Agreed. Austin was absolute dogshit and got mogged in talent and popularity by The Rock and HHH.

he was the top guy of the top company during the hottest period for pro wrestling ever.
he reached the top of the mountain and touched the sun just as it was peaking; even if his prime wasn't that long, it's still notable.

The circumstances within which he rose to the top were more than anyone else could've handled. WCW had just about every established star in the business on its roster. The WWF was close to going under. There was no blueprint on how one could go about succeeding with the deck stacked so heavily against him, so he had to figure everything out on his own as he went. And he did. He's the GOAT of pro wrestling.

his prime only stopped because of injuries, not because he stopped being over. even after he retired from wrestling and started doing the GM thing he was the most over guy on the show.

>hotshotted

Outmoded term used by Cornette-tards who don't understand that the carny tactics that worked back in the territory days are no longer applicable to a business that relies on globally broadcast live events that are produced in large venues all over the nation and the world. There's a reason an elderly blob like Paul Heyman puts up with all the stress and hassle of traveling around the world in the pressure-cooker that is the WWE. It's because they pay him much more than he would make if he sat on his ass pretending to know what he's talking about on a podcast. The WWE still needs capable and competent wrestling minds to help them produce content. And yet they never reach out to Corny. Go ahead and listen to his entertaining rants, but never let him con you into believing he understands the modern wrestling business. He doesn't. He's a carny retard and he's got you.

Exactly. And he did more with those 2 years than either Cena or Roman has done with their 10+

I remember back in 1998/1999 before I was even watching wrestling how massively popular Stone Cold was. Most 14 year old boys thought wrestling was the coolest shit ever thanks to Austin and the NWO. Nowadays if a 14 year old boy watches wrestling you pretty much know he's an autistic faggot.
