Stone Cold and Undertaker's story are some of the few reasons that in the world of Professional Wrestling, there's always struggles and challenges to be the best that you want to be.
The "territories error" is a misspelling but perfectly describes that early time period. A lot of wrestlers got screwed and lost in history along the way, building the sport into the lucrative business it is today.
I had the privilege of filming Steve once in south Texas on a whitetail deer hunt. I asked him if he ever got tired of signing things and taking pics, he looked me dead in the face and said, never! Those people made me who I am and I owe them. He is the real deal, a true stand up guy!
@@Antoniodagreatso you're enabling a man that physically assaulted a female just because you're a fan? Then have the audacity to act like the good guy in this by calling the person a Karen for bringing it up?
@@metrowater2819Without fail, there's always that one troll who comments on the negative thing they heard (which took place 20 years ago, in this instance). Notice they never mention the millions of great things people do --- just the one bad thing. What a sad existence.
Total respect they never gave up never became the victim they worked there ass off and always forward thinking. Dream big guys never give up on what u can do never let anyone or any circumstance tell u otherwise
And as the story goes Stone Cold was really depressed about this but then along came Jeff Jarret with some words of wisdom and everything was alright 👍
Damn I've been there, spent 2 years in total on the streets while trying to work jobs at the same time trying to save up enough to find some place after my last place was sold up by the owner, I didn't have enough saved at the time to move to another place and was paying off a lot of bills, it was tragic being out there and made it more difficult for me to find and keep work, a lot of jobs I was only able to do temporarily but the worst was when I had no luck during the winter of '17/18 when jobs dried up around my area, I was stuck during the Christmas and New Years period without enough to even feed myself and spent time sleeping in a slide in a park to try keep warm during the freezing temperatures with my body and mind wasting away, I tried seeking support through any means possible but I was so low down the priority list as a single man without any long term disabilities that I was forgotten about even when I kept trying to chase it up. It was one of the hardest times in my life in fact I was only lucky that I was able to get a sustained period of work and finally managed to save over 1k for a deposit on a place after making a lot of daily sacrifices and surviving on literally the bare minimum, spending an hour before work starts in public toilets to clean myself up and took my clothes to the laundry stores after work but the fact of the matter was that if I didn't have that much money saved after such a long damn time, I wouldn't have been able to get a place period. The cost of housing and living in general is almost impossible to deal with and people want to think it's only people who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction that are homeless. Yeah I drink sometimes and I smoke a little weed and during times of intense pain I used very strong painkillers according to the dosage but that's not what got me into my situation to begin with and not the image that reflects reality. It makes me sick because I know if those people who made those criticisms were out on the street like that, they would feel so hopeless and have no choice but to escape by having a little something to drink to keep them warm or to numb the pain of going through such a hard situation in harsh conditions, no proper rest or sleep, never feeling completely safe, always anxious and irritable and feeling very hopeless. Those out there need more sympathy and respect for soldiering such tough times compared to those sheltered people with families who they have as backup and their nice upbringing as well, I had no one to rely on, not a single family member after growing up in foster care during my later childhood after a chaotic home situation where I was physically abused close to the point of death and deprived to the point of starvation by my mother, it is crazy how poorly who have been through the most are treated when they should be people who we really stand by during the hardest times. I feel you man, I am still living paycheck to paycheck and I don't have any protection where I live, I'm still based out of a small room and I could be turfed out so I wouldn't be surprised if I join you my friend but I still believe there is a way out somehow and for the better. Keep strong, keep believing and as hard as it is to think about giving up, you will never get the chance to seek that peace and comfort while you're still living until you are finally out of that situation, you deserve to be in a place where you can at least somewhat call home even if it isn't easy, I know the struggle, pain and suffering just to try get a roof over your head with little money

Well Cody Rhodes might get close. He's only been in the company 1 year from his return and he's already surpassed Roman Reigns in merch sales. I do think however, that Stone Cold will always have the edge because of pop culture.

Why didn't he at least cook it? A 5 cent pot from the goodwill and free tap water you could at least boil it even if you're living out of your car. Trees are everywhere and gas stations gave out free matches up until the mid 2000's. You could use a gas station bathroom and fill up a water bottle plus get free matches to make a fire.
