If you’re a fan of WWE or the World Wrestling Entertainment, then you must know Steve Austin, (better known as “Stone Cold”) and you must know him damn well, because it really isn’t hard to sense what kind of attitude he has and what kind of a wrestler he is. But if you say you don’t know him, then you are NOT a real WWE fan. Shame on you.

Stone Cold is the walking alcohol-gut that acknowledges no rules. You might have seen him once entering the stadium riding his ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) or his black 3:16 monster truck. But he is more than just a beer-guzzling menace; Stone Cold is a living legend. He is the rock superstar of the WWE, and more than that. So let me give you a rundown of simple facts about the famous Rattlesnake.

  • He was born as Steven James Anderson on the 18th of December 1964.
  • He shares his birthdate with several more famous names, such as Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt, Singing sensation Christina Aguilera and the sultry but deadly Trish Stratus who is also from the WWE Raw family.
  • He is from Austin Texas, thus his famous moniker, the Texas Rattlesnake.
  • One thing you might not think Stone Cold does is that he collects antiques. So don’t take anything at face value.
  • He was also a part of his school’s honor roll; aside from that, he also played in the school band.
  • He went to college but then dropped out after four months.
  • He began training for wrestling on 1988 and then had his Professional Wrestling Debut a year later.
  • He is also called “The Most Popular Superstar in WWE History.”
  • He is a well know athlete that played not only for WWE, but also for WCW (World Championship Wrestling) and ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling.
  • He is WWE’s 62nd Hall of Famer, and was inducted by his arch nemesis who is none other than Mr. Mc Mahon. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that he deserves to be one.
  • He don’t only talk the talk he can also walk the walk. Stone Cold has a slew of achievements under his belt from both WWE and WCW:
    • six time WWE Champion
    • Two time Intercontinental Champion
    • Four Time Tag Team Champion with 1.) Shawn The Heartbreak Kid Michaels 2.)Dude Love 3.) The Undertaker and 4.) HHH.
    • 1996 King of the Ring
    • 1997, 1998 and 2001 Royal Rumble Winner
    • 1997 Slammy Award Freedom of Speech winner. (apart from The Rock, Austin is known to exercise freedom of speech to its fullest, letting his mouth run off.)
    • Two time WCW Word Television Champion
    • Two time WCW United States Heavyweight Champion
    • One time WCW Word Tag Team Champion with Brian Pillman.
    • Not only does he have a slew of wrestling achievements under his belt, he also has a slew of marriages under his belt. Austin was married three times:
      • To Kathryn Burrhus 1990-1992
      • To Jeannie Clark 1992-1999
      • To Debra Marshall 2000-2003
      • He quit wrestling when the makers and management of WWE wanted him to deliberately lose his match against Brock Lesnar.

these are only a few facts about him, Steve Austin as I said is a living legend who has been around for more than two decades, I cannot summarize his legend in a single articles, but I’m sure now you realize how much of a big shot wrestler Stone Cold really is.
