• Old School WWF Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WWF Legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (Real name: Steven James Williams) celebrates his 54th birthday today.
He joined Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling in 1991 as “Stunning” Steve Austin and stayed with the promotion till he was fired by WCW president Eric Bischoff in 1995.
After a short stint in Paul Heyman’s Extreme championship Wrestling, Austin joined the World Wrestling Federation in late 1995 as ‘The Ringmaster’, managed by WWF Legend “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase and given the Million Dollar Championship.
He soon became known as “Stone Cold” and Dibiase left for WCW, which gave Austin a chance to talk and do promos himself, which leveled the way to the famous “Austin 3:16” promo during the coronation ceremony, after he won the King of the Ring 1996 tournament.
A Legend was born and Austin went on the have legendary battles with Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Shawn Michaels and many others, winning the WWF World Title in the process, but nothing made him more famous than the legendary feud against the evil heel promoter Mr. McMahon, which arguably played a major part in the WWF winning back the weekly TV-Rating war from WCW, after losing for 83 weeks in a row.
While the official numbers show without a shadow of a doubt, that Hulk Hogan was the single greatest long-term draw in professional wrestling history, Steve Austin was clearly by far the biggest short-term draw (most drawing power in just a couple of years) of all time.
In 2009, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his long-time rival, WWF/E promoter Vince McMahon.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STONE COLD!
• RAW Star Posts Cryptic Messages – Says Goodbye
RAW Superstar Bray Wyatt, who hasn’t been seen on WWE programming for a while now, posted some cryptic tweets in which he said “goodbye”.
You can check them out below:
I’m not a God, I never was. I’m sorry I said it, I was wrong. I know the true God now and all his power. I feel that I am forgiven for all the wickedness I have caused. My soul is clean now. My mind is clear. I see what I did wrong, what was done to me. They took it all.
— Bray Wyatt (@WWEBrayWyatt) December 18, 2018
I have so many things to fix. I realize that I was sick. My mind doesn’t work like other people’s, it gets lost and attached to ideals that are unrealistic and poisonous. My next journey will be to find my true calling.
This is goodbye.
— Bray Wyatt (@WWEBrayWyatt) December 18, 2018
To all that have loved and supported us we say thank you.
And ask that you have faith in us.
I was put on this Earth to fix it, to change it.
And I will not die until this is so.
Goodbye my brothers and sisters.
The journey is far from over.

The last WWE event that Wyatt worked was Starrcade 2018 Live Event on November 24, 2018.
