What if Stone Cold was forced to retire after Summerslam 1997?

#3 No Stone Cold Steve Austin on wrestling's Mount Rushmore

StoneÂ — Stone Cold would never have been a World Champion or a major star

Had Stone Cold's career ended on August 3rd, 1997, he would have ended his WWF career, less than two years after it began, with a screwy Royal Rumble win, a King of the Ring title and a one day reign as Intercontinental Champion.

These are accolades which most wrestlers would love to have but they would not have led to Austin being revered as one of the greatest of all time, rather he would be held in a similar regard to legendary mid-carders such as Ricky Steamboat or Rick Rude.
