Wrestlers With The Most World Titles (Across All Major Federations)
41. Steve Austin (6)
6 WWE Championships
After that rather tedious introduction, nothing like the sound of shattering glass to wake you up. 'The Rattlesnake' needs no introduction. World-class matches inside the ring, revolutionary promos outside of it, he stands as one of the greatest and most important stars in the history of the business. He spent six years at the top (from 1997 to 2003) and won six world titles. One can only imagine what could've happened if it wasn't for a botched piledriver.
Strangely, Austin's fame never fully transferred outside of the wrestling bubble. Your parents probably know who Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are, will be familiar with the name of Hulk Hogan ("oh yeah, the wrestler guy in Rocky III?"), but will have never heard of one Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's odd because, inside of the wrestling bubble, the simple sound of shattering glass sends fans into a frenzy.
