Stone Cold, because although KOTR is usually billed as something that catapaults careers, what Stone Cold did at that PPV actually did it.

The result of Austin's win is bigger than anyone else's King of the Ring win.

Not really, though. All he really did in that tournament was defeat an over the hill Jake Roberts. Austin would have been a star with or without that tournament.

Yes he would have, but it's hard to know how important that promo was. It's certainly legendary, and WWE tries to tell us it catapaulted him.
Perhaps it's what made them take real notice. Or perhaps the fan response to the catchphrase played a huge part. |

A lot of that response probably had to do with the fact that he said "ass", which was pretty rare at that point in time. I remember that's why I started thinking Austin was cool. That and his theme music.

Just the way Doc Hendrix pulled the mic away when he said 'ass' gave him instant credibility.

I am not 100% sure about that. If he didn't win, you don't know if he would have ever made that promo. I think it had more significance because it was at the KOTR PPV. If it were on Raw, it might get lost in the shuffle.

The speech was a result of facing and defeating Jake Roberts who was working a "Bible Bashing" gimmick I believe. So, without the victory over Jake and the platform to cut the promo it may well have never happened.

I said he would have become a star without the tournament. I didn't say he would have cut the exact same promo, you dickheads.
If you can show me proof that "Austin 3:16" was the ONLY reason that he was insanely over, then we can revisit this. |

only reason Austin was KOR was because Triple H fucked up for the Curtain call incident. He was supposed to be KOR in 96