This is why we love these old school wrestlers, they putted not only miles on their cars, but also on their body's! They wrestle in an era where you had to pay your dues! Today some are such prima donna with the like of Sasha Banks who barely paid her dues, in an hard way, but still think that she is worth 1 million per year! Hell no! Listen to the old timers and hit the indies week after weeks and be humble!. Austin, Hogan, Taker often where sleeping in their cars!
Austin's whole family is awesome. His sister is a school nurse who saved my life back in 07 when my surgery scar ripped open in gym she cleaned it and made sure I got the er.
No many people know hunger, i was so low at one point in my life i had a pack of ramen noodles. I ate one half for dinner and the other half the following night. What made the most pain was all my "friends" turned their backs. I never wated a handout just a hand up.
smh There You'll go talk Down on Younger generation Just because you all had to starve. You're better and want us to starve, that's terrible.🤡🤡🤡 What they went through is not okay. But ya don't keep the same energy with joe biden being the president Why don't Y a l l keep the same energy with Joe b And stop complaining. Why are yall complainingabout prices Why are complaining that prices are too high? 🤡🤡🤡
The last of a dying breed. These two men are living legends And their success was not handed to them ,they went to hell and back to reach the top of the mountain of pro wrestling. I love them !
That’s why Jeff Jarrett is so hated. Cause Austin and a lot of other guys in Memphis were leaps and bounds more talented than daddy’s boy. They couldn’t afford a meal cause jerry was barely paying them. And Jeff was making all this money.
that's one hundred percent being real... DEDICATION to live and die for the business at all cost... equals SUCCESS. ATTITUDE FOR LIFE.. Steve Williams is one of the most down to earth men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and this heart is as big as his bicep. THAT'S REAL.
And what's amazing is after all of that effort these people became the backbone of the wrestling federation and no matter how amazing a new wrestler maybe they will never be able to replace these two
Actually, these two guys are genuine and have always respected the sport, which is why they are who they are. Class acts. And great actors as they can jump into character!
I think professional wrestlers lead a hard life both physically and mentally. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have to go on the road for months at a time, getting injured and bruised constantly and rarely seeing your family.
I was just talking about how Logan Paul can just walk in and headline a whole ppv when these guys had to bleed for it and there are current guys bleeding for it right now and we will never know their names.
As a puertorican who doesn't like Bad bunny as a artist, I love the dude as a wrestler. He did put in the work training and respects the business a lot more than Logan.
@@mtgspanglish731I don't think so. Bunny just grew up with it, so he's definitely a bigger fan than Logan. Logan has shown a great deal of respect for the business. He's never talked down on it or disrespected anyone in it past or present.
Two best legends ever, sometime some of these star went through alot suffering making sacrifices before their blessing of their dreams being fulfilled. God bless yall we miss the memories of you in the ring
not many get to talk about thier struggles. There are many out there that dont have anyone to listen to thier struggles. These guys are lucky to speak and make it out. There are those who lost the struggle and some who lost thier hope of living totally.
You Should Learn A New Skill, There Are Thousands Of wanna Be Pro Wrestlers, And Now That They Will Be Replaced With AI, Real Wrestlers Are Kind Of Irrelevant
Man Im happy for both of them, finally getting to a place where theyre comfortable in life and able to enjoy themselves. After all the years sacrificing themselves for my entertainment, Im forever grateful
It’s the struggle that makes people what they are, there’s a reason guys like Austin and The Undertaker are so respected and humble, because they remember what it was like before they made it.
It's these kind people that appreciate what they have attained in life... nothing was handed to them...my grandfather always told me that nobody owes you anything in life.. you're only entitled to what you WORK for in this life... period....
Those two men gave me countless of ours of pleasure in my youth. Growing up and realizing the struggle a lot of them had to endure whilst a select few filled their pockets makes me respect them even more.

It makes me sick because I know if those people who made those criticisms were out on the street like that, they would feel so hopeless and have no choice but to escape by having a little something to drink to keep them warm or to numb the pain of going through such a hard situation in harsh conditions, no proper rest or sleep, never feeling completely safe, always anxious and irritable and feeling very hopeless. Those out there need more sympathy and respect for soldiering such tough times compared to those sheltered people with families who they have as backup and their nice upbringing as well, I had no one to rely on, not a single family member after growing up in foster care during my later childhood after a chaotic home situation where I was physically abused close to the point of death and deprived to the point of starvation by my mother, it is crazy how poorly who have been through the most are treated when they should be people who we really stand by during the hardest times. I feel you man, I am still living paycheck to paycheck and I don't have any protection where I live, I'm still based out of a small room and I could be turfed out so I wouldn't be surprised if I join you my friend but I still believe there is a way out somehow and for the better. Keep strong, keep believing and as hard as it is to think about giving up, you will never get the chance to seek that peace and comfort while you're still living until you are finally out of that situation, you deserve to be in a place where you can at least somewhat call home even if it isn't easy, I know the struggle, pain and suffering just to try get a roof over your head with little money
@codesm96 wasting too much time writing all that online go out there and earn that cheddar!
