ok so I decided to make a list of top 10 pops that the GOAT has Got.

1.In my Opinion the Biggest pop in pro Wrestling history crowd went nuts.

2.Austin comes out to help Rock still get goosebumps Seeing Austin Hitting everybody With a Chair.

3.Austin driving zamboni is the 3rd biggest pop In my opinion.JR screaming Stone cold!Stone cold! made it epic.later on the joe loius officials said the building was literally shaking from the crowd noise.

4.Austin returns in 2003 no way out against bischoff.Montreal gave austin a god like Ovation.Only Austin can walk out and then get an ovation like this.

5.Austin returns 2000 and controfts the Rock on Smackdown And out pops him by a mile.

6.Austin named referee for wrestlemania 23 on raw.In my opinion the biggest pop of pg era.

7.Austin returns from injury at unforgiven 2000 and is number 7 on my biggest pop list.

8.Austin/vince corporate segment.The crowd just went apeshit when he came out.

9.Austin wrestlemania 17 appears in texas and gets an awesome ovation.

10.Austin Alliance angle

Honourable mentions
Austin/taker/bossman 1998 raw

Austin/kane/undertaker segment raw 98.

Most of his biggest pops are from episodes of raw in 98,99 but WWE has taken down many of those from you tube so Couldnt put up many of those amazing 98/99 raw pops.Anyhow would you agree with my top 10?
 
1.In my Opinion the Biggest pop in pro Wrestling history crowd went nuts.
One of the greatest pops I have ever heard in wrestling. The crowd always went apeshit whenever they heard the glass shatter but this pop is insane. You could barely even hear his entrance theme.

Another great Stone Cold pop was when he gave both Lesnar and Goldberg the Stone Cold Stunner at WrestleMania 20. A nice pop for the Texas Rattlesnake.
 
Austin could ignite the audience like no other, I have no idea what it was, he was a rebellious, tough, ass talking, son of a bitch that related to the audience of that day and time.

Now everything is pretty much PC and family friendly and they have a top face who can barely get a positive reaction. Probably the only top face to get hardly any reaction at all.
 
You could do a top 100 of the GOATS top pops. The one on Raw though when Mankind won the belt for the first time was easily the greatest pop in wrestling history and it's on fucking Raw. Thank you Monday Night Wars.

It's crazy how quick his star rose. Early 1997 his pops were a bit like the likes of Kofi Kingston gets now which isn't loud but you still hear the crowd, by mid 1997 it's gone up to Daniel Bryan level and then you go to the end of 1997 and you have CM Punk at MITB level shit. It's crazy.
 
It's so hard to judge. Different arenas, different quality of sound etc.

For example, I bet the pops at Wrestlemania 29 were louder than what we heard on Raw the following night but the pop for Ziggler seemed louder than most at Wrestlemania 29 when really it was just the arena they were in.
 
The top 3 pops on this list are my picks for the top 3 greatest pops in wrestling history (coincidentally, in that very same order-Raw Jan 4, 1999, Backlash 2000 and the Zamboni Segment).

Nice picks OP, I completely agree. Might move Austin saving Team WWF up a few slots from #10 though. However, Austin is absolutely the undisputed king of pops.
 
I can't find it anywhere, but January 11th 1999 (the week after Mankind wins the gold) has Austin coming out twice and the SECOND pop is actually the biggest and I personally think it rivals the ones listed in the OP's post. For some reason, that second time he comes out the crowd just loses its shit.

Rock is the GOAT for me, but you can't deny that Austin was the king of pops.
 

Go to 1 hr 36 into the video. I reckon that definitely rivals or almost matches the January 4th pop.
 
awesome!

i remember i jumped off my couch when i heard the glass shatter in the rock vs. mankind match.

unbelievable how amazing it was back then!
