Stone Cold Steve Austin

Steve Austin

He started his career in WCW (World Championship Wrestling) as Stunning Steve Austin. His career was lifted off with such professional wrestling greats as Arn Anderson and Ric Flair. I think he was one of the four horsemen but I'm not so sure.

However, he wasn't taken seriously there! It was at WCW that Austin developed a friendship with Brian Pillman (also know as 'Flying Brian') and both signed up with WWF at almost the same time. Even though Austin was a strong contender for the Television Champion belt in WCW he left for ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) because he felt that the 'challenges' of wrestling were missing! He spent 5 years at WCW before finally leaving for the ECW.
