That much was never proven more than when Austin took on Bret 'Hitman' Hart at WrestleMania 13, in I-Quit Submissions match. Entering as the heel, Austin was foul-mouthed on his way to the ring, riling up the fans live in Detroit.

However, as the match went on, and the Hitman showed his more sadistic side, the crowd couldn't help but side with Austin, who despite his flaws, refused to quit to the Excellence of Execution.

With Ken Shamrock as the guest referee, the crescendo of the match came at the end, as Hart locked a bloodied Austin into his Sharpshooter finisher.

Screaming in pain, Austin still refused to tap, passing out in a pool of his own blood, to the admiration of millions around the world.
