Rank a Wrestler #22 - Steve Austin

[Jimmy Cones]

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

I've been sitting here for 7 minutes trying to figure out where to begin. SCSA is awesome. Before his knees and neck went out he was a damn fine wrestler, and even after he was still great at brawling. His charisma is top notch as well. I'm glad his career went the way it did. Getting fired at WCW where they wouldn't have used him right at all, to working in ECW and getting to practice his promos and wrestle some good matches, to WWF where they gave him the ball and he ran like no other starting with the king of the ring which gave birth to Austin 3:16. The feud with Bret leading to the double turn with him passed out in a pool of blood unwilling to tap out was brilliant. Then the Wrestlemania with Shawn that sparked enthusiasm throughout all of wrestling. It's hard for me to justify giving the first mainstream anti-hero anything lower then a 10.

What?

I said it's hard for me to justify giving him anything lower then a 10.

What?

... Fuck.
