Stone Cold Steve Austin Career Retrospective
The closing moments of WrestleMania 38 left over 70,000 fans in awe as they witnessed the distinctive technique of a true legend. The emphatic chant of "You still got it!" echoed throughout the arena, a testament to the enduring popularity of one man—Steve Austin.

Steve Austin Iceberg.

Austin's swan song at WrestleMania 38 was a masterclass in performance. He seemed to transcend time, growing more comfortable with every move, every strike. His nostalgic presentation showcased a style far removed from modern wrestling. While he emerged victorious against a younger superstar, it was clear that his victory was essential for the fans in Dallas. Denying their hero one final win would have incited a riot. But it wasn't just about the outcome. Austin's style, still as believable as ever, delivered thunderous attacks with unwavering intensity. He went above and beyond, risking his own body to create a shining moment for his opponent, Kevin Owens, enduring a vicious suplex outside the ring..

When it comes to foreseeing superstardom, many wrestling fans had a sense that Steve Austin possessed something special. What makes his run at the top fascinating is that their predictions were completely off the mark. While many envisioned him following in the footsteps of Ric Flair (including Austin himself), little did they know that he would evolve into the next Hulk Hogan—an iconic figure who transcended the sport, capturing the hearts and imaginations of fans worldwide.

Yet, the road to stardom was anything but smooth for Steve Austin. From his formative years spent inside the legendary "sportatorium" to his tenure at WCW, where Austin faced turbulent events that tested his resolve, to his time in the land of the extreme where he would find an outlet for his anger

Steve Austin's wrestling journey began in Dallas, Texas. Growing up, he would watch Houston wrestling, often convincing and pleading with his brothers to join him, despite their lack of interest. Wrestling became a passion that stayed with him as he excelled in high school sports and earned a football scholarship to Texas College. On weekends, Steve and his friends would pack into his truck and head to the legendary "Sportatorium," where wrestling greats like Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, and Andre the Giant had once worked. Despite its humble setting, the "Sportatorium" held a nostalgic charm as a place where legends were born. It was the mecca of wrestling in the South.
During those thrilling matches, Steve's passion for wrestling grew stronger. He and his friends would stay overnight, eagerly awaiting the TV tapings on Saturday mornings. One day, Steve saw a commercial featuring Chris Adams, a wrestling star from WCCW, advertising a wrestling school for $45. At that time, Steve was working as a freight operator, steadily climbing the corporate ladder but emotionally grappling with the end of his football dreams.

In Dallas, a local group of wrestlers called the "Von Erichs" were the biggest stars, captivating the town with their storylines. On Steve's first day of class, fans approached him, asking for his autograph, even though he wasn't yet a wrestler. They believed in his potential and foresaw his success.

It was during his first televised bout, a momentous encounter on WCCW against the journeyman wrestler "Frogman LeBlanc," that the truth was revealed exposing the business that unfolded within the squared circle. The realization hit Steve like a thunderbolt—, orchestrated to captivate and entertain the fans.

Thanks for watching I

[georgemartinez]

Injured, friend passing away, and divorced... Austin had to be stone cold tough to survive all these

[solowade]

Year later in 98 Stone Cold emerged from a broken Steve Austin

[jd]

I'm sure Brett gave Owen an earful about how sloppy that pile driver was.

[PleasantlyDisturbing]

Jesus.. Never seen it from this angle. That is SICK. It's amazing Austin survived that let alone be back in the ring .

[brettgerber]

I loved Austin & Brian as the Hollywood Blonds. I think they were the first heels I cheered for as a kid.

[nathanplunkett]

Man i loved watching "Flying" Brian Pillman wrestle. He was special.

[NovelDiscussions]

glad i got to see the blondes live at the Skydome in Toronto v Buff Bagwell and 2 cold Scorpio the WCW tag Championship match on Ric Flairs tour of gold 1990 1991

[richcas]

earlier in his career, Austin had broken someone 's neck. As someone had pointed out, Owen never apologized and when Owen tragically died, Austin did not break character during the tribute show.

[hiiipowerbass]

And now owen is a footnote and austin is a legend

[TheYungPrince]

Owen definitely did it on purpose but Steve gave out the biggest receipt, he told Vince in the ring that he’d sell his soul to Vince to get Owen back

[QaChing]

I don't care who I piss off! Owen did that on purpose! He was trying to steal Austin's thunder. Years later, Randy Orton would speak on how some wrestlers did that in order to get themselves over.

[MedalWelder]

Man had to overcome a lot to get to the top spot and he worked like hell to stay at the top.He’s better than Hulk Hogan due to the fact that there is not a single fan who wouldn’t pop for Stone Cold and that’s the bottom line cause…you know

[williammunny]

I still have no f’n clue what Owen was thinking, doing a tombstone like that. He never did it before, so why this night? And then like Steve said, he kicked out after the 3 count, hurt him again, and coulda fucked his neck & spine up even more... just to save face and make himself look strong. He knew Steve was hurt bad, but did it anyways. He shoulda taken the 3 count, and rolled sideways until he was outta the ring. Screw saving face, you just damn near put someone in a wheelchair for life. Singlehandedly took 10 years off Austin’s career, and damn near paralyzed him. I definitely can understand if Steve holds a grudge deep down. Saw an interview where Steve says he still has problems to this day, feeling his hands & legs if he sits or lays down for an extended period of time. I lost a lot of respect for Owen as an in-ring talent after this. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[CognitiveChaosCreations]

Holy Good God Almighty, 😮 I've NEVER seen the angle from behind before & DAAAMN, THAT'S FK'N BRUUUTAL!

[CeeMigoLoCo]

Man 97 was a rough year for our Attitude Era TV Wresting Daddy.. Poor Papa Austin. You'll always be number one in our hearts and a national treasure to all of us, and most of us that grew up watching you will always think of you as our Father we always wished we had growing up too 😂 That's why you shall always be, our TV Wresting Daddy! 🤼🏼‍♂️

Stone Cold 1999 200 2003 WWF WWE world

This is when the technical Stone Cold perished and the rattlesnake brawler was born.

[MickyBigRig]

This is why they sabotaged owens cable when he died

[rdCoastGames]

Austin did it to someone, same move...Owen was just giving him his receipt

[EDDIEROSSI]

Then OWEN….. had an accident .. that costed him his life. Karma perhaps ?🤔
