| Persona: Austin. A true defining character, past the simple heel/face formula of decades past. An inspiration to everyone who wants to beat the crap out of their boss. Chump Hogan in his time was for kids, and a few patriotic Raygunites of adult age but infantile mind. Austin is for today's man who sees life for the cesspool that it is.
In ring: Natch. More years of entertainment than anyone else I'm aware of. The dirtiest player in the game, still most respected. In a way a early Austin--beyond the simple illusion that is good and evil. |
