It is hard to believe that the former WWE champion was anything but a success in his career. However, there was a time when his light didn't shine as brightly as it did with Vince McMahon's promotion. During Stone Cold Steve Austin's time in WCW, he was known as Stunning Steve Austin and was one-half of the tag team champions, The Hollywood Blondes, alongside Brian Pillman.

Together they were a convincing heel tag team that was quite competitive and took part in a number of rivalries with other top teams. After the duo split, Austin captured the United States championship.

However, while his time in WCW was met with some success when compared to his time in WWE, it doesn't even come close. While in WWE he was a multiple-time WWE champion, a tag team and Intercontinental champion, and was one of the most popular wrestlers of all time. His career was capped with an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
