Rive evidently and incredibly received permission from Austin to use the routine after winning Steve Austin Lookalike contest.
Even Colder was a replica of Stone Cold, flipping the crowd off, swilling beer and even using the same finisher.
How good he was at the routine would be debatable. In some places, he was wildly cheered by the people, but in others he was scoffed at as a poor man's rip-off of a popular shtick.
It is very sad that he has passed away we were great friend we knew him from pww with john potok he lived up the street from him when his daughters were younger. He will be missed but not forgotten
ReplyDeleteMike and I worked together a lot here in the Midwest and got to be pretty good friends. He always got a big reception whenever we were together and many times even I would be a recipient of a Stunner from him. I will miss him
ReplyDeleteLate.tk the party on this one. Anyways, I met him at a fair in Michigan in like 2006. He was willing to give me a stunner for the camera. Really cool guy.
