Stone Cold Steve Austin
Texas wrestling icon
Stone Cold Steve Austin is the ring name of Steve Austin, an American professional wrestler who became one of the most popular performers in wrestling history during the late 1990s.
His persona—a beer-swilling, authority-defying antihero—defined WWE's "Attitude Era." His catchphrase "Austin 3:16" and the Stone Cold Stunner finishing move became cultural touchstones.
Stone Cold alone often suffices as reference: He walked in there like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
