And, I'm about to ask: Which DVD? The Stone Cold Truth?

The latest one that they released in 2011 titled "And That's The Bottom Line On The Most Popular Superstar Of All Time."

I don't know if you remember, but the following night, I remember "Austin 3:16" chants. But, yeah, you're right. I've been saying bolded ever since the response to @Jacob Fox, but nooo. He wasn't having it. I even used John Cena as an example because STILL to this day, he has boos from the crowd. That means there are some people who do not believe in the John Cena legend.

Funny because a few people who were actually there that night have given me their own testimonies that there were hardly any Austin 3:16 signs or Austin chants the next night on Raw at all, despite the WWE's own version of revisionist history where they pretend that Austin became instantly popular overnight or something. And I'm curious what you think John Cena has to do with anything. He was super over and won his first world title before the live crowds began shitting on him. His situation is a rather unique one, and can't really be accurately compared to anyone else's.

Hm. Thanks for the info. I'll take a look into that DVD. Too bad it's not on the WWE Network, or I'd go and watch it now while my subscription is active.

I watched the birth of the catchphrase at the King of the Ring, as Roberts was leaving. I'm hearing LOUD. Screaming. Cheering, customers in there. [I watched it on WWE Network, so sue me.] It's easy to think that the very next night is when people start putting up Austin 3:16 posters. Which did happen, but not as widespread as the night after Wrestlemania 13 or 14. It was not an overnight thing, but it seemed like the fanbase started to "creep in" as in, the Austin 3:16 catchphrase started to catch on after King of the Ring.

Austin was over during King of the Ring, but you won't begin to see the "results" until a few Monday Nights or Wrestlemania 13. Of course it won't be overnight! I'm not stupid.

The fact that I brought up John Cena makes you miss the mark completely, and that's what frustrating me about you and everyone else in this thread. John Cena was over, but he couldn't get people who "boo" him to stop. I'm thinking that's the point by Vince, though. Austin has both been over, and has the heel-ish chants. That's why you and everyone else have those objections, because you seem to think that Austin was heel just because that's how he debuted. He was a career heel because WCW didn't know what the fuck to do with him. They [WWE's Heyman and others] even said so in a few interviews about Austin on the WWE Network. WCW at the time were looking for marketable people, Austin as the "blonde" didn't have that spark that he did in WWE as Stone Cold Steve Austin. The whole point of "Stone Cold Steve Austin" is to get Steve Williams 'over' to the WWE fanbase, but he was a career heel, so it will take time for Austin to prove to WWE fans that he has what it takes to be one of the greats. He proved himself at King of the Ring, but like John Cena, he can't shake off that heel-ish boos/chants. That was, until Wrestlemania 13. It reached the crescendo at Wrestlemania 14, then the results were visible during the very next night, when Mchanon introduced the new champion as Austin.

That's how I see this. But, hey, you don't respect my opinion.. Nobody does. *shrugs* I'm unknown to you, so whatever.

However, the evidence is there if you look back on the WWE Network.
