One of the most iconic WWE superstars of all time, Austin is a former WWF, Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion, as well as the 1996 King of the Ring, and a record-setting 3-time Royal Rumble winner.

But before he was Stone Cold, Austin joined Heyman's ECW, after being famously fired (via a FedEx) from WCW.

Whilst Austin credits Heyman for helping him make the Stone Cold character, Paul has always said Austin would have got there himself, and the manager was just lucky to be able to work with the right guy at the right time.

When firing him, Bischoff said how there was nothing that could be done with Austin: who wore a simple black boots and black trunks look. Oh how wrong they were.
