Nobody calls out Stone Cold for completely stealing this mans gimmick. Why?

Anyone can drink beer. Stone Cold was on another level in terms of mic work and crowd work.

Sandman got just as big of pops as Stone Cold did, maybe even bigger.

Because Stone Cold had catchphrases, and WWE revisionist history has told you not to think about it.

Sandman was more of a sleazebag type character, Austin was a surly redneck. Huge difference if you’re not a dribbling retard

Austin has actually called himself out for stealing his shtick and always puts over ECW any chance he gets so there's really no big secret lol

That is about as much as the two gimmicks had in common.

Neither gimmick is all that complex or original really. Austin was just good on the mic and had that it factor when his look and tone came together.

How big were the crowds?
Austin was getting 25k thousand people, on a weekly basis, to come out their chairs, and pockets (still to this day) on a weekly basis when he was active.

austin would have still been over without the beer drinking but he for sure was ripping off sandman when he started doing that. yeah "tons of people could have come up with that" but he'd seen sandman do it and knew he was doing his gimmick

If Sandman was put on that stage, he would have gotten the same result. Stone Cold was right place, right time.

Nah, I’m thinking ecw fans aren’t the casual millions that Austin drew.
Sandman was a hard drug addict and not good in the ring.
Do you always deal in unrealistic hypotheticals?

Along with Sandman he also worked a lot with Mikey Whipwreck while in ECW and 'borrowed' a new finisher too, for such a brief run it was totally instrumental in his career.
>>7317579
It became part of his post-match routine by 98 but he first started chugging down beers on TV during those neck injury interviews with JR in 97 IIRC.
