Stone Cold Steve Austin was known in WCW as "Stunning" Steve Austin. He is a former US, TV, and Tag Team Champion whose name is synonymous with the brand's success. He was fired once in 1995 while suffering from torn triceps.

Austin made his triumphant in-ring return to WWE in early 2003 after leaving the company in June 2002 due to a creative disagreement. His rematch against RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff was scheduled for No Way Out 2003.

Bischoff was a former WCW Vice President who rose through the ranks to eventually become President. He was instrumental in Austin getting the boot back in '95.

WCW legend Eric Bischoff named his favorite moment with Stone Cold Steve Austin which made him feel grateful to be a part of the star's journey. Bischoff and Austin's careers intersected in the early 1990s in WCW and a decade later in WWE.

The WWE Hall of Famer answered a fan's question about his favorite Austin-related moment. Bischoff chose the Austin-No Way Out match from 2003.

"Too difficult to separate them. They were ALL a blast. Having a "match" with Steve was a very special moment. The crowd in Montreal was live fire. Steve returning to the ring was highly anticipated. Grateful for that moment," Bischoff wrote.
