10 Best Tough Guy Names In Wrestling
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
The archetypal Attitude Era badass, Stone Cold Steve Austin sounds like someone you don't want to mess with.
Which proves that the right adjectives help a lot. Plenty of people messed with "Stunning" Steve Austin, though the Hollywood Blonde thing probably didn't help.
And The Ringmaster was never going to strike fear into the hearts of his foes. "Master" seems like a tough guy name on paper, but when you look at the history books -- Chris Masters, The Taskmaster, The Shockmaster, Master Blaster -- it just doesn't pan out.
But Stone Cold Steve Austin? That's more like it. It sounds ruthless. Unyielding. (And a hell of a lot tougher than Chilly McFreeze.)
Combine that with the sound of glass breaking, a confident march to the ring, and a middle finger or two, and you've got yourself a tough guy icon for the ages.
