/pw/ - Professional Wrestling

He was the hottest star in the hottest, most recognisable period of wrestling. His star has faded more than others because he's been less prominent since and didn't have the sustained run of others but it's revisionism or ignorance to not understand that he was the guy when it mattered the most.

He's the biggest star in pro wrestling history. There's nothing wrong with him living a quiet life of retirement. Some people just don't want to be in the spotlight that long, he made his money.

It’s pretty ok to hate on hogan especially after calling people niggers. Austin still has certain sway and weight in the industry which is why you don’t hear too many people being honest about him or being open about his negative behavior, but he did fuck people over too. especially the deal with roddy which was pretty heinous.

>refused to work a program with hhh in 99/2000
>refused to put mick over when mick was white hot
>refused to put kane over
>refused to put kurt over and killed his momentum
>refused to put benoit over

some of the other stuff like with jarrett and billy gunn is fine because they’re both shitters.

Austin was absolutely right to protect his spot against all those names. His only really big mistake was thinking he needed to turn heel when he did.

I can personally vouch that's not true in the slightest based solely on how many people had no clue who he was in The Expendables. Even Terry Crews was more recognized as Chris' dad from Everybody Hates Chris. Hogan was the wrestler from Rocky 3, Rock is a proper Hollywood megastar, Austin is a complete who.

I think that has more to do with Austin not really being in anything since he retired. He did a few movies but nothing too mainstream. If Chyna is actually known or recognized world wide, not exactly famous. Just recognized. Then I have a hard time believing that Stone Cold isn't. Granted, Chyna is a freak of nature who killed itself before the whole tranny insanity started.

Remember when Austin walked out the night after WrestleMania 18 because he didn't like his place on the card?

Remember when Austin skipped the brand split draft in 2002 because he wasn't going to be the first pick?

Remember when he no showed a bunch of Raws in Fall 01 because he had to put kurt angle over for 9/11 reasons and he didn't want to?

Remember when he walked out again because he was seething over lesnar and vince was trying to move on from Austins old ass?

Remember when he didn't want to put The Rock over at WrestleMania 2000 so he got his neck surgery faster than he was supposed to?

Rock surpassed him 1999. Only year Austin had was 98 and that was because of Vince and Mike Tyson.

Reminder that Vince said Steve Austin sold more merchandise in a SINGLE FINANCIAL QUARTER than the entire company had made from its literal beginning under Vince Sr up until that point.

In one single quarter, Austin drew more money on merch alone than the WWWF or WWF had earned up until 1998. And you retards in here are saying he wasn't a draw, lmao
