Today, with so many podcasts (many of them free), it’s easier than ever to hear about the backstage grudges, trials, and tribulations that wrestling’s biggest stars have endured. Years ago, insider newsletters and videotaped "shoot interviews" with former stars were the only ways fans could learn about the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing that went on in the business. From legends of the squared circle to active wrestlers to former writers and even mainstream journalists, it seems everyone under the sun has an outlet to air their opinions on the industry.

Goldberg Vs Austin for the WWF title at Summerslam.If you’re a professional wrestling fan with an Internet connection, odds are you’re aware of the current boom and subscribe to at least one wrestling podcast. Goldberg helps Team Alliance win at Invasion. Yes it would have cost millions but if you'd thrown millions at Goldberg just picture it. What i would loved to have happened is instead of Austin flip flopping and turning heel again at invasion after the huge reaction at the RAW before if they had WCW win without Austin turning by throwing millions at one wrestler
If Austin had not been cowardly but been a bastard it may have worked and not betrayed his character development but then again its that attitude that made Austin popular so maybe it was impossible haha. ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS.Įverything up to September 2001 was AMAZING even though i wanted him to be a face. However we are forgetting a lot of things which austin did which were superb in 2001Īustin/HHH Vs Taker/Kane for all the beltsĪustin Vs Benoit Vs Jericho (i believe booker T invaded this match)Īustin returning in the July to help team WWF BIGGEST REACTION EVER. It was the year of Steve Austin.Īye i didnt like the heel turn as it was illogical with no rock there fulltime. And the classic supermarket fight with Booker T.Ģ001 was not a space odessy. Later in the year pretending to kiss Vince ass then proceeding to nut shot him. The classic rivalry with Rock mixed in with the end of a classic rivalry with Triple H.

It was the most experimental and fun period of his career.Īnd what made 2001 such a special year was for 8 months you got the heel/experimental side but at the beginning up until Wrestlemania and from after Survivor Series to the end of the year you also got arguably some of the best of classic babyface Steve Austin. He combined a ruthless, vicious streak to keep his title at all costs with some of the most entertaining moments in the history of the industry. Of course making the deal with the devil twice with Vince and The Alliance.Ģ001 Steve Austin was the perfect heel.
Throwing Kurt Angle's medals off the bridge and pile driving him onto the concrete. Starting to save Stephanie from the stink face and inexplicably walking away when Mick Foley's steel chair never would have made it through the ropes. Beating the shit out of Spike Dudley, Michael Cole and Taz. Destroying Kanes arms with the 50 steel chair shots. All of this combined with the vicious side of him we saw in the 2 man power trip. The weird friendship with Vince and the hugs.
Singing Margaritaville with the Rock and the sing along with Kurt Angle. In 2001 what we saw from Steve was all 3 of those things in different forms combined with comedy. In the previous years what we saw from Steve was passionate anger, obsession and rebellion.
Taking that year off from 99 to 2000 reinvigorated him and he came back better than ever. Yes he was amazing in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and the little we saw from Steve in 2000. To me 2001 was Steve Austin's career year.
