Stone Cold Steve Austin

name="Stone Cold" Steve Austin

Early Austin

Steve Austin got his start in professional wrestling in his home state of Texas, back in 1990. Austin was trained by "Gentleman" Chris Adams, an Englishman who was a mainstay on the Texas wrestling circuit for several years. Austin's debut match was a victory over Frogman LeBlanc. Shortly thereafter, Austin was a part of his first major storyline, ironically against his trainer, Chris Adams. To further antagonize Adams, Austin took on Jeannie Clarke, Adams' ex-wife, as his first manager. Austin and Adams feuded up and down the circuit for several months, with Adams' current wife at the time, Toni, getting into the mix as well. Austin would go on to win the USWA Southern title from Jeff Jarrett in 1991. It was only the beginning of things to come for the future wrestling legend.
