Early Viewing - Creating A Wrestler: Stone Cold Steve Austin
Added 2024-01-20 14:48:01 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone! Wanted to try something different with "CAW" formula and look at a wrestler that's a bit more rooted in real-life. Not many people talk about the very early version of "Stone Cold" before his KOTR win, so I thought Austin would make an interesting subject for this episode of Create a Wrestler. Hope you enjoy!

Proud to say that I had his poster up on my wall as a kid growing up. Loved the video my dude.
2024-01-23 21:58:06 +0000 UTCThe comment at the end about Austin's career matching the evolving trends in the wrestling landscape made me realize that his personal journey pre-WWF mirrored his evolution after joining: - It starts off focused on his technical wrestling (singles "Stunning" Steve vs the Ringmaster) - He gets into greater character work (Hollywood Blonds vs the Iceman version of Stone Cold) - And finally he finds his edge and more of his real self in his character (his time as "Superstar" Steve in ECW vs "Austin 3:16" Stone Cold and onward) It's poetic in a way, the same path that got him noticed he had to walk again to reach once in a lifetime star status.
