There are few WWE Superstars, if any, who are bigger than 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Looking back at it, his run on top only lasted for a few years, starting in 1998 and ending in 2003.

This doesn't even include the injury spell that saw him miss WrestleMania in 2000 and when he walked out of WWE after he was asked to put Brock Lesnar over on free TV.

Steve Austin debuted in WWE in early 1996 and became Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Champion. Austin admittedly disliked his first gimmick in WWE, and his original finisher was DiBiase's "Million Dollar Dream."

Once Austin went solo, he adopted the stunner as his finisher, and he would reach unseen levels of popularity in WWE. It would go on to become one of the most iconic finishing moves in WWE history. Many of the industry's biggest names have been hit by the move - including Linda McMahon.
