WWF RAW MAGAZINE: OCTOBER 1998

is Austin the Greatest of all time?

by Kevin Kelly

FOR EVERY man who has won the World Wrestling Federation Championship, there should be virtual reverence. There is no greater pinnacle in the industry of professional wrestling, sports-entertainment or whatever you want to call it. From Buddy Rogers to Kane, no champion’s reign should be taken for granted. They’ve done what few others can ever claim. They were World Wrestling Federation Champions. But of all the greats who have held the title, who’s the best of them all?

I know that this is going to be a subject of debate and perhaps strong opposition in the “Letters to the Editor” department… but that’s fine. Any discussion of “who is the best?” at anything is purely speculative, unless those being compared meet face to face. But speculation has merit if it’s backed up with fact.

I’ve shortened the list of all-time greats to the six champions many consider to have had the most impact. The six to be considered are Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin. All six are certain first-ballot Hall of Famers who have held the title on more than one occasion and were with the title than without. The obvious omission is the Undertaker, but he would still be the Phenom whether he had ever won the Federation Championship or not.

To me, Bruno and Backland were identical. Both were mirror images who reflected the times, but as wrestlers go neither was perfect. Both fought a slew of enemies from foreign lands and persevered despite evil managers conjuring up obstacles and new foes along the way. Both had one fatal flaw, however. Sammartino was very one dimensional as far as his attack strategy. Despite his predictable brawling style, he had a flair and he could make everyone in the crowd feel his pain. Backlund was just the opposite. Blessed with technical genius, the Minnesota native was cursed with a rigid personality.

In 1984, the regional promotion grew worldwide and Hulk Hogan was the centerpiece, Himself a symbol of the wretched excess that was the decade of the 80s, Hogan was by far the worst wrestler ever to be crowned Federation Champion. However, he had a multitude of charisma and “Hulkamania” was the rallying point with his act and unfortunately, whether it was his fault or the company’s, his character never evolved. Despite his faults, Hulk Hogan’s impact was so strong that some casual fans still think he’s Federation Champion, despite the fact that he is many years removed from his last reign.

From there, champions with impact were neither good or bad, but shades of grey. Bret Hart wore the Federation Championship belt on five separate occasions, but perhaps he is best remembered for turning against his fans before leaving the company in disgrace in late 1997. The “Excellence of Execution” was globally the most popular champion ever, but perhaps never shook off the loss he suffered in the Ironman match at WrestleMania XII.

[(From left to right) Bret Hart was never able to shake off his loss to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII. During his reign, Shawn went from living his “boyhood dream” to telling fans to “Suck it!” By far the worst wrestler to be crowned champion, Hulk Hogan had the charisma to make him a marketing success at the time.]

The man Hart lost to began his championship era by talking about his “boyhood dream.” By the end of his third reign, Shawn Michaels was telling people to “Suck it!” HBK certainly evolved while wearing the gold and always elicited a very strong emotional response from the crowd–be it positive or negative. Shawn didn’t care whether you liked him–he just wanted you to care. Michaels knew he was the man and his “Kliq���, which evolved into D-Generation X, certainly had a prominent role in behind-the-scenes politics as well. Just as with the fans, he didn’t care whether the office liked him or not–as long as they did things his way.

That brings us to Stone Cold Steve Austin, who has gained the most recognition as Federation Champion since Hulk Hogan. Whether it’s the cover of TV Guide, a plethora of appearances on MTV or half-time at the Super Bowl… wherever you go, you see Stone Cold Steve Austin. As a matter of fact, Austin has sold more merchandise than any other Federation Champion–past, present and, most likely, future. He is the closest thing to a cultural phenomenon since Elvis Presly. But unlike every other champion on this list, the King–who was disliked by older Americans–there is one thing that separates Stone Cold Steve Austin and, in my opinion, raises him slightly above the rest.

Quite simply, it’s universal appeal. Every former champ had a segment of the fans who didn’t care much for him. In some areas of the South, Hulk Hogan would be booed out of the arenas. In more hardcore climates, the “Sexy Boy” was jeered. In fact, many blame Shawn’s loss of the Federation Title at the 1996 Survivor Series on the New York fans for getting on him so badly. Bret Hart was always more popular in foreign countries than in the United States. Both Sammartino and Backlund were regional champions, despite their long reigns at the top of the Federation.

Put your finger anywhere on the map and that part of the world loves Stone Cold Steve Austin. His cross-cultural appeal, I think, can be attributed to his fundamental work ethic, his defiance of authority and the belief that he is a true tough guy. In the 1950s, John Wayne movies were popular all over the globe, despite cultural and linguistic differences. Why? He killed bad guys and didn’t take crap from anybody. You don’t need to understand English to get that.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin’s popularity can be attributed to his cross-cultural appeal, his defiance of authority (e.g., stunning the owner!) and the complete honesty with which his character is presented.]

