Steve Austin (born Steven James Anderson on December 18, 1964, later Steven Williams), better known by his ring name “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is an American film and television actor and retired professional wrestler. Austin wrestled for several well-known wrestling promotions such as World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and most famously, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which later became World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002. He won the 1997, 1998, & 2001 Royal Rumbles. In the late 1990s, Austin gained significant mainstream popularity in the WWF as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, a disrespectful, beer-drinking antihero who routinely defied his boss, Vince McMahon. This defiance was often shown by Austin flipping McMahon off and incapacitating him with the Stone Cold Stunner, his finishing move. |
