Stone Cold The crowd roars with a deafening volume that could awaken the dead from their eternal slumber. He explodes through the doors, the crowd's cheers raise to an even higher decibel, as he sprits up to the ring it appears the only thing running through his veins is pure adrenaline, his muscles bulge as he slides into the ring. He rises to he feet, the crowd is still ecstatic, as he lifts his extended middle finger into the air as he screams, "Give me a HELL YEAH!", and the crowd, including
legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold, for short, has been in the wrestling industry since the 1990’s. Back in the 1990’s, the wrestling industry was called WWF which stands for world wrestling federation. During the attitude era, Stone Cold’s popularity rose with the WWF universe. From T-shirts to sweatpants with his name on them, Stone Cold Steve Austin officially became the founder of the attitude era. Who exactly is Stone Cold Steve Austin? – Steve Anderson, also known as Stone cold, was born
Pro-Wrestling I want to discuss how the business of pro wrestling is viewed in today's society, and how wrestling has reached such widespread notoriety. I mean, honestly. Let's face it. The vast majority of the American population looks down upon this form of sports entertainment. As a whole, professional wrestling fans are thought to be toothless, sweaty, smelly rednecks with low IQ's, low morals, violent streaks, and a thirst for blood. Stereotypes of this magnitude are partially to
wrestler and to the whole WWF world. If this isn’t real you wouldn’t know what was. Another example of reality is when Stone Cold Steve Austin was being suplexed (a professional wrestling move when your opponent lifts you in the air and slams you into the mat), his opponent landed Austin wrong on the mat. This resulted in a career ending surgery for Steve Austin. One thing that wrestling has done over the past couple of years is raised media uproar pertaining to violence at home between children
Issues Professional Wrestling When some people hear the word wrestling they think of “2 points takedown” or headgear and singlets. But most people think of the WWF, WCW, NWO, and the WolfPac. They think of names such as Hollywood Hogan, Sting, Stone Cold, Diamond Dallas Page, and Golberg. If you have been alive in today’s TV culture, you have undoubtedly heard these names. Although professional wrestling has been enjoying newfound success lately, it is not a new sport by any means. Professional
Wrestlemania 20 is one of the greatest Wrestlemania's ever in my opinion, outside of a few lackluster matches. The atmosphere, and the electricity that was going on, amazed me. The Undertaker's return is chilling, and I loved the controversial crowd, even if they were dead for a few of the stuff, that they shouldn't have been. Every 10 years, Wrestlemania emanates from The Garden, so this was really special. There were so many great moments. Between Beniot's amazing title win, and Trish's shocking
Almost every person who have a liking to reading enjoyable books, read them from first- person point of view. Usually, what authors do is that when they write a novel from that point of view of a specific character, they want the reader to relate to that character and their emotions; this is where identity comes in. Identity is a state of mind in which someone recognizes who they really are and how they define or see themselves as a being (Study Mode). This is exactly what the author is trying to
Andrew Tucker was a young brave man in any normal circumstance. After all he had been through however, he was a very sadden man. He was overly exhausted, heartbroken and not sure where to go or what to do. He was in a strange place on a heavy hearted mission. He did not want to be where he was, but sadly he knew he had no choice. So he reluctantly pushed on. Laughter and cheer filled the air as the sun started to set that hot humid summer day. Andrew looked for a place to just rest. People walked
“But from the moment he knows, his tragedy begins.” Meursault is not unlike Sisyphus. In the novel, The Stranger, by Albert Camus, we watch this character change from a carefree man who loves being alive and free to a man who is imprisoned for a meaningless murder he commits but who eventually finds happiness in his fate. During the first half of the novel, we see many examples of Meursault’s freedom and how he exercises it. He does what he wants, when he wants to with no regard to how he affects
On the Labor Day edition of the Stone Cold Podcast live in Baltimore, Maryland, Stone Cold Steve Austin sits down with the legendary team of Edge and Christian exclusively on the WWE Network. Before getting into the tough questions, the three superstars caught up with each other. Stone Cold would ask them about where they were at since retirement. Edge and Christian reveal that they had daughters only six weeks apart. Edge talks about residing in North Carolina and Christian talks about residing

Today I am taking a break from the series of articles I usually write, to bring you a subject I have thought about for a long time. I only started paying attention to wrestling in my teen years, so the "Attitude Era" was what I considered wrestling. I won't go into what made the era special, because that would be insulting to your intelligence, everyone knows what made the era successful, and why some fans still pine for it. Needless to say, it was "cool", it suited the times, and it broke the mold
The show is a fantasy, set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. Right off the back kids may be attracted by the prehistoric animals especially the dinosaurs. However, the a main ingredient that makes the show pop, is its’ violent comedy. A prime example would be one of the characters named
Championship Wrestling, fathered a viable foe to the WWE. During its peak, WCW was outdrawing the WWE at house shows and conquering them every week in the Monday Night War ratings. However, as the 90's closed, so did WCW. Spear-headed by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock, the WWE once again triumphed. In 2002, former WCW Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett, alongside his father, long time promoter Jerry Jarrett, the two started Total Nonstop Action. Throughout its rocky tenure, TNA went through
His stardom later paved the way for other WWE icons the following years such as The Rock, Kane, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and others. He was born as Terry Gene Bollea on August 11, 1953 in Augusta, Georgia.

Stereotyping - I Was a Teenage Trouble-Maker The time was the fall of 2000. It was my senior year, and we were in our fourth hour home economics class. My best friend and I were about to finish up our two-day presentation on how to bake and ice a cake. Now, with the class and the teacher watching intently, we proceeded to ice the two layer chocolate cake with our bare hands. The entire class broke out with uncontrollable laughter; needless to say our teacher was fuming. Well, to make matters
today the very first African American president, President Barack Obama. The culture is now more politically correct on what is acceptable and what isn 't. There is a scene in the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard that includes Guard Dunham ( Stone Cold Steve Austin) and prisoner Megget (Nelly). The "N" word was used towards this prisoner a few times, but this was the only time in the movie it was used. This is obviously not okay, but compared to the 1970 's film, this was a huge change. The use of that
When Kane made his WWE debut on October 5th, 1997, he cost his kayfabe half-brother, The Undertaker, the very first Hell in a Cell match, much to the shock of the dirt sheetless crowd. Glenn Jacobs, the man beneath Kane’s mask, had portrayed multiple characters in the World Wrestling Federation in the lead up to that fall pay-per-view - including Isaac Yankem, DDS and Fake Diesel - but he really hit on something special as the gigantic, temporarily mute pyromaniac. Over the next couple of years
