But seriously, the Attitude Era was the golden age of WWE, or WWF back then. We have Stone Cold Steve Austin defying and feuding with his very own boss! While you guys may say its all staged bullshit, ask yourself this: will you ever, ever dare to stand up to your boss for mistreating you? I don't think so. Unfortunately, most of us will probably suffer in silence for the sake of our paychecks. So much for human dignity eh?
In a sense, Stone Cold Steve Austin was a hero to wrestling fans back then. Just like Spiderman and Superman and the rest of the mans, he stood up to to the bad guys and made life hell for them, as much as they did the same to him. His storyline provided a conduit for us to taste an impossible victory; that of unleashing all your discontentment (and hatred, for some) unto your bosses, making them pay for everything they did to you.
One difference between Stone Cold and the rest of the superheroes though, is that he didn't stood up to Vince McMahon in the name of justice. He did so just because he FUCKING FEELS LIKE IT!
When not putting down his boss, Stone Cold goes around disrespecting anybody he doesn't like, drinking beer like nobody's business, raising hell wherever he goes and Stonecold Stunning people for fun - basically just doing anything and everything that is WRONG! Well, we can't blame him. He was the Undisputed WWF Champion then.
fuck fear, drink beer!
I will always remember that "kong" sound.
