Nice comment from the gentleman who said to Steve Austin early in the video, "(You are 1 of the best workers in the world man)". That was a nice gesture, and not only that, that would have been happy for Steve to hear especially since he was fairly new to the company at this point in time, and he was a "heel" a bad guy, so yeah. If you didn't watch WCW between late 1990 through to the middle of 1995, or ECW for those few months in late 1995, alot of people probably wouldn't have even known who Steve Austin was at that time. So to be recognised by a fan as a great worker back in March 1996 from a WWF fan, I'm sure Steve would have greatly appreciated it. Take note aswell especially as the internet was in its early stages back then, in March 1996. Lastly Great Footage, and a big thankyou for this rare gem. Cheers from Tom. Thankyou and Peace.

Almost everything was hotter in the 90s. Pro wrestling, music, video games, cartoons, trading cards, comic books. The more you look back on it & compare that entertainment to this decade and the 2000s, the better it seems to be. Internet wasn't really that big though until the late 90s, and social media was limited to e-mails & basic chat rooms. Movies also sucked a lot in the 90s. Maybe movies and internet are the only things better in the today's era, honestly. I guess video games to a certain extent, but definitely not for certain genres like fighting games and platformers. Many of them still play like 90s games but with better graphics in high definition.

Damn this is Stone Cold in the BEGINNING!! Even before the Austin 3:16 speech.... Who would of known.

He probably still would've got over even without the catchphrase back then if things went differently. Steve was to good not to

[@nidal1475]

the story is simple & steve austin explained it so many times. the stone cold gimmick was born in february 1996 when steve austin was watching a documentary about the ice man & then he gives them the idea & then they gave him nonsensical names like chilly mcfreeze, ice dagger, fang mcfrost & otto von ruthless. jeanie clark made him a hot tea & told him to drink his tea before it gets stone cold & that's how the stone cold gimmick was born
