[iamlionful]

2012

[Oscy]

Is Stone Cold form Winnipeg?

[num1Jaysta]

Also VINTAGE closeline by Taker.

[DarkAK2]

steve austin looked more muscular there than in wwf

[num1Jaysta]

@DarkAK2 Not much beer drinkin from him back then i guess.

[udaykiran18]

The man portrayed as Steve Williams in the match is not Stone Cold Steve Austin..look at the height and physique..Austin never had a good physique..and he is few inches shorter than the steve williams in this match..and if you observe closely you will realize that its not Austin

[guatrucho]

@udaykiran18 It's Austin in his EARLIER days!

[udaykiran18]

@guatrucho yeah..now i realize..jees..could not believe Austin had such a great physique..

[Slateboard]

A Better looking Leg Drop than Hogan

[jason60152]

hahaha Undertaker did the Hogan leg drop at 2:30-2:35.

[LordCrogan616]

@jason60152 Taker still uses that leg drop too

[DragonTrixter]

Undertaker vs Stone Cold at WM 28!

[TheAnimalover173]

@DragonTrixter 20-0

Undertaker 4 ever

R.I.P stone cold

[skeletonchrist1503]

who wouldve thought it

[145846]

lol raghead I love how innocent tv was :D

[unsupa]

Austin use to have a six pack of the non-canned variety.. nice.

[cls2k6]

Also it's amazing that theres so much history and legacy between these guys. There's barely anybody in the WWE today that can obtain that kind of legacy we see in greats like the Undertaker and Stone Cold.

[cls2k6]

WHOAAA Undertaker clothesline!! Love how even over 20 years later he still has the same moves and executes them perfectly every time.

[MrJimmyspider]

So is Steve black or Mexican? Or y do u say he looks like a white version of hogan

[jason60152]

@MrJimmyspider Both of them is white he trippin.

[C0mmentar]

they said Punisher 6.8 ft which means Undertaker is really not 6.10 ft he is just endorsed...but hey good match. and wtf is up with stone cold's hair? he looks like white version of hulk hogan

[KaneRobot]

Biggest draw in wrestling history vs. Greatest gimmick in wrestling history...back when they were both nobodies

[goomba1982]

how does taker beat austin in 2 minutes with a leg drop, now people would riot if that happened

[1EPowerUp]

austin was jacked up back then

[jason60152]

@1EPowerUp Steroids was legal back then.

[1EPowerUp]

@jason60152 they definetly werent legal in the US, but a place like USWA wouldnt have been testing for them.

[whatevpunk]

Marijuana Mark vs Alcoholic Austin...Fake wrestling is super gay!

[kassop]

@whatevpunk get in a ring and they will make u scream like a bitch that u are

[nosajttenneb]

Sounds like Robert Fuller (Col. Tom Parker) there around 1:30 in the commentary.

[JRSanchez93]

Ahhhhhh. Now I know where Kevin Nash got his look from.

[j4k3y671]

wow steve austin'shair

[LiamCatterson]

God, Austin with that long blonde hair...

[Conor2694]

holy shit austin has hair

[Mssaab1]

look at austin damn!



[asifmiah1]

so glad taker's finisher wasn't the leg drop.

[kamdawg00]

Hollywood blonde austin

[Trackstar601]

No fucking way. You'll never find anything like this anywhere else. Its like a history lesson for wrestling. wow!

[themaddkat]

that was austin on the juice back in the day

[MegaHardcore76]

Thats crazy, they both came up in the westling profession. Time sure does fly.

[TheChayLopez]

Man, where the hell does time go?

[Eduardo10390]

this is some time in 1989, 'cause they said this is Austin's debut match, and he debuted in Dallas in 1989

[DaveInOCNJ]

Its kinda interesting that Austin tells the story of being able to afford nothing but potatoes & tunafish when he first started out....but that body looks like he could afford something else.

[ChaosTheory693]

Austin with hair is odd to see

[PrinceOfNsanity]

Isn't it ironic how they are both Texas legends?

[MrCuteguylol]

the leg drop the flying close line... he had these moves :O

[LogicLyfe]

I bet at the time, they had no idea they would become two of the most legendary wrestlers of this time.

