Mania Moment’ in the eyes of most fans, but his technical critique of the performance is spot on. Mike Tyson did have a super fast count, but the energy and spectacle he brought to the WrestleMania main event was undeniable.
