Thank you, England for that.
Holy fuck. I remember when I was a kid, an old buddy of mine told me this exact story on how Austin got his name, and I looked at him like he was a moron, he was/is a known spoofer, anyway, fuck, 15 years later and I finally find out he was telling the truth.

The 'Texas Rattlesnake' was also Clyde Barrow of Bonnie and Clyde's nickname in the press of the day.

I did not know for a while that this stone cold Steve austin was the same man as stunning Steve austin. I grew up watching the wrestling on tv in the south the near. I didn't start watching the wwf until I was visiting family in New your in the 90s.
Good lord, imagine JR shouting BAH GAWD A CHILLY MCFREEZE STUNNER every time Steve Austin executes an opponent
His voice is epic lol.
i dont say this at all...but i actually enjoyed this interview stone cold seemed very comfortable
I love him. my fav
hahashhh lovely lovely lovely!...stone cold steve austin! my favourite wrestler!
Dutch Mantel/Zeb Colter gave him Steve Austin in Memphis in 89 or 90. He was using his real name of Steve Williams but Dutch was booking in Memphis then & said there was already a Steve Williams as in "Dr Death Steve Williams"

Check out Tough Enough contestant AJ Kirsch on Larry King Now! He talks about his experience on Tough Enough, working with Steve Austin, and the proudest moment of his career to date.

I remember Stone Cold looking built and "husky" back in the day! I would go so far as to bet my own money, that if he is doing DDPYOGA now, (which I think he is) he is ripped!
My real name is Austin my dad was a Big fan of WWF and his favorite was stone cold Steve Austin and it was Monday night raw and stone cold was doing a promo with the rock and they.had the tv on in the room and my mom and dad ever came up with a name yet then my dad said Austin. Then he said Dwayne from the rock and my dad name is Dwayne so my name is Austin Dwayne...... can't tell u my last name

Vince Described The Ringmaster as Stone Cold quite a few times befour the name change.
Cool
Steves wife: Drink ya tea before it gets stone cold Steve: OOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!! Steves wife: What? what? what? Steve: AND AGAIN!!!! AAAAHHHHH
Stone Cold has more charisma in his little finger than most of WWE's "entertainer" of today have in their whole body.
Britain won wars on tea! :D
you can win so many bets with this story. Here's how, go to a bar and let everyone talk about how he got his name, make a bet that you know because I guarantee you not a lot of people watch this, boom there you go money
Wow
Thanks to Jeannie is the reason why we were privileged to having Stone Cold and that's the bottom line

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."

Clyde Barrow from Bonnie & Clyde was known as "The Texas Rattlesnake". Jim Ross probably saw a Bonnie & Clyde special one day and decided to use it.