[mr83]

before the undertaker went to the dark side, and before austin tasted his first beer!

respect to both men!!

[ThatNickGuy28]

Holy shit, for a second, I thought that was Lex Luger!

[TheLuvers666]

Geez. The Undertaker was enormous then.

[phunktup]

@TheLuvers666

Forget about Taker, look at Austins fucking HAIR!

[WillHear432]

I thought Frogman LeBlanc was his first match.

[CC25Y]

wow u can see a lil bit of the rattle snake and the deadman in them even back then

[Geolink2349]

Stone Cold the Jobber!

[MegaFincham]

lol Austin beaten in 2 mins by a leg drop funny how things change

[dannielpreto]

It's funny how these two became such great superstars...

[combatearmshelp]

@dannielpreto Every great superstar had a beginning

[MrCorndogEater]

@dannielpreto What makes it funny?

[dannielpreto]

@MrCorndogEater Well all the guys there live didn't see it coming. I mean they literally became two of the biggest pro wrestlers in WWF/E with very different gimmicks. I didn't mean it in any disrespectful way, I like these, two, legends for sure.

[BuckeyeTurf06]

@dannielpreto This video among many is a great example of how someone can go from not being well-known, to two of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the business.

[AmericanCombatAssoc]

RIP General Skandar Akbar!

[MasterOfTimeForever]

This Happened At 1989

[gothvamp133]

HOLY SH**!!

STEVE AUSTIN WITH HAIR?! AND IT WAS BLONDE?!

awesome

[THEWIZARDOFEIRE]

@gothvamp133 well he was in the hollywood blondes in wcw

[SoUthTeXasHoUsToN1]

undertaker was pretty strong and still is....

[kiomn]

austin is cut like a mother! 

[TheSWFuniverse]

Austin debuted in 1989.. Taker in WWF in 1990.. this is probably 1989 or very early 1990 here..

[TheSWFuniverse]

Austin's body is phenomenal

[genosynca]

austin was very ripped in the early days of his career and later put on a bit more weight.

[jason60152]

@genosynca he did steroids back in these days

[epic50nal]

Who knew less than a decade later, this guys would me main evening WWF/E PPV's? You just never know.

[SoUthTeXasHoUsToN1]

@epic50nal yea you never know bro he started small now look at him a hall of famer

[5020maine]

look at stone cold hair lol



[NZKingOfXtreme]

WCW said Taker would never amount to anything.....wow they fucked that up

[19and1WooWooWoo]

whoa ho wow stopped himself dead in his tracks while punisher went for a headlock counter into an irish whip

[silkaem]

This is the Pre-Stevewieser era apparently.

[TheEpicBurp]

the year is probably 91 or something. back before undertaker debuted in wwe i think. looks like it cus he has no tattoos on his arms

[Thorpedo619]

@TheEpicBurp it would of been in 88 or something like that because Undertaker was in WCW before joining WWE in 1990

[CHADE47lol]

@TheEpicBurp taker debuted in wwe at 1990 and at 1991 he won his first title this is probably 1988 or 1989

[laughorcrytv]

this is weird to see cuz l8r on this feud was one of the top feuds at wrestlings hottest period. hard to predict, the crowd here had no idea

[TheMusikalGenius]

Austin, back in the early days of his career, looked like Ryan "Skidmarks" from WWE's Tough Enough... haha.

[retsea1]

the famous jumping clothesline

[scottiboi05]

has to be about 87

[AyeItsCookiie]

Lol when Austin still had hair =)

[CJShameless]

Austin seems more ripped cuz he's younger....

[GSWarriors9]

Did Austin have to lose muscle for his Stone Cold gimick? He is clearly much more ripped here.....or hsould I say juiced?

[TheChromanoise]

@GSWarriors9 He legit broke his neck that's why.

[GSWarriors9]

@TheChromanoise How does breaking your neck cause muscle loss? Plus, he didnt look this ripped even BEFORE the neck injury.

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

look at Taker and steve haha wow throw-fuckin-back!!

[donmarco510]

austin use to be diesaled

[VHTLtdDimarzio]

Steve Austin looks more roided out here than in WWF. That's a shocker.

