One of the biggest stories of 1995 was the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin had been a mid-card wrestler for years, but he finally broke out in 1995 with his "Stone Cold" gimmick. Austin's rebellious attitude and no-nonsense style resonated with fans, and he quickly became one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWF.

Another major event in 1995 was the Montreal Screwjob. At the Survivor Series pay-per-view, WWF Champion Bret Hart was supposed to lose his title to Shawn Michaels. However, WWF owner Vince McMahon changed the finish of the match at the last minute, and Michaels won the title instead. The Screwjob was a controversial moment that led to Hart leaving the WWF.

Hulk Hogan also left the WWF in 1995. Hogan had been the face of the company for years, but he was unhappy with the direction that the WWF was going. Hogan left the WWF and joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW),where he feuded with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.

Despite the loss of Hogan and Hart, the WWF still had a strong roster in 1995. The Undertaker was one of the most popular wrestlers in the company, and he had a memorable feud with Diesel. Shawn Michaels was also a top star, and he had a great match with Razor Ramon at WrestleMania XI.

1995 was a year of change for the WWF. The company lost some of its biggest stars, but it also gained some new ones. The rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin helped to usher in a new era for the WWF, and the company would continue to thrive in the years to come.
