HULK HOGAN, KEVIN NASH, AND SCOTT HALL CREATED THE NWO TO CHANGE SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT The veteran Superstars formed the faction following Hogan’s Leg Drop on Randy Savage. This was one of the most controversial factions in the history of WWE. One of the popular storylines involving the nWo was the feud with The Rock [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/] and Stone Cold Steve Austin [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stone-cold-steve-austin/]. It started with The Rock challenging Hulk Hogan for a match at WrestleMania. Even after Hollywood Hogan accepted, Rock kept his grip on the handshake and then executed a Rock Bottom on him. Nash and Hall rushed out to the arena and ambushed The Great One. Not only did they assault and spray paint him, but also refused to let medics treat him or the ambulance leave the arena.

The faction interfered with Austin’s match against Chris Jericho, which cost him the chance to secure the Undisputed WWE Championship. The feud between Austin and nWo kept going to and fro, until The Rock returned and challenged Hulk Hogan for another fight. However, it was Hall who accepted the challenge, and it ended with all three nWo members attacking The Brahma Bull. This is when The Texas Rattlesnake stopped the attack and saved The Rock.

<h2>"Stone Cold" Steve Austin 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.si.com/.image/t_share/MTY4MDI4Njc2MTMzNDMwNTQ1/stone-cold-steve-austin-beer-diet-explanationjpg.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is a name that reverberates through the stands of a WWE show like wildfire. Whenever that broken glass cracks through the speakers, a pop is heard like never before.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Rattlesnake’ is a Superstar of the people and is by far the most popular Superstar to have ever stepped foot in the WWE ring. In a career that lasted nearly 7 years, he was able to make himself larger than life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/rd-talent/Bio/Steve_Austin_bio.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and WCW</h3>
Stone Cold began his career in NWA and quickly made his talent into a recognized feature. He was soon recruited to WCW where he performed for a good 5 years.

There, he got into the roots of what would be his gimmick for the rest of his career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.redd.it/9tdddhslsvg31.jpg" alt="" width="1138" height="1296" data-noaft="1" />

Noticing the grass was greener for him in WWE, Austin decided to make the switch, a decision that would change the course of wrestling history.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE / WWF</h3>
At WWE, then WWF, Stone Cold earned the faith of Vince McMahon and his creative team. They saw the potential in him to be the big star they needed after the departure of prominent Wrestling greats such as Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/e8/2e/75e82ecc08d01ce2d210d0792c8d2f69.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" data-noaft="1" />

Austin rose to fame during his feud with Jake “The Snake” Roberts. During the King of the Ring tournament, ‘The Rattlesnake’ took advantage of Roberts’ Biblical persona to cite “Austin 3:16” in place of John 3:16.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

This became a huge part of his persona as Stone Cold rose to the top of the business. As the Attitude Era settled in, Austin became the poster boy of the era and was in his element.

&nbsp;

The era was perfect for his rebellious character and for an audience that always loved to see someone sticking it to the boss.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Attitude Era and feud with Vince McMahon</h3>
Stone Cold skyrocketed to the stars when he actively fought WWE CEO and Chairman Vince Mcmahon in various feuds, taking down the boss on multiple occasions.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb aligncenter" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2012/01/02_SCSA_McMahon.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="316" data-noaft="1" />

This was the first time McMahon himself got involved in feuds, and the crowd absolutely loved the merciless Stone Cold who cared the least for the hierarchy.

Apart from various World Championship reigns, Stone Cold was known for the most bizarre entrances in WWE. ‘The Rattlesnake’ was seen riding a quad bike, a fire truck filled with beer, as well as a cement truck, all used for the express purpose of attacking Vince Mcmahon.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/829/299/80691c9146b59db0c557278da610fd64_crop_exact.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=1200&amp;q=75" alt="" width="1078" height="718" data-noaft="1" />

At one point, Austin even filled the Chairman’s beautiful Corvette with wet cement, an event which soon went down as one of the most iconic moments of WWE history. Steve Austin would not leave McMahon and even ambushed him in a hospital!

