    His birth name was Steve Anderson but his father walked out on his mom. He took his step-dad's name which was Williams and was known as Steve Williams. When he got into wrestling, there already was a "Dr. Death" Steve Williams so the promoter (can't remember who it was) said "Who are you and where are you from?" Steve said "I'm Steve Williams from Austin, Texas" and the promoter said "Okay, you're Steve Austin."
