why didn't steve pass the torch like cena
>>20702037Only we he'd agree to the match was if he went over.
>>20702037Because passing the torch is overrated faggotry that only really exists in the minds of marksNobody wants to see their heroes lose and if you can only reach their level with their explicit canonized stamp of approval you were never on their level to begin with
>>20702037insane how much the camerawork has changed so quickly, this clip is so bad
>>20702037He thought Brock was a geek
>>20702037What torch? Austin isn't the top guy anymore and hasn't been in decades
Austin put no one over. He was a total self mark whereas others actually lost clean to make someone look good and build the business.
>>20702099He jobbed for Becky Lynch
>>20702037Why should he have?Especially to a fat shitter like Kevin Steen?
>>20702037Kevin Owens is a mark and wants to lay down for Austin
>>20702099>Austin put no one overhttps://youtu.be/0oUHthmwpd4Tapped to Angle after 9/11 you retard
>>20702099Everyone Austin worked programs with got more over. He even sold Owen's stunner here great. He wasn't as selfish in the ring as Hogan like that, people don't mean he lost a bunch that's fucking retarded.
Austin put Kevin over by wrestling him after taking a 19 year hiatus.
he passed the torch The Rock, the only man worthy. Steen wouldn't even have made it as a jobber in the attitude era. Maybe 1 squash dark match on a sunday night heat pre-show where Al Snow beats his ass in 30 seconds
>>20702037He’s better for not doing it. Cena fucked up hardcore passing the torch to dimeless shitter Gunther. Who the FUCK would stolen cold possibly pass the torch to, Kevin Owens? Lmao nigga please
>>20702099He put Triple H over
>>20702037To this fat shitter? That would be retarded.
>>20702037He literally passed the torch to the Rock, you faggot.
>>20702037Owens had already surpassed him, this was KO letting Austin hold the torch one last time.
>>20702037>be cold stone steve bitchin>always bitchin>refuse to work with Jarrett, says he bullied me in the past>refuse to work with Billy Gunn>bigger star Rock works with Billy, makes him famous with 1 promo>HHH's push starts>refuse to put over HHH at SS99>Bigger star Rock puts HHH over>Haitch doesn't forget>Steve bitchin never wins a PPV match against HHH ever after>get buried by HHH at No Mercy 99>get buried by HHH at No Way Out 2001>fall 1999>Build to Survivor Series triple threat match>steve threw bitchfits backstage when Rock cut this promohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xooDGCgrziQ>Rock was gonna win Rumble 2000 and WWF title from austin>after losing the championship to Rock at WM, steve would go for surgery>BUT after this promo steve decided not to put Rocky over at WM2000 and go for surgery early>2000>record profits with austinetty gone>ratings decline when austinetty returns>refuse to work with Eddie, says he's too small>refuse to put over Benoit>2002>nWo arrives>bigger star Rock works with Hogan>steve bitchtits works with drunk Hall>booked to job to Hall at WMX8>cry like a bitch, get result changed>First ever Roster Split Draft in 2002>bigger star Rock the overall no.1 pick>steve throws a fit and walks out>return to RAW>finally agree to work with Eddie>Eddie embarrasses him in the build>booked to put over Brock as a part of Eddie program>walk out like a bitch>again, bigger star Rock comes to rescue and puts Eddie and Brock over>beat Debra>get jailed>2003>program with bigger star Rock>gets his wifebeating ass carried throughout the program and the match>leave again when asked to work with Goldberg>late 2003>return as sheriff>wear a kiddie badge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuNAYdcgRcc>ratings decline even more>kek what a sheriff badge wearing baldheaded wifebeater SELF-MARK bitch KWASBWBHWBSMB>2011>third wheel referee in a Michael Cole match at WM27 KWAB
>>20702037Tsk tsk boomers are so shameless I tell you.
>>20702037I actually missed this match. QRD on how it was and time length of match?No, I won't go to (You)tube and watch or look it up.
>>20702037Who did Cena pass the torch to? Didn't Austin pass it to The Rock
>>20702058Wake that up. Marks are confirmed npcs
>>20702099He put rock over and taker
>>20705634>and takeryou stupid son of a bitch, Undertaker was already a legend when steve was a jobber/midcarder. Rock got the torch from Hogan, not austin. Hogan was a way bigger star than steve
>>20704354Spiritually Cody Rhodes, canonically GUNTHER
>>20705634He put Rock over when Rock was basically done and Hollywood bound. Taker was made for years before Austin got there and over himself.
