One cannot be old and experienced without first being young and inexperienced. Now, the latter isn’t a bad thing, but it becomes rather prominent when put in the ring with someone much better. Hence, when Stone Cold Steve Austin took on The Undertaker in USWA, it was much different from what Austin can do now.

Currently, he is credited as the man who led WWE through its most successful era – The Attitude Era!

Recently, Stone Cold uploaded a photograph with Rod Price on social media as he reminisced about his time with his old tag team partner. He revealed that both of them got the opportunity to work with USWA, but only Steve Austin (a name given to him by USWA booker Dutch Mantell) went ahead with it.

In the comments section, a fan asked him about his match against The Undertaker in USWA and what he felt about it. According to Steve Austin, it could have been better had he been more experienced.

The Undertaker was ‘The Punisher’ in USWA

Today, the pro-wrestling industry knows Mark Calaway as The Undertaker. Vince McMahon created a character that went down in history as one of the most popular ones.

But, before he came to WWE as The Undertaker, he was working in USWA as ‘The Punisher’. This character was never as famous as The Phenom was. Moreover, he had a mask that prevented him from showing any facial expression to the audience.
