ECW was one extreme contradiction piled on top of another. It was an incredibly influential company in the world of professional wrestling during the 1990s, yet it was never profitable. It portrayed itself as the ultimate in anti-authority rebellion, but its leadership was, at various points, working covertly with the two wrestling giants, the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. Most of all, it blurred the line between real life and the fantasy world of professional wrestling like no other company before it.

Brings back memory's
- By Anonymous User on 12-22-17
Publisher's Summary
Steve grew up in a small town in Texas. Always a fan of wrestling, Steve seized the chance to study it at a school in Dallas. His ability to take the bumps and hard falls required by his new profession, and his never-say-die attitude, connected him with the fans and his fellow wrestlers. His capricious firing by the WCW, World Championship Wrestling, lead to his being hired by World Wrestling Entertainment.
However, it was Steve's own ability inside the ring and his quick-witted responses that lead to his becoming one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time. It seemed nothing could stop the Texas Rattlesnake, except himself. In 2001 Steve's life seemed to spiral out of control and he walked away from it all. Now, with his triumphal return to the world of professional wrestling, he is finally ready to tell his story, his, way.
The Stone Cold Truth is an unvarnished take on his life, his loves, and his days as a wrestler told in a way that only he could, and you know it's the truth "'cause Stone Cold says so!"

Good overview of Steves career
The performances are fine. The story is a little light. You can get all of this and more in his podcast but you would have to sift through hundreds of hours of audio to do so. If you know wrestling "theory" and you listen to Steves podcast this will be a repeat mostly for you. About 5-10% of the story is new material for me. If you want to spend a couple of hours to relive the attitude era with the toughest SOB in wrestling, it's a fun ride.

The Toughest S.O.B in the ring but not the books
Would you try another book from the authors and/or Steve Austin?
I know this is a little too late but I have to say if he does make a new one on his own and of course. Steve Austin is a master of his mic.
What other book might you compare The Stone Cold Truth to and why?
Just like Roman Rain Mic skill in the ring, its heavy scripted and not themselves.
What about Steve Austin’s performance did you like?
Steve did amazing reading what was given to him. I wish it was more of him than WWE.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Stone Cold Truth?
The Book and let Steve DO his magic without no one telling him what to say or read
Any additional comments?
Does not do Steve Austin Justice..

For those who grew up watching stone cold in the ring, this was fun and entertaining to read and listen to. Steve does an excellent job reading with tons of emotion and gives a genuine feel in his explanations. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loved wrestling in the 90s