Stone Cold Steve Austin has never changed. He has, does and always will flip middle fingers at the crowd and his boss. His language is offensive to the more refined and his rampant “adult beverage” consumption makes network executives and the Federation’s owner cringe. Perhaps it’s the complete honesty with which his character is presented that contributes to his appeal. Looking back, it’s hard to imagine us thinking that all former champions on this list were entirely good. That outdated, naive way of thinking went out the window when Austin 3:!6 opened up his first can of whoop-ass.

Certainly those omitted from this list of all-time greatest are going to be topic of controversy and debate. But I doubt that anyone will deny the impact Stone Cold Steve Austin has had. He is the greatest Federation Champion of all time, in my opinion. Does the man who beats the man become the next “greatest”? Perhaps. He just better find a way to command the respect and admiration of everybody who pays to see him.

lewis hamilton is interviewed on media day [part 2], miami, florida, u.s. - may 4, 2023 (transcription under the cut)

Interviewer: "As an athlete who is obviously motivated by competition, or constantly pushing yourself to the next level, is there another event, sport... Like sometimes we hear Jimmie Johnson ran the Boston Marathon. Is there something like that, that you would like to do sometime?" Lewis: "In terms of like a marathon, or..." Interviewer: "Or a sporting event. Something else that would push your body to a different extreme." Lewis: "Yeah, I'd love to do an Ironman one day. I wanna climb Mount Everest. What else? I've tried MotoGP. I'd love to get out in a Nascar again. I enjoyed that last time. I'd love to cross over and do some training with... Now I'm part of the Broncos. I'd love to go and train with the squad there. And yeah, I think always tapping into something new. I do muay thai, boxing, for example, or I skydive, I surf. I like just mixing it up. I play squash. I like to do different things, just 'cause otherwise it's boring if you're just in the gym the whole time. And then just having a competition with your friends, in the gym or whether it's doing one of the other sports, I think is always healthy for the mind." Interviewer: "How does it help you stay motivated in your day job?" Lewis: "Doing all these other things?" Interviewer: "Doing the other things. How does it help stay motivated when you're in the car?" Lewis: "I don't really lack motivation in the car, so that's just... I'm super competitive, and yeah, it's in my DNA, so that's not an issue. I think it's being able to detach from... If you don't have these other things and you're just tunnel vision focused on one thing, you just miss so many other great things that are happening in the world, and I think it's so important to try and find a balance between work life, and your social life, and family, and so if you can click that right balance, then you're happier in your job and you're able to excel more, and so I try to arrive at my job less stressed, as hard as that is with everything we all go through, but yeah, I always make sure I take time for me." Interviewer: "So for so many years, you were the one being chased. Now that, in a lot of ways, you're doing the chasing, or the team is doing the chasing, has it impacted your perspective on your years of domination?" Lewis: "Not really. I think I lived in a time where... First two years I was competing, I nearly won the championship in my first year. In 2007 I lost it by one point. I won it by one point in my second year, then I went through a drought of bad cars, poor performances, reliability issues, for almost six years. In that time Red Bull dominated for four of those years, and basically what happens is that if you don't have the car, your perspective shifts a little bit, your focus shifts a little bit, into what you've gotta work on. Then I joined this team and everyone here-everyone in the world, basically-that was commenting on my decision said it was the worst decision I could have ever made, my career's over. But I knew what was right for me, and I truly believed in this team, as I still do today, that they had the right mentality. I think I had the good... Now, it's always good and well to say you had the foresight, but I knew this team was gonna go somewhere and I knew that I could do something with them, and we won eight team-wide titles. We've had two difficult years, and I think it's actually been... You can't always win, and I think it's been really great for us, as a team, to experience this tough time. It's meant we've had to pull together. We've had this struggle. People have had difficult times. We've all lifted each other up, and we arrive here, I think, today... Whilst we've won these championships in the past, I think, through this struggle, we've learned the most."

TK might be short in stature but he is huge in personality. Fiercely competitive on and off the track, he is also friends with just about everyone. He’s like a favorite crazy uncle, a mischievous prankster yet willing to dispense the wisdom gathered from decades of racing to anyone who needs it. More fit than men more than half his age, he is an avid sportsman, competing in Ironman competitions, marathons and biking competitions. (Don’t touch his bike. Ever. Ask Dario about that.) He also is a big Sim racer, with his own line of Sim rigs, and a ‘hidden’ lair in his house containing two top of the line rigs.

A member of the Indycar ‘Brat pack’ of the late 1990’s. Tony Kanaan, Dario Franchitti, Max Papis and Greg Moore. Their off track antics were legendary as were their results on the track. TK is the last of that group still racing, with Greg Moore lost in 1999, and Dario and Max long since retired. The 2023 Indy 500 is his last ride.

TK and Dario went on to form a new pack of sorts with Bryan Herta, Scott Dixon, and Dan Wheldon, later adding Marco Andretti as a sort of little brother.
