10 Amazing Comparisons Between Becky Lynch And Stone Cold Steve Austin

6. Got The T-Shirt

1997: A simple one, but stupendously effective. The "Austin 3:16" catchphrase is slapped on the front of a shirt. Just that. Vince McMahon was rumoured not to like it, and that stacks up - it was nothing like merchandise of old and everything like what it needed to become to suit the time. Simple, powerful and sellable.

2018: Following years of overthought efforts, Becky's best ever nickname is slapped onto a t-shirt as soon as humanly possible. Black shirt, white font in Impact - "The Man". She's the hottest star in the company and it's an immediate hot seller - people are as financially invested in the character as they are emotionally.
