12 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments That Were Genuinely Savage

It's true that The Rattlesnake gave as good as he got during the entirety of this feud, but still... There can't be a list of Steve Austin Savagery without mentioning this match.

The 3 Stages of Hell at No Way Out 2001 delivered on its promise. Austin and Triple H single-handedly decimated each other in a gruelling battle of blood which near enough topped every other violent match in WWE history. It ended with them lying in a dead heap on top of one another. To add insult, some jackass from the crowd threw a can at Steve's head.

In this environment, Stone Cold was in his element. The chairs, the announcement table, and the steel mesh were all used in monstrous excess. Triple H's assaults on Austin were calculated and nasty, but Austin's assaults on Triple H were ravenous and sadistic. Every chair shot was numerous, every head-scrape to the cage was through gritted teeth, and that's before we get to the barb wire 2x4 segment.

Austin fully destroyed Triple H with a level of intensity rarely re-captured in wrestling kayfabe since.
