[b]Steve Austin is Born![/b]
Steve Austin was born in 1990 when a 25 year old Steve Williams decided to
pursue a life long interest and enrolled in a wrestling school run by Chris
Adams. In 1991 'Stunning' Steve Austin debuted in [i]World Championship
Wrestling[/i].
[b]Time in WCW and ECW[/b]
Steve Austin spent five years in WCW. He held the TV Title twice, the US
Title twice, and the Tag Titles once with the late Brian Pillman.
1991-06-03 Steve defeats Bobby Eaton [b]winning the WCW World TV
Championship[/b]. On 1992-04-27 Barry Windham defeats Austin for the TV
Title in a best of three. [i]Austin's reign fell 9 days short of Arn Anderson's
record.[/i] 1992-06-23 Steve Austin defeats Barry Windham for his [b]second
TV Title reign[/b]. On 1992-09-02 Austin loses the title to Ricky Steamboat
in a no-DQ match.
1993-03-02 [b]wins Tag Titles[/b] with Brian Pillman defeating
Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas. The Hollywood Blondes become a top team.
Several months later (1993-08-18) Pillman goes on the injured list and Austin
loses the Tag Titles, with replacement Steven Regal, to Arn Anderson and Paul
Roma. The Blondes breakup.
1993-12-27 Steve defeats Dustin Rhodes (aka Goldust) two out of three to
[b]win the US Title[/b]. 1994-09-18 Austin [b]regains US
Title[/b] from Ricky Steamboat, who forfeited due to injury. Jim Duggan
defeats Austin immediately after. At this point Austin is no longer given a push
and is held back. Eventually Austin goes on the injured list and leaves WCW.
In the summer of 1995 'Superstar' Steve Austin debuts in [i]Extreme
Championship Wrestling[/i]. Later that year Austin signs with the WWF.
[b]Steve Austin's rise thru the WWF[/b]
Steve Austin debuts as Ted Dibiase's Ringmaster. Soon a feud with Savio Vega
leads to a match, 1996-04-28, stipulating that if Austin loses Dibiase must
leave the WWF. Austin later claims he threw the match to get rid of Dibiase.
Austin begins to take on his Stone Cold persona.
1996-06-23 King of The Ring. Stone Cold defeats Jake 'the Snake' Roberts
marking the rise of [url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/#316]Austin 3:16[/url]. Later that year, Austin
begins bad mouthing Bret Hart. At the 1996 Buried Alive, Austin defeats Hunter
Hearst-Helmsley (Triple H). 1997 Royal Rumble Austin defeats Bret Hart. At WM
XIII Stone Cold loses to Bret Hart in a submission match, passing out rather
than submitting. Thus elevating his career even higher.
(1997-05-27) [b]Austin and HBK Shawn Michaels win the Tag
Titles[/b] defeating Owen Hart and Bulldog. HBK takes time off, Austin is
stripped of the Tag Titles. On July 14 Stone Cold is prepared to fight Owen and
Bulldog by himself to reclaim the Tag Titles when none other than Dude Love,
perhaps better known as Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) came to Stone Cold's aid.
Together they defeat Owen and Bulldog to [b]recapture the Tag Team
Championship[/b] belts.
(1997-08-3) Summer Slam. Austin defeats Owen Hart for his [b]first IC
Title win[/b]. But vacates the IC and Tag titles due to an injury sustained
during the match by a badly executed pile-driver. Stone Cold returns to defeat
Owen Hart at Survivor Series (1997-11-09) to [b]win the IC Title a second
time[/b]. On 1997-12-06 Austin defeats Rocky Maivia (The Rock) retaining
the IC Title, however the next night on Raw he hands it to Rocky and goes after
the WWF Championship. [i]Actually the Rattlesnake took the IC belt and threw it
in a river.[/i] Stone Cold eliminated Rocky at the 1998 Royal Rumble, earning
his title shot at WrestleMania XIV. Steve Austin defeated HBK with Mike Tyson as
the enforcer/referee and has fought to hang on to the title as much as possible
since then. Stone Cold held the [b]Tag Titles for a third time[/b]
with, his then number one contender, the Undertaker. They defeated Kane and
Mankind at [url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/../summaries/1998.html#fully1998]Fully Loaded 1998[/url].
Austin's most recent WWF Championship reign ended when Mankind won a Triple
Threat match at [url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/../summaries/9908.html#ss99]Summer Slam 1999[/url].
When Stone Cold walks to the ring in his black boots and black trunks
everyone watching the show knows anything can happen (and probably will). Most
of Stone Cold's success may be attributed to three words: [b]"Don't trust
anybody!"[/b]
On [i]Byte This[/i] 1999-11-04 Austin said that he is indeed dating Debra,
the two went on a hunting trip recently. He likes working with Triple H and said
he, or the Undertaker, would be his first choice for a partner if he had to have
one. On training he commented, "I like my hamburgers and beer." Austin likes to
enjoy life, so he doesn't train as seriously as some other stars. He also
mentioned that he may be getting new entrance music. One of his favorite past
WWF stars was Ricky Steamboat. Also he remarked that Shawn Michaels was kind of
a jackass.
