WWE Legend Steve Austin on the Origins of

[@brandonsoto7225]

One of the all-time greats. Sucks he retired so early.

[@marthastubbs8321]

Crazy to think Austin was about ten Years younger when he retired than Edge is now

[@josephlawrence9584]

Forced retirement but he was also having troubles with Vince booking to

[@BC-ny3zb]

Well the guy that ruined his career is dead, so I guess all things are equal

[@CarlosHamilton-p8k]

I’m glad some of these guys can retire early now because the interviews and stories they tell are just as legendary as their careers

[@JThom-yh3ef]

What?

[@davidausbun]

Remember that Austin never would've had that promo or won KOTR if the Curtain Call never happened and Triple H won instead like he was supposed to. But since the Curtain Call happened and because Nash and Hall were out the door and Shawn was basically bulletproof, Triple H got punished, the KOTR win went to Austin and he cut that promo that led to him becoming one of, if not, the biggest stars in wrestling history.

[@blacknight7643]

Well, if u say it like that lot of things could have happened.

[@LA-kn3sj]

@@blacknight7643 that’s actually what’s happen and documented in your a fan

[@brokenbutterfly3178]

Why did hhh get punished?

[@davidausbun]

@@brokenbutterfly3178 Because of the Curtain Call when the Kliq broke character at a house show and he was pretty much the only when that could be punished because Hall and Nash were out the door leaving for WCW and Shawn was pretty much bulletproof as their biggest star so Triple H was pulled from winning KOTR.

[@dudeda96er]

3hrs and 16mins that’s like a whole ppv 😂😂😂

[@stingrey1571]

As iconic as Austin 316, that would NEVER happen today. Vince would lose his mind if a wrestler ad libbed without his consent.

[@davidausbun]

Not entirely true. Yes 99% of promos are scripted down to feel unauthentic, but every once in a while, for certain people, there will be a promo that just hits. One example of one of my favorite promos of all time was John Cena ripping into Roman Reigns during their No Mercy contract signing. Also, even though it was over 10 years ago at this point, don't forget about the pipebomb where Vince allowed Punk to just speak his mind and say what he wanted (up until he brought up the bullying campaign).

Stone Cold Steve Austin is a legend. Not only is he one of the 🐐’s if not the 🐐, but he’s also super well versed on the industry and communicates how it works to the common folk well. His videos explaining his career and the industry are awesome to watch.

[@Giveme1goodreason]

The Austin 3:16 tshirt and the nwo shirts made everyone involved millions, and are completely unrivalled in merch sales. The lesson is people want something that clearly shows who they are but doesn’t insist upon itself. Simple name and everyone knew but you could wear it anywhere.

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

It revived wwe as the place for wrestling entertainment. He put the substance in the promo like flair did in the 80s! The shock of mankind and the theatrical from undertaker, wwe needed Austin. 92 and the lost of hogan, warrior, the misuse of diesel and flair the product was bad. He saved the entire world and help bring in rock and even Kurt angle! Great time to be a fan!

Austin 3:16 was my only wwf shirt back in the 90's.

[@shanepleasants6280]

HHH was supposed to win the King of the Ring but he was punished because of the MSG curtain call incident. Thank god for that because it birthed the biggest WWE star in history of wrestling check the numbers they were doing 6 million plus views every Monday night an was legit going head to head with MNF at the time

[@dontworry4831]

Beating MNF in terms of next day homeroom and hallway chatter lol. I don't know why that matters so much but it does when you think about it. I mean, I was in high school during the attitude era and you could legit say that you missed the end of the game because of raw😂 it was def necessary cause they kept going long passed 11p sometimes and those were always the BEST matches

[@vanthadoun1]

I love Stone Cold, and no matter what people say, I will always hold Owen Hart responsible for breaking his neck and sidelining him for the highlight of his years. Yes Owen is dead, but he really did a number on Steve's neck and could have paralyzed him with that move. I know that Steve said that he forgave Owen and that just shows how graceful he is as a person.

[@captainnutsack8151]

You are absolutely correct. Owen gets a pass because he died. But that reverse pile driver was pure negligence. And he never truly made amends with Austin. He never rightfully apologized. Apparently he gave him a 30 second phone call, weeks later. It was half assed. Owen broke his neck with pure negligence, and totally derailed his career. Austin was totally different as a wrestler after that injury. Compare his 1998 matches with his famous match with Bret Hart. Austin was a gifted worker, very technically sound. He was reduced to being a monotonous brawler after the injury.

[@bigtruckdriva901]

He was ralatable to so many guys is why he was successful...

Triple H was originally supposed to win the 1996 King of the Ring but the Curtin call happened where Triple H and the other members of the Kliq broke Kayfabe and he got punished by Vince McMahon. Thanks to the Curtin Call Steve Austin was able to win the King of the Ring 1996.