[james1tk]

damn austin was cut lol

[trentonator]

Undertaker makes quick work of Austin. They way it should be.. :)

[sahib4552]

no finishing move still undertaker wins and in wwe finisher after finisher undertaker still could not manage to beat austin bcoz austin was FACE sh**

[oracle19]

Undertaker looks like a masked Diesel here.

[skeletonchrist1503]

little did anyone one know how much this was worth in like 10years or so

[anthonymasse1402]

Everybody was a jobber.. But what we saw was the 2 biggest stars in the making.

[krazygreen]

"Punisher nearly got the hammer-rock pile-driver but instead goes for the punisher-slam, but Williams-Austin counters! Williams-Austin counters! Elbows to the back of the head, he's on fire! Off the rope, Williams-Austin with the take down! Punisher lays there...but gets right back up! Williams-Austin looks Punisher right in the mask, gives him the finger, kicks him in the sternum, and Steve Williams Stuns him! 1 - 2 - 3, it's over! it's over! Williams wins it, Williams wins it!"

[gjnice21]

Give me a hell no lol

[ViperRKO1975]

attitude before attitude

[MrDirkDaring]

Look how cut and muscular Austin was then. He certainly never looked like that in WWF. I don't even remember him looking like that in WCW.

[Swype87]

Eric Bischoff: "Punisher, Austin, hmmm, these guys will never put butts in the seats?"

[kevinhardy]

good match

[masterghul]

Undertaker will always be the go to drug dealer in the locker room of the WWE!

Pathetic old fool!

I wish Brock Lesnar would just go and whoop his old wrinkled ass already.

Drugged up deadman!

[Spulpacz]

steve austin looked preety badass with long hair,too bad he went bald

[HyperCam3Vids]

SCSA should never have started drinking, he'd have a mad as body right now, but the beer drinking made him so cool LOL

[youngron707]

WTF !

Austin you jobber! lol

fuckin 3 min match.

[bortelk]

Undertaker ! fuck yeah :)

[TheSebang]

Austin looks like a mix between Chris Benoit and Jerry Lynn here.

[twiztid4life]

ha looks like austin is goin up against fuckin dominatrix, haha...

[phildirt3]

he keeps calling austin williams

[3sumforme]

@phildirt3 Williams is his real last name

[joshkeller206]

@phildirt3

He only used his real name Steve Williams for a few matches because of the big wrestling star "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. When he first left Dallas to work in Oklahoma, they made him change the name and they came up with Austin, after the 6 Million Dollar Man.

[radonma]

Classic - i got a few USWA tapes from back in the 90's in little old Hereford, England. Loved seeing where my fav wrestlers started from

[Spamazoid]

mind boggling, do you think these two guys would ever think at this time, that by the year 2000 they would be 2 of the biggest names in wrestling history

[AMEwrestling]

Undertaker- former basketball player, debuted in 1984.

Stone Cold- former football player, debuted in 1989. Who would ever thought they would have a series of classic rivalries in WWE?

[anotherguttersnipe]

Wow..... Austin had hair.

[csquaredremixz]

hahaha christ, Austin was juiced up!!

[grate4life]

i own this match on the steve austin dvd

[PhillyGirl1]

only a 3min match, dang I would have loved to see a longer match between the two.

[don417]

Punisher 3:16 says you just got your ass whupped.

[damcdanel86]

Did you hear at the beginning Admiral Ackbar is Taker's Manager. Well at least his cousin or something like that.

[kart0100]

When dis Match Held.....

[Newtonballs26]

Steve Austin: Softee

Stone Cold: BAD ASS!

[GANDEAGADOO]

U can tell its Taker from the way he walks the way he repedatley pulls his armpads up

[metans]

austin had hair right upto his wwf debut as "ringmaster" in 1995(ish) but by then the long hair he sported in the smaller leagues plus wcw and ecw, had been trimmed to a buzzcut.

i notice they are calling him by his real name (he was Steve Williams and Steve anderson because his mum remarried when he was a child) but i thought he couldn't be called "steve williams" because Dr. Death was already using that name, anyone know how long he used this name in the ring?

[TheWrestlingMemories]

It is awesome to see how far these guys have come in this business. Austin is now a Hall of Famer and Taker will be a HOFer for sure.

[msmith42001]

Austin is buff as shit.

[Rpatricklee]

@msmith42001 haha, then he got a beer gut.

