Stone Cold's "What?" taunts began as a flyby addition to his rhetoric, which gained a strange form of traction during each passing week. There are numerous occasions where Austin milked this one-word holler for all it was worth, but probably the best example of its ridiculousness was during a fleeting backstage interview, where Michael Cole sought to quiz Steve over his ruthless attack on Kurt Angle.

It's not long before Steve gets right in Cole's face, unleashes a verbal barrage, and spits out so many "What?"s in rapid succession that his face (and his entire head for that matter) turns visibly red with the strain. Never let it be said that Austin didn't put heart and soul into his performances.

Still, however you look at it, it can't be contested that this was an over the top sell of a phrase which the fans mercifully latched on, and still use even today. Well, this is where is started folks, a very strange idea in the head of a very perturbed Stone Cold Steve Austin.
