was steve austin called steve austin in 92? didnt he go by stunning austin or something? Also, I love that Bo Dallas won the NXT belt, im sure 3mb will let him join...

 

[Deezy]

Steve Austin was his name since his debut, he went by Stunning since USWA and lost it after he was fired from WCW.

 

[Twitchy]

I see, i must be thinking about "Stone Cold" being added later on.

 

[Deezy]

Yeah, Stone Cold became his official gimmick name after he lost that Strap Match with Savio Vega in 96.

I remember my cousin called & told me figured he was fucking around.
