Oasus Plainsview :verified:Happy Anniversary to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
On this day, 28 years ago, Austin would beat Jake "The Snake" Roberts in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament of 1996, and proceed to cut the promo that would define his career for years to come.
Some people say that the Attitude Era began when Austin beat Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania for the WWF Championship.
Me?
I say it began at EXACTLY that moment. When he won King of the Ring. And ran down Jake Roberts. And made his intentions clear.
