>>11219070Austin was in a dark, dark place at the time, his body was broken down, he was in constant pain, he was on different painkillers to try and ease his suffering, he burnt out, and, let's be perfectly frank, Vince and WWF did him fucking dirty. This isn't trying to justify what he did to Debra, but he got himself out of that dark place, conquered his demons, and put it firmly behind him. Like Bret Hart, Austin is a reminder that it isn't truly over unless you let it be over. To that end, he, like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Jake the Snake, are stories of hope for all of us. No matter how dark, bleak, or hopeless it might seem or things get, it's never truly over unless you give up. Basically, he's Guts... just not as badass - but who is?
