TSC Evaluation #115: Stone Cold Steve Austin

[Mr. Manhattan]

Every 6 months someone posts a thread about that promo where he says “I aint no sexy boy. I don’t dance son”. And they should because it’s the GOAT promo.

10.

 

[Heelish]

@Heelish you better try and back that 8 rating up

I originally did a 9, then worked myself into a shoot when failing to separate the person from the artist. I’ll base it on the wrestler.

 

[Rayzah]

Top 2-3 all time, used to be able to work the traditional way then broke his freaking neck and still put on entertaining matches after for another 3-5 years.. one of the best promo guys ever and had the GOAT gimmick and created his own lane by becoming a face by acting like a heel.. anyone who has him less than a 10 takes themself too seriously

 

[Riley Escobar]

@mrken12 can we get Ahmed Johnson and Juventud Guerrera added to the upcoming list?

 

[Jmare007]

He's Stone GOAT for a reason, 10.

I'm not sure it's the case anymore, but for a long time he was pretty underrated as a wrestler.

 

[Stop_It_5]

the start of the GOAT era





the peak of the GOAT era

 

[mrken12]

This shyt was gold too

Their match later that night wasn't too bad.

 

[Hey_zeus]

A great wrestler and a great sports entertainer. Has some of the most iconic imagery ever. The 3:16 promo, Tyson vs Austin, bloody face in sharpshooter etc. The two greatest feuds of all time with Vince and The Rock. 10

 

[boriquaking]

Can we please just get the rock out of the way already?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This has me really looking forward to The Rock's. Macho Man and Savage past 100+ 10s

 

[Stone Cold Steve Autism]

Well hell son, it was mighty damn nice of y'all to come on down to the Broken dikk Ranch and vote good old Stone Cold a solid ten, just like the length of male pornstar Justin Slayer's penis. Now after I enjoy this glass of wine I'll invite y'all inside to view my enormous collection of pornographic films. Got a few on my kindle right here! Biteable Cheekbones Volume 1 and 2, son.

 

[BrehWyatt]

10.

@mrken12 - You getting ready to cut that retirement promo??? The last couple of weeks have all been straight bangers! Macho, Flair, Austin even Kong, Jericho have all been recent.

Nonetheless, Austin is a 10.

The evolution from Hollywood Blonde Austin to Stone Cold happened so organically and masterfully. His ring work began to wane as injuries and years piled on and he simultaneously became one of the handful of guys that truly define mainstream wrestling.

Ring Work - 8 He always made matches feel important and made sure the story supported the work.

• Hart V Austin at WM 13
• Cage match with VKM at the Massacre
• Storming the ring during the InVasion angle

Promos - 10
Character - S-Rank (solidified the change in wrestling taste)

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

3 + 1 + 6 = 10.

Who would of thought that 2 cultural icons, 1 from the 70s and 1 90s would have the same character names and ending up being coined with the same bionic nickname as their bodies were literally broken down.

My breh @patscorpio summed it all up for me. He even got Austin's first tape plug in as well

Just to add on to the evolution of Austin's style and 3 of his famous matches over the course of his career from start middle and end.

War Games Austin, people forget he use to bump the phuck around the ring.
SSeries 96 Austin showed his technical prowess.
WM17 Austin showed his brawling style that his career evolved into due to the toll of the injuries, to his neck and knees.
