I think about what him and Pillman could've done together in wwf if it wasn't for that wreck, and then... you know. RIP Loose Cannon. Austin and Pillman were on a self propelled trajectory to become the most over wrestlers ever. Steve did it man. Loved growing up during that era.
Nah.....because when I think "Bruce Willis", my immediate thought is the way he was in Die Hard. That's Bruce Willis to me. When you say "Stone Cold", it's all bald head and goatee in my mind.
Steve said he decided to shave his head because he was losing his hair and because of Bruce's look in Pulp Fiction. It gave him confidence that he could be bald and still pull off a tough guy image.
What really strikes me is how different Austin started to look once he adopted the Stone Cold persona. Almost as though Ringmaster and Stone Cold were played by two different people.
The major turning point for Steve Austin he was struggling and he became himself with that whole stone cold persona he ran wild it stunning wrestlers left right and centre I was so happy he got the WWF championship against the biggest diva HBK
@1- 20 - 7 LG His injuries and pill taking popped up over night? I was under the impression Shawn was not in good shape for a long time. Going with that, he could have given it back to Bret or not won it earlier. He was precious with the title. It could've easily bounced between them more, if Shawn was so selfish. Probably comes down to the era they both broke in on, where the man would have the title for very long stretches, and once you lose it you were unlikely to ever get it back.

It's really good. It's not about him, it's about everything that went down. He has his opinions that he goes into, but it's only bout 5%, unlike the usual 95% type.
Stone Cold Steve Austin, the man that pulled my attention back to wrestling when my interest was waning near the end of the New Generation Era. Caught it happening as it happened and ran with it til the end of Austin's run, which made it all the more special, seeing it as it unfolded. Hell yeah!! 🍻
I enjoyed the transition from Ring Master to Stone Cold. The Savio Vega feud was cool too. The Stunner on Vega during the tournament was sold very well.
I’m glad that Bischoff fired Austin from WCW because he did developed his Stone Cold character in ECW. I’m glad that Steve had an opportunity to express hisself in his stint with ECW.
This is pure gold bro. I’ve watched all his DVDs but they barely scratch the surface. This is in much detail. You should do more on different parts of his career. Great work
I got to see Steve Austin wrestle HBK at a house show in late August 1996. I just turned 11 and this was the first time I got to see WWF live. I do remember the whole crowd was very much behind HBK. I took pictures of the event and don’t remember seeing one Austin 3:16 sign or T-shirt but again, I was only 11 at the time.
'Mr. Pickle Nose Von Cream Puff'. i made that up in 2 seconds, but I think it's better than the ones they were paid to come up with. Call me. My rates are reasonable, and I'll give you as many names as you need. 'Reichart Icicle Scissor Shredder'. Another 2 seconds. I can churn them out, quickly.
I had a similar look to stone cold when I was a teenager during the attitude era , because of that I had extra good luck with the ladies, in a weird way stone cold was the best wingman I've ever had. Thanks Stone Cold 👍
Well, your net worth is about $500 Million now, so the ladies aren't a problem. With that said, Steve is only five years older, than you Dana, how could you have been a teenager during the Attitude Era?
In my eyes, Austin 3:16 is exactly the reason why WWE is a business today. WCW would have destroyed WWF without Austin. He is wildly entertaining and the badass of an entire generation.
I loved how he went from ring master to stone cold Steve Austin I loved his first feud in the wwf with savio Vega. Those two had some great matches with their beware of dog match being their best match. Also loved his mini feud with Wildman Marc Mero those two had some good matches as well.
Steve went on record to say that he liked working with Vega because he was a good worker. If you got in the ring with Savio it was gonna be easy. He sold the moves and was going to protect you from getting hurt.
I've tried watching the other wrestling channels , some parts of the videos are ok, but the pace of the video is too fast. I like the pace of Wrestling Bios.
He's also one of those guys who must never shave their facial hair off again! (Like Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Brian Blessed etc) The goatee is perfect for him and it also added some edge / steel to the Stone Cold character.
And now you watch WWE to see? Lol I mean they got Brock still and Edge just came back this year but he is hurt right now and tey still got Orton and then there is Roman and AJ. Styles and Braun Strowman and Tbe Fiend Bray Wyatt I still watch it sometimes but it is not big like it use to be