@@codesm96how about butt sex?
Watched this Entire biography today during my physical therapy and it was heartbreaking 💔 grew up with these legends, love them. Awesome 👌 heroes
Salute to these two men for being a part of my childhood 2 of my favorite wrestlers ever
This was the only time he asked his parents for money… and it was his birthday gift too. ❤
That's why Flair is so liked. He was right there with them
Still screaming woooooo!!!😂😂😂
Sad wooooooooo 😭
Imagine being the size of Undertaker and sleeping in a car
Hearing that stone cold struggled def humbles me!
Imagine eating a raw potato and being soooo grateful that you had it……😢😢😢
Why didn't he at least cook it? A 5 cent pot from the goodwill and free tap water you could at least boil it even if you're living out of your car. Trees are everywhere and gas stations gave out free matches up until the mid 2000's. You could use a gas station bathroom and fill up a water bottle plus get free matches to make a fire.
@dontcare7086 because hes full of bs.. never happened
@@italianwaterice9594wtf, shut up
I call cap on that. Ive been homeless and struggled. Mf could've microwaved that potato at a gas station or something
@@user-wn3vv9jn3l you still are basically homeless
I didn't know these great athletes went through some tough times.
This is why we love these old school wrestlers, they putted not only miles on their cars, but also on their body's! They wrestle in an era where you had to pay your dues! Today some are such prima donna with the like of Sasha Banks who barely paid her dues, in an hard way, but still think that she is worth 1 million per year! Hell no! Listen to the old timers and hit the indies week after weeks and be humble!. Austin, Hogan, Taker often where sleeping in their cars!
These new wrestlers don't pay dues. All they gotta do is go online I'm sure and sign up to go to the WWE performance center.
Austin's whole family is awesome. His sister is a school nurse who saved my life back in 07 when my surgery scar ripped open in gym she cleaned it and made sure I got the er.
That's where I'm at. Sleeping in a cargo trailer. Canned chicken, kidney beans and baby spinach
I hope it gets better for you real soon brother. 😢👍
Scoot over, brother. I've made many trips to the church to get those exact things and was happy to have it...🤙
it’s sad we don’t know the struggles of these legends we look up to every hits rock bottom
Damn, I didn't realize how bad that they struggled. Thank you both for all the good memories and entertainment! 🙇♂️
And this made them the men they are today.tough and resilient
No many people know hunger, i was so low at one point in my life i had a pack of ramen noodles. I ate one half for dinner and the other half the following night. What made the most pain was all my "friends" turned their backs. I never wated a handout just a hand up.
This is why their era of wrestling is the golden era, they had real struggles and real passion
2 of my top 5 favorite wrestlers of ALL MF time .. hella respect for these fellas
Kids, these aren't sob stories, this is exactly what most success stories sound like.
smh There You'll go talk Down on Younger generation Just because you all had to starve. You're better and want us to starve, that's terrible.🤡🤡🤡 What they went through is not okay. But ya don't keep the same energy with joe biden being the president Why don't Y a l l keep the same energy with Joe b And stop complaining. Why are yall complainingabout prices Why are complaining that prices are too high? 🤡🤡🤡
Well said! ❤
what did you mean by sob? sob the cry or sob the slang?
These 2 along with many others definitely paid their do’s in the business. Much respect
Being that hungry birthed the two greatest wrestling entertainment the world has ever witnessed
The last of a dying breed.
These two men are living legends
And their success was not handed to them ,they went to hell and back to reach the top of the mountain of pro wrestling.
I love them !
I can relate man. Growing up poor I never knew where my next meal was coming from. Sometimes I didn't eat and sometimes I had to steal food
And to be fair nobody can begrudge these guys their success and every penny they earned!
