Steve Austin breaks Masahiro Chono's neck
Loading...
Uploaded by Larmore on Aug 25, 2008
On September 23rd, 1992, "Stunning" Steve Austin challenged Masahiro Chono for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at New Japan Pro Wrestling's "Battle Hold Arena" event. Towards the end of the match, Chono was going to deliver a tombstone piledriver on Austin, but Austin reversed it and spiked Chono right on his head. Chono was never the same, and the injury is primarily why he adopted a more brawling-based style of wrestling and became the "Black Charisma" heel we all remember and love today.
Ironically enough, Steve Austin would suffer a broken neck the SAME EXACT WAY nearly 5 years later at the hands of the late Owen Hart on August 3, 1997 at WWF SummerSlam. Creepy karma? Definitely.

@EdSoulman Dull and forgettable my ass. Dislike Hart for botching a move that Austin did to someone else years prior, but don't let your bias blind you to reality. Austin was a floundering mid-carder drawing dead air from the crowds before Vince McMahon sculpted him into a superstar.

Did he really break this guy's neck, and Owen did the exact same thing to him?
Karma is a son of a bitch!
-
How ironic. Such a legend as Chono got his in-ring actions greatly limited, and Austin suffered the same fate...
-
@EdSoulman lol where did this come from

OWEN 3:16
I JUST BROKE YOUR NECK
-
@EdSoulman You know very little about wrestling. Your comment is proof of that.
-
oh shit...that looked painful.
-
@EdSoulman revisionist history at its finest
-
Most piledrivers land on the ass aside from the tombstone. Paul Orndorrf, Shawn Michaels etc etc.

Owen was dull and forgettable. Technically he might have been a better wrestler than Owen, but that's only one factor of being a wrestler. Austin had catchphrases that are more memorable than Owens entire career before Over the Edge.

Whoa whoa hold on a sec. How many here have read stone colds book? In that book he was very critical of Owen saying stuff like "and why did he drop on his ass? I have never seen anyone do a tombstone and land on their ass instead of their knees"
lol...ahh steve
