Stone Cold Steve Austin has an interesting story about his name
When The Texas Rattlesnake came to WWE, he needed a new name. However, he couldn’t come up with something that quite suited the character.
He obsessed over it for a while, but finally, it was his wife who made him have a breakthrough. Apparently, she had served him a hot beverage, but his mind wandered and he didn’t drink it while it was warm. As a result, she urged him to finish it before it became stone cold.
