8 Time-Bending Wrestling Facts That Will Melt Your Brain
1. Becky Lynch's 'The Man' Outlives 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Becky Lynch becoming 'The Man' is one of the most game-changing transformations in WWE history. Becky has always been able to go in the ring, and she was undoubtedly one of the leaders of the women's revolution. The Irish superstar and her NXT graduation class lit a fire in WWE that is yet to stop rising. Nevertheless, Lynch's injection of attitude is so seismic that it has often been compared to Steve Austin transforming into 'Stone Cold'.
What is crazy to consider is that the length of time from Becky Lynch adopting 'The Man' persona to today is longer than the entire run of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. This may feel a little blurry because Lynch obviously took a chunk of time off to give birth to her daughter, but it still feels wild as a matter of fact.
Lynch's current persona feels drastically different from 'The Man' era, with her social media posts bordering on the unhinged compared to her amusing takedowns of the likes of Ronda Rousey. Even still, it casts a light on Becky's incredible longevity that more time has elapsed since her big glow-up than the entirety of Steve Austin's run as 'Stone Cold'.
