10 WWE Stars Who BURIED The Writers

1. Steve Austin

This planet and its civilisation is so monumentally f*cked and stupid that we have collectively hurtled to a low point at which we no longer believe the experts. This mentality is so unbelievably dumb, Jesus Christ, and of course it marks the rarest of precedents set by WWE.

Stone Cold Steve Austin exploded the industry as a result of his just awesome, hilarious promo game. Nobody could ever replicate Austin's run, but everybody should take indirect, spiritual inspiration from it.

Steve Austin is the preeminent expert in the field of connecting with the audience as the truest, most balls-out version of himself. He is the template for pro wrestling success.

WWE does not listen to the expert.

Austin has spearheaded a years-long crusade to rid WWE of this b*llocks on his podcast. He constantly makes the salient point that clearly fake scripting undermines an industry that was built on hiding the artifice from the public.

"It's sink, swim, or be left behind," Austin said of competing with his peers to get over back in the day.

When they compete with the writers, most everybody sinks.
