It's perhaps the most famous finishing move in the history of the business, and it was adopted by the most popular Superstar we've ever seen. But Stone Cold Steve Austin wasn't dropping everyone with a 'Stunner' as soon as he walked in the WWE doors.

Having been fired from WCW and given a platform in ECW by Paul Heyman, Austin was eventually brought in to the big league as 'The Ringmaster' - and placed alongside Ted DiBiase as his new 'Million Dollar Champion'. With that moniker and DiBiase as his mouth-piece, Austin adopted the 'Million Dollar Dream' for near enough the first year of his tenure.

He hated it, by the way.

But after DiBiase fleed to go to Atlanta, Austin took the ball and ran with it - alone. He began using the 'Stone Cold Stunner' and added 'Stone Cold' as a prefix to his name, and we all know exactly how that went.
