I just spent the last two hours doing nothing but searching & watching random Austin promos on youtube from 1996 and 1997. Jesus Christ, this motherfucker was a promo GOD back then. He had plenty of golden rants that I didn't even know about

Next you should watch Rock during some of his nation of domination and corporate rock run. Dude was absolute dimes on the mic. He wasn't always just a catchphrase spammer.

1996 and early 1997 WWE was unironically pure kino.
Also you can tell SCSA was hungry to stay in his spot with how energetic his earlier promos are, I think later on he realized how over he was so he phoned it in a tad bit and got confortsble as there was no longer a fire under his ass

You should thank Foley, Raven and Pillman.
It was watching them in ECW that made Austin realise he had to massively step it up

I'm glad he stopped using that catchphrase every five sentences.

One thing I've noticed is that both Austin and Rock's promos became flanderized to a certain extent by 1999/2000, and they both constantly spammed catchphrases in those promos. But if you watch their '96 and '97 promos you can see and hear their unfiltered charisma and talent on the mic

The same thing that this poster said about Austin could be applied to Rock.
>>13615522
The Rock was fighting for a spot on the card. He turned his frustrations into pure gold. But after that, and after he made it, he could relax and rely on the same 5 catchphrases and still get a great pop. Still, that Billy Gunn promo has to be the most brutal promo of all time. Absolutely dismantled that man's career in real time.

Livewire had a lot of hidden gold segments and promos
A lot of fans missed out on them because it was a Saturday morning recap show
Some fans don't even realize that Cornette and Russo did a segment together on Livewire

you're a real cocksucker, you know that? he's actually bringing the content and conversation to the board. unlike you who is a faggot. a lot of us are wrestling fans and watch the promos and matches. you care so much about clean clothes go work at the laundry like the laundry woman FAGGOT that you are. and i'm spitting facts on you.

Back in 1996 and 1997, they weren't gigastars yet. Austin was still trying to establish himself while Rocky needed to prove himself after his botched blue chipper babyface run. They were hungry youngsters ready to prove themselves.
