15 Times Stone Cold Steve Austin's Ego Ran Wild In WWE
6. Calling WWE Creative "P*** Poor"
In the aftermath of the Mania 18 controversy, WWE made the dumb decision to put Austin on the Byte This show. This was always a disaster waiting to happen, as ego-maniac Austin went into business for himself and cut a shoot on how terrible WWE was. Can you imagine John Cena ever doing that? He specifically called creative "p*** poor" and talked about how unhappy he was with his place on the card. Did he sound like a spoiled baby who couldn't deal with the fact his time in the sun was coming to an end? Absolutely. Four years had passed since Austin won his first title at WrestleMania, he should have accepted that the business couldn't always put him in the top slot. To be honest with you, the whole thing sucks. Im not happy with the direction Stone Cold is going and Im not happy with the direction the whole company is going. I think the writing has been pretty substandard," Austin moaned. Vince McMahon responded the next week, stating Austin was "the most demanding of anyone I've ever worked with."
