A Wal-Mart
in Greensburg, Ind., had "Stone Cold" Steve Austin signing autographs for $10. It was realized soon into the session
that the guy was not actually Austin, but a look-a-like. When police were called, the man and his manager left in the same
beat-up car they arrived in. The local police are investigating, but the look-a-like did pocket the money.

Vince McMahon and Steve are on good terms.
Even if Austin can never come back to wrestle a heavy schedule, his personality is such that
he will be able to be a major player in terms of selling pay per views and merchandise. Austin is a huge cash cow for the

piledriver. Somehow, Austin manages to pull out the SummerSlam victory to claim the Intercontinental Championship.

too pleased with the Austin/domestic-abuse issue, the WWE lockerroom generally disagrees with that sentiment.

he was unjustly dragged into." The general belief amongst Austin's friends and coworkers is that Austin had broken
up with Tess two weeks before the incident,(credit prowrestling.com)
