The ones listed above, plus all the matches with Rock.
He had some great matches with Benoit in mid 2001 on RAW and SD as well.

Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle from SummerSlam 2001 was their best match IMO. Austin vs. Bret Hart, any of their matches, hell, even a street fight on Raw where Bret legit has a bad knee was still a better match than a lot of the matches you see today. I liked Austin vs. HBK at KOTR 97 as well. Austin vs. Owen Hart at SummerSlam 97 was great, except for the ending. Austin vs. Triple H at No Way Out 2001 was an absolute classic! Really should have been the main event at Wrestlemania X7 that year.
Couldn't agree more. Was Austin's feud with HHH amazing? Absolutely. Did they put on some great matches? Without a doubt. Should their feud have headlined WM that year instead of Austin-Rock? No chance in hell. Austin-Rock is one of, if not the greatest feud of all time and it had an electricity to it that HHH, in my opinion, has never been able to produce; certainly it had more electricity than Austin-HHH. Their feud was great but Rock-Austin would always have been the bigger match for the Grandest Stage of them All. That's why Austin faced Rocky at WM 3 times without it ever getting stale and didn't face HHH there once.

Sorry, just my opinion.

yeah all his greats have been covered here I think.
now onto a lesser known fave of mine......I will always enjoy his losing effort @ Breakdown:IYH.the energy that Austin brought to this match was unreal.from the moment he attacked UT from behind at the start it was full speed ahead with no stops....GREAT stuff.

Wish there was more stone cold vs Kane! Taker vs stone cold summerslam 98. Classic fued. Even the buried alive match. Stone cold vs dude love! I wish there was a fued with cactus Jack tough, for some reason I think that would've been a defining match

I wish there was a fued with cactus Jack tough, for some reason I think that would've been a defining match From what I remember, Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker at SummerSlam '95 wasn't that good. Much like most of their encounters. I may seem part of the minority but Austin and 'Taker didn't have chemistry in the ring. Of all their matches, the only one I enjoyed was their End of an Era First Blood match at Fully Loaded '99.

I didn't like the Stone Cold vs. Undertaker highway to hell match at Summerslam 1998 at ALL.
It didn't help that Austin was knocked out halfway through either...

Steve Austin noted this match on "Hell Yeah: Stone Cold's Saga Continues" home video. Even for him, he didn't think this match was any good. Agree or disagree, but Austin & Undertaker were two men who didn't gel well in the ring together.

Austin was knocked out about 5 minutes in here but yeah they didn't mesh well at all.I doubt Vince cared though when he seen the buyrate.....LOL.
however.....the match at Breakdown with Kane & UT vs Austin was great.but the dynamic was different.I also enjoyed their buried alive/first blood matches but again they werent straight matches

^ I disagree about Austin/Undertaker not gelling, although it seemed that, for some reason, it didn't usually make a great match between the two. Their match with Flair as the ref (forget the event, but it was Big Evil version of the Undertaker) was really good, I thought.
Last night I watched the Austin vs Dude Love match at Unforgiven. I think it was the month before the Over the Edge one that was mentioned earlier in this thread. To me, it almost seemed like this match was better, just because there was less going on than OTE where we had Patterson, Briscoe, and Undertaker at ringside. Both were good matches though. Austin and Foley beat the hell out of one another quite a bit over the years.

Well dang looks like I need to YouTube the match since I don't have it on DVD/blueray.. (that explains why). I just like their fued, it was interesting to me from what I remember back in 98' Even stone colds sacrifice was pretty cool.