The former WCW Superstar was a key figure who almost single handily turned the tide of viewership back in the favor of WWE in the Monday Night Wars with WCW, an effort which has been assumed as a lost cause for WWE.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2019/11/11/a2396ded-ed12-4c5f-bb42-a43db1003c55/thumbnail/1200x675/6edf6db61d476c8c8af811eeaf3bf63b/taker-austin.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Rivalry with The Rock</h3>
The rise of The Rock and “Mankind” Mick Foley boosted the Attitude Era to its peak. Steve Austin then met the greatest rival he would ever face, which was The Rock.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ODz6E47uaDc/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Never before had there been a feud so high profile, and so tightly contested. Fans felt like they were seeing Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant again, but this was much bigger.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Brahma Bull’ and ‘The Rattlesnake’ battled it out for 4 straight years in a clash of the most popular Superstars in WWE at the time. This was arguably the point where WWE reached its peak.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wwfoldschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stone-Cold-Steve-Austin-vs-The-Rock-WWE-WrestleMania-19.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="628" data-noaft="1" />

Stone Cold had a set of memorable feuds with Triple H in the meantime and even led the WWE roster against the invading WCW Superstars during the Invasion storyline, which established him as the one-man show of WWE.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://stillrealtous.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/wrestlemania.jpg" alt="" width="735" height="436" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Retirement and appearances for WWE</h3>
Stone Cold was a great wrestler, but all good things must come to an end. An injury suffered in 1997 aggravated as he wrestled more matches and became a serious drawback for him after 2000.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/GettyImages-103323479-1-e978.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all" alt="" width="3321" height="2336" data-noaft="1" />

The era of Austin was over as the Attitude times changed, and the big man retired after a final WrestleMania match with The Rock- a fitting end to a glorious career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/nintchdbpict000289041273.jpg" alt="" width="1989" height="3000" data-noaft="1" />

Stone Cold didn’t fully leave WWE and still constantly appears on the shows as a guest referee or to simply Stun everyone and leave. His signature beer smash never gets old and he remains one of the most popular stars in WWE today.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://s.hdnux.com/photos/45/14/46/9750941/3/920x920.jpg" alt="" width="920" height="729" data-noaft="1" />

