J.R. on 'The Legacy of Stone Cold'
While our fans must wait until Feb. 12 to get their hands on a copy of The Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Jim Ross tells WWE.com why the DVD is an essential for every fan’s collection.
“This DVD follows 'Stone Cold’ Steve Austin’s career from his days in World Class Championship Wrestling, to WCW, to ECW, to WWE. Each match and interview were personally endorsed by Stone Cold himself to be a part of this must-have DVD,” the Raw announcer explained.
“Every minute of this three-disc set is of utmost, personal importance to [Stone Cold,] the most intense competitor many sports-entertainment aficionados have ever seen,” J.R. added. “When viewing this DVD, one can take a peek inside the mind of the Texas Rattlesnake that few have ever had the opportunity to do.”
According to the WWE Hall of Fame announcer – whom Austin himself inducted back in April 2007 – Stone Cold’s work ethic and pride were something our fans, no matter their ethnicity or nationality, could relate to.
“He has unrelenting passion to be the very best performer to ever step into a wrestling ring; a mental and physical toughness that resonated to every fan in any arena or those watching on TV anywhere around the globe,” J.R. explained.
Making this collection even more special is that it has been given the personal stamp of approval from a ring icon who our fans – and especially Austin's enemies – know can be notoriously difficult to please.
“Austin fans can see what matches, which moments and what opponents were personally valued by Stone Cold himself. Not one minute of this DVD would have been included if Stone Cold did not think they were significant moments in his Hall of Fame career.”