>>20702058This. "You always go out on your back." is an Al Snow tier markism. This originates because typically guys jobbed in their last match if they were leaving a territory, not their actual last match. Jobbing out stars in retirement matches is how you kill the business, outside of a few really rare exceptions. Smarks also use the term 'passing the torch' like one guy should lose to a younger guy with a similar gimmick, which is utter retardation. If you want to get a guy over as the 'next Steve Austin' you would want him to avenge Steve Austin by beating a guy who screwed Steve Austin (a match is unnecessary, him being jumped is more effective in almost all cases), not having him beat Steve Austin and get heel heat. That's fucking retarded.

>>20702037Look at Kevin Owens. That's why.
>>20706506are you enjoying your 4chan pass sir?
>>20703028In an ambiguous finish and then proceeded to spend the next 6 months making Angle look like a dork
>>20702088literally the number reason I stopped watching back in the day when Kevin Dunn was doing the camera work feels like a seizure watching this shit
>>20706560>4chan passisn't this website free to use? or do you jabronies from the US have to pay? it's free here in europe
>>20708318>in europeIngloriousBarScene3Fingers.png
>>20702037Passing the torch doesn't work when the guy you're passing it to is some fatass midcarder
>>20702099>Mankind >The Rock>Triple H>Kurt Angle All more or less clean. Also lost to heels (not clean) as you would expect. This is the top star of the era what are you actually expecting? Mark.
>>20703717Holy kek
>>20702037If Austin passed the torch there Owens would have eaten it and caused a fire situation at Mania.
>>20703028He begrudgingly put Angle over, same with >>20703257.
>>20703368>pass the torch>to a guy also on his way outStop trollin', this was more of a Brock/Goldberg 1 scenario done right.
>>20702037steve never had the torch to begin with
>>20709346Exactly>austin got torch passed to him by HBGay, who wasn't even the top guy of New Gen era.>Top guy of New Gen era, Hitman, ALWAYS buried austin. Never got pinned by austin>Rock got the torch directly from Hogan, and then passed on to Brock and Cena
>>20710044
steve austin was great for only 3 years: >Early 90s - jobber in WCW and WWF>1997 - his best year, carried by Bret>1998 - finally won the title after HBGay quit>1999 - absent for 3 months, was jannetty to the Rock>2000 - absent for 8 months, was jannetty to the Rock and Triple Gaytch>2001 - shit heel turn, killed the business in the Rock's absence>2002 - became midcarder again, took his ball and went home
Remember when Austin walked out the night after WrestleMania 18 because he didn't like his place on the card?Remember when Austin skipped the brand split draft in 2002 because he wasn't going to be the first pick?Remember when he no showed a bunch of Raws in Fall 01 because he had to put kurt angle over for 9/11 reasons and he didn't want to?Remember when he walked out again because he was seething over lesnar and vince was trying to move on from Austins old ass?Remember when he didn't want to put The Rock over at WrestleMania 2000 so he got his neck surgery faster than he was supposed to?Remember when Austin came back in 2003 and got embarrassed by Triple H for being a pretend sheriff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuNAYdcgRcc&t=41s
>>20702058I can only think of Angle/Corbin. There is still no cope for that even though Angle had no business being in a ring anymore.
>>20702037>>20703368Rock vs austin at WM XIX>Re-watch the match>The last 12 minutes have literally zero offense from simpcuck steve>Rock destroys austin and makes austin look like a jabroni>Rock sends austin's crippled ass into retirementDuring the build to WMXIX in 2003, Dave Meltzer said there's a lot of pressure on Rock internally to get a good match out of Austin at WrestleMania because there seems to be concern over how much Austin has left.>simpcuck steve got his crippled redneck ass carried by Rocky at WM XIX>Out of the 19 minutes of Rock-Austin 3 runtime, simpcuck steve was getting his ass whipped for the last 10 mins like a jabroni>steve couldn't even stand properly for 12 minutes out of the 19 minute runtime>Dallas WM match vs Fatty Owens was an embarrassment
>>20703028In a dusty finish that was reversed the next night.>>20703368To the guy that had been more over than him for half a decade already? That's not 'passing the torch'. That's doing literally the only thing you can do to try and be relevant.
Why did steve never main event a PPV again after Hogan came back?>No Way Out 2002His last main event, jobbing to Jericho. Hogan returned here.>Wrestlemania X8Wrestling Hogan's jannetties in the midcard>Backlash 2002jobbed to the Undercarder, meanwhile based HoGOAT won the belt from Haitch>Judgement Day 2002literally wrestling Big Show and Ric Flair in a midcard handicap match. HoGOAT in the main event.>Stevetty then took his ball home for a period of time>No Way Out 2003Came back to a lot of hype, wrestled some GM in the midcard whilst Rock and HoGOAT took the main event>Wrestlemania XIXjobbed to Rock in the midcard>Turns heel and kills the hot streak>Leaves instead of trying to fix things>Blame everyone else for the business failingthats austin for you>no accountability>when going gets tough, gets going homewhat a womanly faggot KWAB
>>20702037Why should he?
