Simple yet effective

Steve Austin wasn’t glamorous at all; not even a single bit.

But Bret Hart described his look aptly in his book by saying, "He had such a great look for a heel, with a bald head and menacing eyes that burned a hole through you. He wore simple black trunks with black boots and came across like a real bad-a** son of a bitch. His promos were intense: His Texas talk and ornery look gave him a unique magnetism."