The struggle is what makes us stronger
That’s why Jeff Jarrett is so hated. Cause Austin and a lot of other guys in Memphis were leaps and bounds more talented than daddy’s boy. They couldn’t afford a meal cause jerry was barely paying them. And Jeff was making all this money.
Then steve took his wife lol
@ryanmchowell-en8th No he didn't you fool
@@Dagoat5.0then Jeff took Angle’s wife 💀
Daddy's boy? What connection did he have?
@@c.518his dad was their boss
that's one hundred percent being real... DEDICATION to live and die for the business at all cost... equals SUCCESS. ATTITUDE FOR LIFE.. Steve Williams is one of the most down to earth men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and this heart is as big as his bicep. THAT'S REAL.
And what's amazing is after all of that effort these people became the backbone of the wrestling federation and no matter how amazing a new wrestler maybe they will never be able to replace these two
Actually, these two guys are genuine and have always respected the sport, which is why they are who they are. Class acts. And great actors as they can jump into character!
I read this on he's book it was call the stone cold truth awsome book
You never know how the hard times pay off
I think professional wrestlers lead a hard life both physically and mentally. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have to go on the road for months at a time, getting injured and bruised constantly and rarely seeing your family.
Tough don't last,but tough people do. You guys are prime example of that. God Bless 🙏
I was just talking about how Logan Paul can just walk in and headline a whole ppv when these guys had to bleed for it and there are current guys bleeding for it right now and we will never know their names.
I used to be an indy wrestler
As a puertorican who doesn't like Bad bunny as a artist, I love the dude as a wrestler. He did put in the work training and respects the business a lot more than Logan.
@@mtgspanglish731I don't think so. Bunny just grew up with it, so he's definitely a bigger fan than Logan. Logan has shown a great deal of respect for the business. He's never talked down on it or disrespected anyone in it past or present.
@@Kurios4Life08 And that inconsiderate Logan is good at it!
Different times man
You can see Steve getting teary eyed at the end
Stone cold was the man. Hands down my favorite all time.
Two best legends ever, sometime some of these star went through alot suffering making sacrifices before their blessing of their dreams being fulfilled. God bless yall we miss the memories of you in the ring
not many get to talk about thier struggles. There are many out there that dont have anyone to listen to thier struggles. These guys are lucky to speak and make it out. There are those who lost the struggle and some who lost thier hope of living totally.
U don't know hard times unless u been there 💯
As someone who is in training to be an Indy pro wrestler the struggle is real
You Should Learn A New Skill, There Are Thousands Of wanna Be Pro Wrestlers, And Now That They Will Be Replaced With AI, Real Wrestlers Are Kind Of Irrelevant
@@pb4ugo2bed84 not at indie shows
So glad i grew up watching these two guys and so many others!!! Was a great time to be a kid!!!!👍🏻 i was a stone cold fan to the core!!!
Shocking that these two had to go through such tough times.
Think he meant to say 100,000 miles, but still, these guys sacrificed!
I agree people put aAverage 12000 miles a year
Humble beginnings for all wrestling legends 👏👏👏👏👏
Man Im happy for both of them, finally getting to a place where theyre comfortable in life and able to enjoy themselves. After all the years sacrificing themselves for my entertainment, Im forever grateful
It’s the struggle that makes people what they are, there’s a reason guys like Austin and The Undertaker are so respected and humble, because they remember what it was like before they made it.
It's these kind people that appreciate what they have attained in life... nothing was handed to them...my grandfather always told me that nobody owes you anything in life.. you're only entitled to what you WORK for in this life... period....
Real talk
now with this generation, they think they're all entitled whether it belongs to them or not, paid for by them or not, free or not.
Hearing these stories never let's you forget the old days!!!!!👍🏾👏🏾💯
Harder the struggle.. greater the victory...
Respect for both legends.
Atleast now these legends are living comfortable lives and those old days can
*REST*
*IN*
*PEACE* 🙄
Stone cold ate so many potatoes he started to look like one
He Started Mixing Them With Steroids, That's Why He Beat His Ex Wife (Debra)
Wwe pay these veterans their dividends
This is what the fans never knew how hard they worked to get where they are today. These guys was my heroes growing up and still are. ❤
Those two men gave me countless of ours of pleasure in my youth. Growing up and realizing the struggle a lot of them had to endure whilst a select few filled their pockets makes me respect them even more.
could of stomped a mud hole out that potato and had mash. 😮
