Listen Later

On the latest episode of “Going Ringside With The Local Station” we explore the rise to fame of arguably the most popular professional wrestler in history: “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

We explore his start in the early 90’s in WCW then his move to ECW after famously being fired following an injury. That’s where Austin developed his on-camera persona. Shortly thereafter he gets the call to the World Wrestling Federation and within approximately seven months is crowned “King of the Ring”. That’s where Austin makes his now iconic “Austin 3:16” promo on Jake Roberts and his character is born.
