WWE: Top 25 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments

A look at Austin's most destructive, hated, controversial, alcohol-consuming, Stunner-inducing, wildly outrageous moments.

In today's day and age where wrestling has taken on an almost entirely different disguise thanks to sponsors and the audience demographic, it's a particularly strange feeling knowing that the WWE is nothing like it was in the late 90's and early 2000's. Nostalgia then takes over, having us crave the good old days for its diverse versatility and not-afraid-to-take-chances attitude. Of course I'm talking about the infamous Attitude Era and the late Ruthless Aggression Era, two of the most recognisable timelines in the entire wrestling organisation. Many great moments were set in stone during those times, but none were made more famous (or infamous by wrestling reckoning, of course) and memorable by none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin. Throughout the years, Steve Austin has reinvented the way wrestling is and was. By becoming more than just a second-rate wrestler and elevating himself up to the highest entertaining pinnacle in the WWE's cherished history, he's become one of the most respected icons in the industry. His presence was intimidating and his pronounced abilities in entertaining the fans, and consuming a lot of beer, were legendary. But all good things come to an end at some point, and Steve Austin ended his time with a bang in the WWE. He left behind some really incredible moments that put their mark on the WWE and forever symbolised the Texas Rattlesnake as a legend and the ultimate badass. To cherish those times where wrestling was considered in its prime, I've compiled 25 of Steve Austin's most destructive, hated, controversial, alcohol-consuming, Stunner-inducing, wildly outrageous moments into one article, that was written more in the memory of his time in the company rather than an inspired article based off my love for wrestling's past. So let's dive into Stone Cold's world for awhile and see what crazy antics the Texas Rattlesnake laid out during his career....