[FunnyGamesReviews]

@msmith42001 was, sadly he isn't no more

[Nappy1987]

@msmith42001

STEROIDS DUDE

WHY DO YOU THINK HE LOST ALL HIS HAIR LOL

[dennymon27]

haha, undertaker dominating Austin even back then

[Kardaros]

ist doch alles gespielt -.-

[kentoro]

stone cold had hair?

[tridentmovies]

@kentoro

Stone Cold has hair even when he debuted in the WWF in late 1995 as "Ringmaster" Steve Austin. Granted, not nearly as much as here but the bald look only came several months after that later.

[ryan110001]

Man was steve austin juiced up or what, i bet he reduced his roids later on but here he looks like hes on the full cycle

[jackson0518]

whats uswa

[jackson0518]

whats uswa

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

@jackson0518 It's a regional promotion in Tennessee owned by Jerry The King Lawler. Lots of guys got their starts there. Lawler is like a 52-time USWA champ.

[TubbyTubbsTubbs]

Kinda weird seeing them fight each other in their early career as unknowns, then see them both become megastars in their own right and having some of the best fueds ever in wrestling.

[Rodiguez83]

Austin looks good with his blonde hair.

[UnknownGenius01]

Wow, Austin was in really great shape.

[Swype87]

Wow, who knew that these two would be two of the most popular wrestlers of alltime??? And it's true, eveybody has to start somewhere

[16mdt]

My 2 favorite wrestlers of all time.

[trex6321]

well what do you know a match where the undertaker beat stone cold never thought id see the day

[umaradil86]

what a priceless video

[hassafwaka]

they also mentioned dustin rhodes...golddust

[jackball2]

Call him Mean Mark, call him The Master of Pain, The Punisher, Lord of Darkness, The Phenom, The American BadAss, call him what you want but in the end he will always be known as the Greatest in my book. LONG LIVE THE UNDERTAKER, May all the souls he has defeated REST IN PEACE!!!.........and Austin still and always will be a BMF Bad Mutha F*****

[Albinoafroman316]

@jackball2 You forgot JR called him Red Booger

[ramonphgor]

awesome video truly a classic

[salizarrr]

omg Austin had the Hogan cut lol.

[pod0boq]

Holy crap, what an amazing find this video is!

[shawdawg28]

This must be REALLY early is Austin's career, cause they're calling him Steve Williams, which is his real name.

[sethstafford1991]

Really crappy match. But kinda cool to see taker back then without the tats. He had pretty much the same style

[williwo]

Little did people know that these two would collide again under very different personas at Summerslam 98. Stone Cold went down pretty quick in this match. And Taker's finisher was the Hogan Legdrop, lol. Steve had Taker in one hell of a headlock though.

[klowdy123]

Wow 'Taker without tattoos lol

[ronmower]

This has to be around 89-90 when Austin made his debut. It is good to see how these guys went on to become two of the greatest icons in wrestling.

[RonaldJoseCarlos]

Proof that the Undertaker still does it for me over Steve Austin, Austin is still bad ass though, no doubt about that!

[MrVelozity]

undertaker still uses the same wrestling technic until today

[rbthegame]

this is actually mid 89 because undertaker showed up in wcw in late 89 when he joined the tag team of the skyscrapers

[theraptorfan100]

Does anyone know the date of this? I'm guessing it was first half of 1990?

[NoirFan01]

Undertaker before the tattoos and Austin before baldness.

[TheJross09]

truly the 2 best of all time

[leiscwf]

who would of had thought these two wrestlers will become some the most famous wrestlers to date

[CadillacL]

@leiscwf My thought too. NEVER would imagine.

[hinderrulez100]

this is cool

[jzdb]

lol quick match

[stonecoldcorpse]

austin looks like corey taylor there

[avikbanerjee007]

Austin looked like long haired Jericho at that time....

[prideofasia99]

Wow... Austin was buff back then

[TheRockvsTerra]

wow, austin with hair. O_O

[MrAvenger2]

wow undertaker had his long hair back then huh

[blaze2474life]

the rattle snake austin 3:16 vs the phenmom the undertaker what a classic

[pd9971]

Thanks a lot Diamond Dallas Page!!!!!!!!!
