So I think this is a good video to make. You are going to see that no matter what the situation,

some fans just have insane takes. And of course you're allowed them more power to you,

and while I'm sure some of it is grifting, the latest one that has been doing the rounds is that

Stone Cold Steve Austin was overrated. You heard that right, the greatest of all time.

Now I am not saying that he had to be your guy, far from it. The beauty of life is you get to follow your gut. We still have eyes and ears. Some people are just undeniable, and you do not change the wrestling business by fluke. There's a reason it goes down. As always, we do have to turn to the best of all time to start this right because Brathart had a very good system to rate wrestlers. It's not particularly nuanced, but sometimes simple is the best. The hitman would essentially go to his three markers as to what makes a sports entertainer and rate somebody out of 10. So one, do they have the presence or the right look? He used Hulk Hogan as an example, of course, bad person he may be, but it takes one glimpse to be taken in by this guy. It's like a real-life superhero. And number two on the list? The promo. Or can somebody talk? Amazingly, the hit man used Hogan again for this and gave him a 10. Hulkomania was relied on constantly to talk people into the buildings, and for a good chunk of time, that's what Hogan did. It wasn't scared of the microphone. Third up, we have wrestling ability. This is the most subjected of the lot, but we can stick with Brett here. No big surprise. He didn't think Hulk could really go when the bell rings, so we gave him a two. Again, that's up to you,

but it sort of works. At least it gives you an idea. Hurt was an equal opportunity so was so, though, so for more evidence, he went after his own hero, the dynamite kid. He got a 10 in the ring, but a two on promos, and some people thought that was too harsh, but we have laid down a foundation. I suppose a more recent example of this would be Jay Uso, who just divides opinions all over the shop.

His in-ring gets questioned all the time, but do not walk into my house and tell me he's not a superstar.

Don't connect with the audience to get those kind of reactions by accident.

Second time I've said that.

It's truly next level stuff and

something WW jumped on too. You've got to give them credit there. That was not always a thing.

The reason we throw him in there as well is because it does all connect. There was a big old

thread with hundreds of thousands of replies of people saying, well, you know, Jay Uso is a star,

but what other superstars have there been who

kind of fit into the same category? And that's when we got the name Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I mean, what are we doing here? Now look, I like Jay a lot. He is one of my favorites right now,

and I truly enjoy his matches. His rival with Gunther has totally rocked, and I enjoy his big word, or

yeat, but to act like Steve Austin is in the same conversation, well, that's a little bit mad,

because no, just no. So to continue on how we have started, let's use Brett's system for fun.

Of course, all wrestlers have to develop a good look. It's where the idea of the airport test

came from. That's a bit overdone, but it sells the concept well. Because if you can set yourself apart so that somebody looks at you as you walk down the hallway, where you're halfway there, and yes, that's what Bon Jovi was singing about. You also want to be sort of iconic so people can't copy you, and that is Austin. If you turn up with a bald head and a goatee, you're

instantly going to get comparisons. I think Steve himself looked at what had come before and pop