Stone Cold offers everyone a beer, but only a few escape the ring without getting Stunned shortly after. WWE Superstars never seem to get the gist of that. It was Austin 3:16 then, and the beer keeps on coming for Stone Cold.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Dwayne Johnson &#8211; Net Worth 2024, Family, and Career Dwayne Johnson is one of the most popular and well-known wrestling superstars and actors in the world. After going through many hardships and struggles, Johnson was able to make it big. He started off his career as an ambitious football player, but then switched it to that of a pro wrestler, and now is a successful actor. What is the net worth of Dwayne Johnson? &#8216;The Great One&#8217; of WWE is currently one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. Apart from acting, Johnson is also heavily involved in various businesses and is a majority owner of many ventures. Dwayne Johnson&#8217;s net worth stands at $800 million as of 2023. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA &#8211; NOVEMBER 03: Dwayne Johnson attends the World Premiere of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Red Notice&#8221; at L.A. LIVE on November 03, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) It includes all of his movie earnings and business earnings as well, including his 30% stake in Teremana tequila. Many even expect it to touch the $1 billion mark with the Teremana tequila valuation increasing. The former wrestling star earns a whopping $270 million per year. All about Dwayne Johnson &#8211; family, kids, wife, and affairs A family man, Johnson always holds dear the most important people in his life; be it his mother, his cousins, his wife, or his children. Dwayne Johnson loves spending time with his family and is fond of having a special time with them. His father, Rocky Johnson, was also a pro wrestler, while his mother, Ata Johnson, belonged to the famous Anoa&#8217;i wrestling family. Thus, The Rock&#8217;s heritage is linked with the respected wrestling family, and he shares his lineage with some of the popular Samoan wrestlers. Johnson is a father to three daughters. Simone Johnson, the eldest, was born to his first wife, Dany Garcia, while his other two daughters, Jasmine Johnson and Tiana Johnson, were born to his current wife, Lauren Hashian. Simone Johnson followed in her father&#8217;s footsteps and stepped into WWE. She is currently part of NXT Roster under the ring name &#8216;Ava Raine&#8217;. Credits: Imago Growing up, The Rock did not experience luxury and did not have the pleasure of owning a proper home. However, with his current status, he lives in a mansion in Beverly Park, Los Angeles. How did Dwayne Johnsonâ€™s early life look like? Dwayne Johnson spent his childhood in multiple places. Born in Hayward, he spent his life in New Zealand, Honolulu, Charlotte, Hamden, and Nashville. The Rock&#8217;s father was a pro wrestler and was an inspiration to him. While growing up, Johnson faced a lot of hardships and struggles. Quite often, he and his mother wereÂ thrown out of their houses for not paying the rent, or Johnson would also find himself in trouble with the law frequently. The former wrestler knows what struggle is, and having experienced every bit of it, he is blessed for the life he has right now. He graduated from high school, enrolled on a full scholarship at The University of Miami, and aspired to be a professional player there. But life had other plans for him. After not getting drafted for the NFL, Johnson flew out to Canada to play in the Canadian League. Unfortunately, two months later, he was dropped. People might wonder if Johnson has served in the army, but he has not.  NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; NOVEMBER 02: Dwane &#8220;the Rock&#8221; Johnson holds the belt for the Welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal of the United States and Nate Diaz of the United States during UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden on November 02, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Steven Ryan/Getty Images)  During this dark phase of his career, he traced back to his roots and joined the family legacy of pro wrestling. Soon, he was roped in by WWE, where he made his debut as Rocky Maivia, a character that failed to work well. What followed was a major heel turn, and &#8216;The Rock&#8217;, the name that set well with his identity, was born. There were years of entertainment, Championship wins, and massive pushes he received from Vince McMahon. At this point, WWE was heading into the Attitude Era, a more rebellious stage. Johnson rose to his peak during this era and made a name for himself. Apart from his wrestling skills, he was also known for his promo abilities and revolutionized the art of cutting promos. The Attitude Era took The Rock to prominence, and it attracted Hollywood as well; like bees to honey. Soon, they offered him multiple projects, and in 2001, The Rock left WWE to make a career in the movies. A look at the football career of Dwayne Johnson When it comes to the NFL, Johnson did not experience a happy phase. During the early stage of his football career, The Brahma Bull was rejected during the NFL drafts and had to move to Canada to play football. Now he is in an entirely different league of his own. While he does not own an NFL team yet, he is the owner of XFL. A direct competitor to the NFL, XFL has set up an R&amp;D partnership with the NFL, to expand the sport of football. All about the wrestling career of Dwayne Johnson A failed football career motivated The Rock to pursue pro wrestling. After his initial babyface gimmick failed, he turned heel. Johnson&#8217;s heel turn was a reviving moment in his career, and after that, he never had to look back. He reached new heights and tasted success with this new loud-mouthed, no-nonsense gimmick. During this transition phase of his career, Pat Patterson, a father-like figure to Johnson, suggested him the name, &#8216;The Rock&#8217;. It instantly clicked with him and has stayed with him forever since. WWE was going through a change during that point, and his gimmick, paired alongside another rising star, Stone Cold Steve Austin, took the company to new heights and also gave rise to a new rivalry. Soon, The Rock started focusing on acting and left WWE permanently. His busy schedule came in the way of his wrestling career. It is not known how much he earned during his prime in the company. During his stint in WWE from 2011-2013, Dwayne Johnson took home $5 million on an annual basis. However, he is no longer signed to the company but can make sporadic appearances at big events. Unveiling the Story of Dwayne Johnson&#8217;s Flourishing Acting Career Being one of the biggest movie stars in the world, Johnson has earned a major name for himself. Over the years, he has acted and produced some of the biggest and most popular films of all time.
