You know, I see people try to claim that modern wrestlers all build from the attitude era, but that's obviously not true. Critical PPV matches with three months of build up are one thing, but could you imagine Stone Cold rolling out of the ring after three powerbombs in any other situation, and the announces reacting with anyone other than disbelief in the PPV scenario? No, he'd be out cold, because he was a vulnerable human being, and that's part of what made his toughness so cool.

I think that there needs to be a "Stone Cold's rule". If Stone Cold wouldn't be KO'd after the move that you just took, you're entering circus show territory if you're fine after taking it.
