https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcPC3GQ2cX8 The Title Change: Steve Austin was set to continue his incredible feud with Ricky Steamboat over the United States Title at Fall Brawl 94. Unfortunately, Steamboat recently suffered a legitimate back injury that would ultimately end his in-ring career and couldnt wrestle the match that night. Nick Bochwinkel (storyline commissioner in charge of WCW at that time) then had Steamboat surrender the title to Austin in the middle of the ring as Austin instantly become the new champion. Austin was really beginning to come into his own as a worker around this time and he seemed poised to have his second U.S. title reign top his stellar eight month initial run with the belt. The Aftermath: Oh boy...what happens next about made every true wrestling fan almost cry. Hacksaw Jim Duggan (and noted Hulk Hogan crony) emerges from the locker room to instantly challenge Austin for the belt. Austin argues with Bockwinkel. Hacksaw hits Austin with a back body drop. (yes, a back body drop) Hacksaw pins Austin for the title in 30 seconds. Austins credibility is instantly destroyed. Fade to black. Austin would never regain the belt from Duggan and would get mired in WCWs midcard until an injury forced his release from the company. Luckily, he seemed to find a little success in his next stop for the WWE.
