Getting fired by Eric Bischoff was the best thing that happened to Austin, as he went on to have a Hall of Fame career in WWE, becoming the face of WWE's new direction during the Attitude Era. He main-evented several WrestleManias and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009. Austin's name always comes up whenever the Mount Rushmore of pro-wrestling is discussed by fans and experts.
