Mini-Steve Austin Bio & Tidbits Real Name: Steve Williams Former identities, names, nicknames: "Stunning" Steve Austin(WCW, 1990-1995), Steve Austin(ECW, 1995), The Ringmaster(WWF, 1995- 1996), "Stone Cold" Steve Austin(WWF, 1996-Current) Major Titles Held: WCW Tag Title with Brian Pillman, WCW TV Title(2), WCW US Title(2), WWF Tag Title(2) with Shawn Michaels, Dude Love, and Undertaker, WWF Intercontanental Title(2), WWF World Title(4) Former Ring Escorts: Buddy Lee Parker(WCW, 1991-1995), "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase(1995-1996) Austin was trained by Chris Adams, and made his first big organization debut in WCW in 1990 with Buddy Lee Parker as his manager. He won the WCW TV Title from Bobby Eaton on June 3, 1991 and held it for just under 11 months before losing to Barry Windham on April 27, 1992. Austin regained the belt from Windham about a month later on May 23, 1992 and held onto it for about 3 months until he lost it to Ricky Steamboat on September 2, 1992. Austin was then on the rise in WCW, he won the tag titles with the late, Brian Pillman. They were billed "The Hollywood Blonds." Austin's single career was on the rise as well. He won the US Title from Dustin Rhodes at Starrcade '93 and held onto the belt for 8 months until losing it to Ricky Steamboat on August 24, 1994. Steamboat was stripped of the belt and it was awarded back to Austin on September 18, 1994 when Steamboat was unable to defend the belt due to injury, but Austin lost the strap to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan that same, very night. After the loss Austin's career started to dwindle, then WCW Vice President, Eric Bishoff wanted Austin to get a new gimmick, Austin refused and was fired from WCW in 1995. Austin then made a brief sting in ECW in 1995 for a few months, but had a huge impact. He lost a 4-man ECW title match, and had a couple of memorable battles with the Sandman, during this time he was intervied with Pro Wrestling Illustrated and said he'd never go to WWF and that he was very happy in ECW, but a month later Austin signed with the WWF in December 1995. Austin debuted on a December 1995 episode of RAW and was labeled "The Ringmaster" and had Ted Dibiase as his manager. Everybody thought that Austin was gonna win the 1996 Royal Rumble in January, but was eliminated in the final minutes by Fatu(now better known as Rakishi Fatu). In March Austin changed his name from Ringmaster to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and was involved in a stellar feud with Savio Vega. Vega caused Austin his first WWF pin loss on an episode of WWF Superstars, after a sneak up rollup. Austin made his Wrestlemania debut at WM 12 and defeated Savio Vega with his old finisher, The Million Dollar Dream. Austin lost against Vega at the May 1996 PPV, In Your House: Beware of Dog 2 in a Carribean Strap Match, with the stipulation that if Austin loss, Dibiase would leave the WWF. So Austin was now on his own and his status rised in the WWF. A month later he won the 1996 King of the Ring by beating Jake Roberts in the finals. He won the 1997 Royal Rumble, Austin got eliminated earlier, but the refs didn't see it, and Austin ran back in and eliminated Bret Hart to win it. At the next PPV, IN Your House: Final Four, Austin was in a 4-Man Battle Royal between Vader, Undertaker, and Bret Hart where the vacant World Belt was at stakes. Austin was the first to be eliminated in his first PPV main event. Austin won the tag belts with Shawn Michaels from Owen Hart and the British Bulldog in May 1997, but Shawn left the team and Dude Love took his spot. At Summerslam '97 Austin wrestled Owen for the IC belt, Austin won the match and the belt, but Austin injured his neck, and was stripped of the belt. Austin won the belt back from Owen at that year's Survivor Series. Austin forfeited the belt to Rocky Maivia a month later after refusing to fight him, but Austin gave Rocky a Stunner, and stole the IC belt, and the next week on RAW tossed the IC belt in a river. Austin then put his focus back on the World Belt, and won the Royal Rumble again in 1998, he earned a title shot and won the World Belt from Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 14. You'd think that after a great buildup that Austin would hold the belt for a pretty long time, right?, but Austin only held onto the strap for 3 months until he lost the belt to Kane at King of the Ring, Austin won the belt back the next night on RAW and held it for another 3 months, during that time he also had a half month tag title reign with the Undertaker in July. Austin was on a quest to get the World Belt back, he was in 13-man one night world title tournament at the Survivor Series, he won the first round by DQ against the Big Boss Man, his second round opponent was suppose to be the winner of the X-Pac, Steven Regal match, but that ended up in a double countout and Austin got a bye into the semi-finals, but lost against Mankind after Sgt. Slaughter nailed him with a chair. Austin was the runner-up of the 1999 Royal Rumble after he lost to Vince McMahon, but the next day on RAW Vince waived his rights of winning the Royal to earn a title shot and therefore the runner-up earned a title shot at WM 15. So Austin got the title shot and won the belt from Rocky Maivia at WM 15, he lost the strap to the Undertaker at Over the Edge in May, and regained it at RAW a month later in June, but lost it to Mankind in a triple threat match between Mankind and Hunter Hearst Helmsley at Summerslam. Austin had one more title shot against Helmsley at the October No Mercy, but Austin lost and had another title shot a month later at Survivor Series, but Austin was hit by a car that night and injured his neck. That was the last we saw of Austin on WWF TV, but he'll probably be back soon and will more than likely win back the WWF gold. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ III.
