Insight with Chris Van Vliet · Stone Cold Steve Austin: Iconic WWE Moments, Worst Stunner, One More Match, CM Punk, Vince McMahon · 6 Jan 2026 podcast

I was respected as a mechanic, you know, coming out of USWA and then going to WCW, you know, a little bureaucratic red tape in WCW.

And, you know, they put me and Brian together and I didn't want that.

And then once they put us together, I loved it.

And then they broke us up and I didn't want that.

And so I was respected as a mechanic, a guy people like to work with because we were going to have good matches, but I wasn't a star.

So it took the change in style to turn into Stone Cold Steve Austin, and it worked.

I think everything that happened was a step for the next thing to happen.

And it was kind of like a momentum thing that finally started catching on and changing.

And I knew you would ask a question similar to this, and I was thinking of the agents that were there when I first came in as a ringmaster, and then I turned into Stone Cold or maybe even before that.

But some of the guys that were really instrumental or helpful to me as I was trying to struggle a little bit when I first got there and then trying to find my way, I had been stunning Steve Austin previously, and I had somewhat of an identity, if not a defined character, at least I knew who I was.

And so, you know, when I went there, I just, I had a physical style and black Jack Lanza, uh, Renee Goulet, uh, dang was Tony.

Tony's last name.

Skipping that.

A couple of those agents, Pat Patterson, kept coming up to me and saying, Steve, you're going to get over because it's going to take you longer to get over because I didn't really have a gimmick at the time.

It's going to take you longer to get over, but when you do, you'll stay over because this is who you are and your style.

And so that ends up being what happened.

I think it was just a culmination of things building and turning out to be that all those things compiled just kept gaining people's interest.

And I started getting over and getting attention and getting the attention of Vince, you know, enough to finally push me.

And, you know, because when I first came in with the ringmaster gimmick, it sucked, you know, and I had nowhere to go with it.

And then the frustration level and coming up with the name, you know, we were, you know, going nowhere quickly.
