    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    Maybe he took offence to Austin beating his wife, who happened to manage Jarrett.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    Jarrett was the first Euro-Continental champ, ie holding both European and Intercontinental titles at the same time. D'lo was second to do this, and Angle was third and last (although billed as first, wrongly). Anyway as for the rest, Keith already covered it. Whether Jarrett was a talentless...

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    Well "the story goes" Jarrett was in line for a main event run in late '99, (he was the first ever Euro-Continental champ and getting a lot of airtime) but Austin didnt just turn it down and say he wasnt doing the job for him, he flat out refused to even work a program with him. As it went...

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    Thats more paranoia that actual truth though. Putting over another guy doesnt equate to them 'taking your spot', Orton is proof of this the past yr, Cody & Barrett aren't above him in the pecking order but were helped by the wins against him. Austin wouldn't of dropped cred if he'd laid for...

    Not to mention Kane's been on fire before after losing an Inferno match to Taker. So, erm, yeah.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    That's a solid counter argument you've provided there McHenry. Shitttt, with posts like that I rescind my OP, you've totally convinced me Austin isnt selfish at all.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    He lost consecutive matches to him and put him over. I don't see why I wouldn't mention that in a discussion about Hogan putting people over. When did Austin ever put over a mid-carder? Good luck finding examples, there aren't any. The guy flat out refused to lose to Jarrett and Lesnar...

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    Hogan didn't have a problem with losing a short squash to Lesnar on Smackdown. Whether its a good creative decision isn't for him to decide anyway, he wasn't on the booking committee and was on the way out as a full-time wrestler. At that point he wasn't in any meaningful program on TV either...

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    Lets put into context the differences here though. Hogan was in an era of larger than life characters, and one predominantly protecting kayfabe. As the biggest star in the business, it wouldn't particularly make sense for the 'superman' like mega star to be losing a lot of matches. Consider the...

    Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Most Selfish Wrestler Of All Time

    You might know a guy called Hulk Hogan. He gets an extremely bad rep from the IWC for being a selfish, self-promoting jackass who ruined wrestling. This also applies to one Hunter Hearst Helmsley too. But why not Stone Cold? Consider the following: Hogan (clean jobs done after...
