Stone Cold Steve Austin is still one of the WWE's most beloved superstars. Austin was a box office smash, generating more revenue and drawing bigger numbers than any superstar before or after his WWF arrival while becoming incredibly popular with wrestling fans. In 2001 however, Austin felt his character needed a change.

Stone Cold turned heel after WrestleMania X7 and he also played a "bad guy" role during the WCW / ECW Invasion. The heel turn wasn't as succesful as Austin hoped, so he turned back into a "good guy" heading into 2002. After refusing to work with Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Austin had a WrestleMania match with Scott Hall and really... this is when the problems began.

Stone Cold Steve Austin wouldn't see eye-to-eye with the WWF / WWE creative team. After being booked to lose to Brock Lesnar in a King of the Ring qualifying match, Steve Austin decided to walk out of the company. The WWE stated that "Austin took his ball and went home" while Steve Austin would begin spiralling downwards after leaving the company.

When Austin said: "I'm not happy with the whole direction this company is going", that was already a future prediction for the fans.

the popularity of the Stone Cold character to this day is proof the character did not need a turn, he could have rode that lightning for as long as his body was gonna let him.

Austin HAS TO have The Rock on the Broken Skull Sessions eventually. They have a lot to discuss.

Scott Hall's stunner sell is probably my favorite.

The attempts to bury Austin after he left felt like an ex who trashed you after a breakup, but they’re doing it to mask their hurt and humiliation over you leaving. WWE is incredibly petty and vindictive when it comes to talent leaving the company.

In "2002" austin was tired with creative , imagine it now worse than ever.

8:22 - I remember how they recreated that segment verbatim in WWE Smackdown Shut Your Mouth's season mode; if your wrestler was on RAW you'd watch it play out, and if you chose Austin you could choose which show you were on yourself! Pretty cool honestly.

I don't trust the info of Bruce Prichard podcast. He's the ultimate Vince yes-man.

Austin was right. He shouldn't have lost to Brock in a qualifying match. Let him lose at the pay per view.

"The Rock considers the WWE his home" That aged well.

Austin needs no introduction he is nothing short of a legend.

Steve's 2002 run always frustrated me he was still clearly the top star in the company at the time, and should have been main eventing every PPV.

Austin's decisions on creative made actual sense unlike the way Hogan's selfish decisions were made
