Then, I've read stuffs about SCSA writing promo scripts for himself, adding his own lines, then refusing to feud with Brock & other wrestlers. He's started showing his true colors ever since he was out of the main event spot from 2002.
Also, regarding being over with the crowd even in that matter people lie about it. Those who've doubts can watch his match with Undertaker for the WWE title in '97, majority of the crowd was behind Taker, some even booed SCSA. But, WWE tries to make it seem like Austin was super over with the crowd since his debut which ain't true he had started getting huge pops from 1998 and really hate the way WWE hypes & tries to create an illusion that he's the most recognizable WWE superstar all over the world which is far from truth, his popularity is phenomenal in North America, but besides that apart from wrestling fans of other countries, no other non-wrestling fans know anything or have ever heard about SCSA. I'm not saying this because I'm not fond of Austin.
Nah. Losing clean as the Face of the company doesn't diminish their credibility unless its a badly booked match. Booing has nothing to do with clean losing. Like, Brock who's by far the most overpushed wrestler ever isn't that much over with the crowd so he neither receives extreme positive reaction nor negative, he mainly got that extreme heat for ending the streak because it was horribly booked & unexpected going by the buildup of the match, he didn't deserve it to end since he was a part-timer, or it didn't help him in either way, because he was already being perceived as the unstoppable monster & an established star who never needed it. All the faces of the company have had lost many clean matches but it never killed their credibility or fans turned against them. & you know the main reason why fans had started loathing Cena due to his superman push just like the same case with Roman. Infact, Austin would've disliked too if he was given THAT type of megapush in the modern era, I can bet on this. Fans are now even have started protesting against Brock's unworthy megapush. Even The Rock had jobbed to the likes of Hurricane & many other mid-carders when He was the top guy of WWE, then The Undertaker the most dominant & destructive force ever was one of the most strongly booked wrestlers, had lost clean numerous times throughout his career but his credibility was never diminished until 2015 when he became too old. Well, Austin was also booked as a superman like Hogan & I didn't like it because it didn't look believable to me most of the times. 😆 It suits gimmicks like Undertaker, Kane (unmasked) since they're larger than life characters, but Austin, Hogan, Rock, Cena etc are just extended version gimmicks of their real-self. Austin & Hogan these two are the most over protected faces of their company, Hogan atleast jobbed to lots of credible wrestlers (baring Randy & Shawn) during his second run from '02-'03 but Austin didn't even lose (even through some outside interference) to so many credible wrestlers who were over with the crowd. You've to be selfish in industries like WWE but he was just beyond selfish. Has he ever made any other opponents look good or great? The answer is No. Infact he didn't even lose clean ever until his retirement match against The Rock at Wrestlemania XIX. I know his career was cut-short but tell me how many memorable or great feuds ge had in his whole apart from his rivalries with Rock & Vince. Infact, his rivalry with The Rock wasn't even a big thing until 2001. Then, during WM XIX they've had promoted & hyped to a different level as the greatest rivalry in the history which people still buy to this date. Also, tell me how many memorable or great matches they had together apart from WM 17 & Wrestlemania XIX which was Austin's send off match and by the way it wasn't that much of an unforgettable match either. Also, the match quality wasn't good either. Same with their second meeting at WM. BTW, Rock's career was also cut-short (minus his second stint in WWE) due to HW, his 1st half of career lenth was pretty much like SCSA, but he's had so many amazing feuds in such a short pan of time from Mankind to Triple H to Chrish Jericho (which I rate much much higher than his overrated rivalry with Austin & one of my all time favorite feuds) etc.
Oh, yea Triple H is pathetic-ness personified. Nothing new about him. 😆 He was also an integral part of the Montreal Screwjob. 🤢