Seeing some weird similarities between Austin and Undertaker. Both are from Texas, both were underappreciated by Eric Bischoff and went to WWF shortly afterwards, both were featured on the Brother Love Show, and introduced by Ted Dibiase, both became multiple time champions and legends of wrestling.
Heyman also used to make Austin wait til the end to film his promos so hed be even more angry in them. Or at least thats what the rumor and innuendos say lol
@@SantaPorter420 I watched both as a kid,but was introduced to WCW 1st...wasn't much of a fan of the idea that both TNT and USA would be showing wrestling at the same time tho,my poor VHS tapes😓
It was interesting watching that In Your House Buried Alive match. When he came out with the new theme the crowd was basically silent, no one cared. It's so weird seeing this kind of reaction to hearing that theme since I was conditioned to hear the crowd cheer after that glass shattered; so when it didn't happen it was super weird.
As a 15-19 year old too c this guys rise and Wrestling in general was awesome. Seriously he saved the WWF and within 2 years other mega stars arrived. Late 96 as a youth n fan u cud sense a big change in the way Wrestling was going. WCW tbh pushed the wwf but both ripped ECW. Awesome days.
In an alternate universe, Stone Cold is known as Steve Fang McFrost Austin and has a undefeated Wrestlemadness (their Wrestlemania) streak to this day. He also drinks soda pop instead of beer, has long blonde hair and married Linda McMahon. “Huh?” (Not what?)
I was there at The Bob in Newark, DE. I remembered that Goldust just made his debut a few weeks ago at Survivor Series, Triple H (pre-DX) beat Henry O. Godwin in a Pig Pen match the night before and they had... The Raw Bowl, Razor Ramon V. Sid & Austin made his debut that night.
That's when I remember Stone Cold going over with the crowd was the feud with Bret Hart after mainia 13 in the submission match he was the heel going in and the baby face after
This is the first time I've seen it acknowledged that Stone Cold's blowup was kind of a slow-burn, and not an immediate overnight thing. As I remember it, 3:16 is when fans really started to take notice of him, but he still had a little ways to go to become The Guy.
I was very surprised when Austin won the king of the ring tournament. At this Time he was a newcomer in the WWF , i thought vader Would won the tournament. But when Austin won and After his promo i realised he was good and i became fan.
I remember being in youth group and they were talking about how "evil" wrestling was and they mentioned Austin 3:16 being a mocking of john 3:16 and people gasped at the realization 😂😂😂
I was off to college in 96 and wasn't watching much wrestling - I wouldn't get back into it for a few more years - but one of my last raws was the introduction of the stone cold character and I knew they had something
I just found your channel a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I’ve been dying for some quality wrestling content. Especially about its history.
The first ever WWF house show my dad took me too had Shawn Michaels vs Steve Austin as the main event, despite Sid being the champion at the time. Man I didn't know how good I had it at the time.

Pig Malion Then watch it again. It’s around the part where he talks about Steve’s feud with Jake Roberts and King of The Ring 1996
yea i can even remember at first he was heel.
Is that you Russo?
Without a doubt my favorite of all time
I got to see Steve Austin wrestle HBK at a house show in late August 1996. I just turned 11 and this was the first time I got to see WWF live. I do remember the whole crowd was very much behind HBK.

Cause there wasnt. Wwe will make you think the Austin 316 promo catapulted him immediately but it didnt
At that time stone cold was a heel and Shawn Michaels was wwf champion so of course the crowd was behind Shawn's back he was a face
Do you still watch WWE now ?
Don’t remember how old I was but Stone Cold & HBK was my first match I remember watching live!!

From age 7 to 15 I smashed every glass bottle i came across and the stone cold theme played in my head 😂💯
Austin the legend....the pops the man used to receive were unreal back in the day!
They were the best.
Remember when he drove the beer truck down to the ring? The place went freaking wild. The roof almost popped off.
Even when a gimmick sucks..." The Ringmaster" is actually a fitting name for him
In my eyes, Austin 3:16 is exactly the reason why WWE is a business today. WCW would have destroyed WWF without Austin. He is wildly entertaining and the badass of an entire generation.
He's literally the biggest star of all time, and along with the Rock and others, they put WCW into the ground. He got his revenge
If this channel gets any better my mind might actually implode with wrestling nostalgia.
Austin 3:16 was one of the things that helped Spark the Attitude Era
