5 Best Revenge Storylines In WWE History
Payback is a you-know-what...
1. Austin Climbs The Corporate Ladder (1998-99)
So many pale imitators to this long-winding angle have followed, and few come close to matching up. Vince McMahon's constant stacking of the deck against Stone Cold resulted in Austin being screwed out of the WWF title a few times in the autumn of 1998.
To get back to the title scene (where The Rock waited), Austin had to win a Buried Alive match with The Undertaker, and a steel cage match with Vince himself (after also being screwed in the Rumble) to get to WrestleMania 15. Through all the obstacles, Austin ultimately prevailed.
