Austin's heel run disqualify's him from being the GOAT

[Riley Escobar]

Austin and King Kurtis's double-act in 2001 was one of the greatest things to ever happen in professional wrestling history

Those two nikkas had chemistry for days

 

[Brad Piff]

I loved his run as a heel

This thread is about as out of place as "disqualify's" in the Webster's Dictionary.

Austin did lose momentum and it affected his career standings in terms of whether he would be looked at as the greatest of all time

at his peak though, he was bigger than any wrestler ever...

i think his performance towards the end of his career and coming out and doing the drinking, the what, the oh hell yeah over and over and over for what seemed like 5 years hurt him in a long term persective as well...

his character was perfect, the ultimate bad ass, and they did kind of neuter him after the heel turn and then turning into a more comedy figure... it ruined him imo.

he was on pace to be the GOAT

Austin's alliance theme is the most underrated theme of all time

Nah,THIS is




So raw

So raw

That gets its love. Let's not act like it was the GOAT ruthless aggression track

 

[captaincharisma]

Not only that but all of hoegans stale, virtually non existent early yeArs in wcw..

That entire heel run made me appreciate Austin for how versatile he actually made his character. He's the GOAT.

Threads like this are why I'm THE GREAT SHOWTIME and you're just "showtime"

This man get's it

Austin HIMSELF said he if he could he wouldn't have done the heel run again, it didn't work. Also it made no sense why did Austin join Vince after 5 years of hating him? Why did Vince help Austin win the title after doing everything in his power to keep the belt from him? They never explained this. They made the bad-ass Austin character so soft it was a complete 180 and his face character was never the same after this. Him joining the Alliance was even dumber.

Hulk Hogan (Hulkamania) arguably GOAT face
Hollywood Hogan arguably GOAT heel

The Rock arguably GOAT face
Heel Rock arguably GOAT heel

Austin 3:16 arguably GOAT face
Austin heel not great

 

[krackdagawd]

Heel Rock arguably GOAT heel

Austin heel not great

 

[Brad Piff]

Rock is in my top 5, but he was never really a TRUE heel ..

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Austin didn't like the loss of that merch money. It wasn't no creative shyt.

I think the Austin/Angle thing is overrated. His heel run got shaky right there. The Two Man Power Trip is how Austin was supposed to be as a heel. Just a ruthless ass kicker. I guess they made him a coward after seeing how much the TMPT was getting cheered.
