1. The Attitude Era: The Attitude Era was a period in WWE's history that many wrestling fans have come to refer to as the Golden Age of Professional Wrestling. It was a time when Stonecold Steve Austin dominated the ring and commanded headlines. The key feature of the Attitude Era was its edginess and disregard for traditional wrestling booking. During this time, Stonecold’s entrance music, “The Ringmaster Theme” became one of the most memorable of all time as he strutted his way to the ring with beer cans in hand.
2. Austin 3:16: One of Stonecold Steve Austin's greatest catchphrases was uttered at King of the Ring in 1996. Following his victory over Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Stonecold pointed the finger at a television camera and declared “Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your a**!” It's become one of the most iconic lines in wrestling history and it gave rise to the slogan “What Would Austin Three Sixteen Do?”
3. The Stunner: Stonecold Steve Austin's signature move, the Stunner, has become one of the most iconic signature moves in professional wrestling history. The move involves a wrestler dropping down onto their back as their opponent jumps forward and lands with their head between the wrestler’s legs. Austin would then grab either side of the opponent’s head, slam it down to the mat, and finish with a thud. It was a move that cemented Stonecold's legacy as one of the toughest, baddest superstars the WWF had ever seen.
4. The Corporation: Stonecold Steve Austin was a leader of the Attitude Era and it was often remarked upon how much tougher and more compelling the WWF product was with him at the helm. One of Stonecold's biggest rivals during the Attitude Era was The Corporation, a stable of wrestlers headed by Vince McMahon and his henchmen and devoted to keeping Stonecold down. Their feud went on for years and included some of the most intense and memorable matches of the era.
5. Beer Bashes: Stonecold Steve Austin was known for his aptitude for celebration, particularly his post-match beer bashes. These would take place in the ring, following a triumphant victory for Stonecold. Austin would grab a few cans of beer and proceed to enjoy his well-earned victory with a toast and a few chugs from the brewers' finest. It’s become a tradition for any wrestler that is lucky enough to follow in Stonecold’s footsteps and it is a surefire way to get the crowd hyped.
