Stone Cold Steve Austin saw eight years of hard work pay off when he defeated Shawn Michaels for the World Wrestling Federation Championship at WrestleMania XIV. Some peers say the man is a suicide machine with lack of regard for authority and rules--and little hesitation in assaulting Mr. McMahon. His no fear attitude may have hurt him when he agreed to face Kane in a First Blood Match for the Federation Title at the King of the Ring. He put himself in a position to lose the title without being pinned or submitting, and that is exactly what happened. Ever resilient, the Rattlesnake challenged the seven-foot monster to a rematch the following night and regained the belt! Due to his lack of conformity with Mr. McMahon's rules, Stone Cold will likely go down as the only champion in history to be arrested by the Federation owner, twice! But you can't deny this superstar is tougher than leather when he steps through the ring ropes. His burning desire to regain the championship is a destiny that motivates his cold heart. He may have lost his belt in Breakdown, but he will, I believe, one day, regain it.Without a doubt, there are still plenty of unwritten chapters on Whoop-Ass in the book of Austin 3:16!
