Austin was trained by Chris Adams, and made his first big
organization debut in WCW in 1990 with Buddy Lee Parker as his
manager. He won the WCW TV Title from Bobby Eaton on June 3, 1991
and held it for just under 11 months before losing to Barry
Windham on April 27, 1992. Austin regained the belt from Windham
about a month later on May 23, 1992 and held onto it for about 3
months until he lost it to Ricky Steamboat on September 2, 1992.
Austin was then on the rise in WCW, he won the tag titles with
the late, Brian Pillman. They were billed "The Hollywood Blonds."
Austin's single career was on the rise as well. He won the US
Title from Dustin Rhodes at Starrcade '93 and held onto the belt
for 8 months until losing it to Ricky Steamboat on August 24,
1994. Steamboat was stripped of the belt and it was awarded back
to Austin on September 18, 1994 when Steamboat was unable to
defend the belt due to injury, but Austin lost the strap to
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan that same, very night. After the loss
Austin's career started to dwindle, then WCW Vice President,
Eric Bishoff wanted Austin to get a new gimmick, Austin refused
and was fired from WCW in 1995.
Austin then made a brief sting in ECW in 1995 for a few
months, but had a huge impact. He lost a 4-man ECW title match,
and had a couple of memorable battles with the Sandman, during
this time he was intervied with Pro Wrestling Illustrated and
said he'd never go to WWF and that he was very happy in ECW, but
a month later Austin signed with the WWF in December 1995.
Austin debuted on a December 1995 episode of RAW and was
labeled "The Ringmaster" and had Ted Dibiase as his manager.
Everybody thought that Austin was gonna win the 1996 Royal Rumble
in January, but was eliminated in the final minutes by Fatu(now
better known as Rakishi Fatu). In March Austin changed his name
from Ringmaster to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and was involved in
a stellar feud with Savio Vega. Vega caused Austin his first WWF
pin loss on an episode of WWF Superstars, after a sneak up rollup.
Austin made his Wrestlemania debut at WM 12 and defeated Savio
Vega with his old finisher, The Million Dollar Dream.
Austin lost against Vega at the May 1996 PPV, In Your House:
Beware of Dog 2 in a Carribean Strap Match, with the stipulation
that if Austin loss, Dibiase would leave the WWF. So Austin was
now on his own and his status rised in the WWF. A month later he
won the 1996 King of the Ring by beating Jake Roberts in the
finals. He won the 1997 Royal Rumble, Austin got eliminated
earlier, but the refs didn't see it, and Austin ran back in and
eliminated Bret Hart to win it. At the next PPV, IN Your House:
Final Four, Austin was in a 4-Man Battle Royal between Vader,
Undertaker, and Bret Hart where the vacant World Belt was at
stakes. Austin was the first to be eliminated in his first PPV
main event.
Austin won the tag belts with Shawn Michaels from Owen Hart
and the British Bulldog in May 1997, but Shawn left the team and
Dude Love took his spot. At Summerslam '97 Austin wrestled Owen
for the IC belt, Austin won the match and the belt, but Austin
injured his neck, and was stripped of the belt. Austin won the
belt back from Owen at that year's Survivor Series. Austin
forfeited the belt to Rocky Maivia a month later after refusing
to fight him, but Austin gave Rocky a Stunner, and stole the
IC belt, and the next week on RAW tossed the IC belt in a river.
Austin then put his focus back on the World Belt, and won
the Royal Rumble again in 1998, he earned a title shot and won
the World Belt from Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 14. You'd think
that after a great buildup that Austin would hold the belt for a
pretty long time, right?, but Austin only held onto the strap for
3 months until he lost the belt to Kane at King of the Ring,
Austin won the belt back the next night on RAW and held it for
another 3 months, during that time he also had a half month tag
title reign with the Undertaker in July.
Austin was on a quest to get the World Belt back, he was in
13-man one night world title tournament at the Survivor Series,
he won the first round by DQ against the Big Boss Man, his second
round opponent was suppose to be the winner of the X-Pac, Steven
Regal match, but that ended up in a double countout and Austin got
a bye into the semi-finals, but lost against Mankind after Sgt.
Slaughter nailed him with a chair.
Austin was the runner-up of the 1999 Royal Rumble after he
lost to Vince McMahon, but the next day on RAW Vince waived his
rights of winning the Royal to earn a title shot and therefore
the runner-up earned a title shot at WM 15. So Austin got the
title shot and won the belt from Rocky Maivia at WM 15, he lost
the strap to the Undertaker at Over the Edge in May, and regained
it at RAW a month later in June, but lost it to Mankind in a
triple threat match between Mankind and Hunter Hearst Helmsley
at Summerslam. Austin had one more title shot against Helmsley
at the October No Mercy, but Austin lost and had another title
shot a month later at Survivor Series, but Austin was hit by
a car that night and injured his neck. That was the last we saw
of Austin on WWF TV, but he'll probably be back soon and will more
than likely win back the WWF gold.
