Stone Cold, Early Life, Wrestling and Career

1. Stone Cold, Early Life, Wrestling and Career

2. Who is Steve “Stone Cold” Austin? • Steve “Stone Cold” Austin was born in Texas and went to college at North Texas State University, where he played football. In 1989, he became a professional wrestler. Because another wrestler had already used his real name, Steve Williams, he used names like “Stunning Steve Austin” and “The Ringmaster” before becoming “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Before he retired in 2003, he was one of the best-known WWE wrestlers because of his catchphrase “Austin 3:16.” After he stopped wrestling professionally, Austin acted in a few movies and now hosts a number of reality TV shows and podcasts.

3. Early Years • Austin was born in Austin, Texas, on December 18, 1964. He raise up in the small town of Edna, Texas. Scott, Kevin, Jeff, and Jennifer are his brothers and sisters. He says that when he was in middle school, he “broke out of his shyness when he found football.” In the end, sports helped him feel more confident.

4. School Life • He was a running back in the football crew at Edna Secondary School, got straight A’s in school, and was in the National Honor Society. He says he used to want to be a rock star, but he couldn’t sing or play any instruments, so he gave up on that dream. All things being equal, he “went gaga for” wrestling, which he says “just sounded good” to him one day as he was flipping through Stations.

5. Left USWA • Before his first match in Memphis, he found out that a wrestler with the name “Dr. Death” Steve Williams already existed. He had 15 minutes to come up with a new name. He chose “Stunning Steve Austin” with the help of his booker, Dutch Mantell. At the time, he was known for his red, sequined robes. In 1990, he left USWA. • Read Also: cast of american me

6. Career after Wrestling • Austin took a break from acting for three years, during which he says he drank a lot. He then went to California to start an acting career. The Longest Yard, with Adam Sandler, was his first movie. The Condemned, in 2007, and The Expendables, in 2010, were his next two movies. Austin says it didn’t take long for him to realize.

7. Broken Skull Sessions • Fnally, he says he found his “niche” in hosting, reality TV, podcasting, and a WWE Network interview segment called the Broken Skull Sessions.

8. Life at Home and the Kids • Austin has been married more than once, and his daughters’ names are Stephanie and Cassidy. He admits that his wrestling career was more important to him than being a good dad, which hurt his relationship with his kids. He explains, “They realized I cherished them, yet I was not there”. “Now that they are more seasoned, we are headed to improving. So now they are going after their own goals. I back them, and if I can help them in any way, I do. After all the nonsense that has happened, we’re finally talking. Even though the relationships were tense, they are better now, but it’s still a building block because, after all these years, we still don’t know each other as well as we should.”
