8. His Unique WarGames Souvenir

It's easy to forget that Austin was part of the field for a WCW WarGames match at WrestleWar back in 1992. He teamed with other members of The Dangerous Alliance against Sting's Squadron. Jericho was like a little kid hearing his pal's memories of working that match.

Steve still has a scar on his thumb from giving Barry Windham an errant clothesline inside the cage. He smacked Barry in the teeth, and recalls being stunned that the workhorse didn't get mad backstage or even give him a receipt in-ring. Instead, Windham took the potato shot and kept on working like a pro.

Austin always thinks back to that match whenever he looks down at his hand today. The scar is a quirky reminder that he worked WarGames at all. Again, some fans have probably forgotten that it even happened. Go out of your way to see it on Peacock/WWE Network if you've never had the pleasure.

Much like Steve's story, it's awesome stuff.
