Early Viewing - Creating A Wrestler: Stone Cold Steve Austin
🕑 Added 2024-01-20 14:48:01 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone! Wanted to try something different with "CAW" formula and look at a wrestler that's a bit more rooted in real-life. Not many people talk about the very early version of "Stone Cold" before his KOTR win, so I thought Austin would make an interesting subject for this episode of Create a Wrestler. Hope you enjoy!

Proud to say that I had his poster up on my wall as a kid growing up. Loved the video my dude.

The comment at the end about Austin's career matching the evolving trends in the wrestling landscape made me realize that his personal journey pre-WWF mirrored his evolution after joining: - It starts off focused on his technical wrestling (singles "Stunning" Steve vs the Ringmaster) - He gets into greater character work (Hollywood Blonds vs the Iceman version of Stone Cold) - And finally he finds his edge and more of his real self in his character (his time as "Superstar" Steve in ECW vs "Austin 3:16" Stone Cold and onward) It's poetic in a way, the same path that got him noticed he had to walk again to reach once in a lifetime star status.
