"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN
This is by no means a complete, indepth biography on Steve; there are a lot of Steve Austin websites out there that can tell you more than I probably ever could. If you'd like to add or correct something here, e-mail me


* Born Steven Williams on December 18th, 1964 in Victoria, Texas. His parents divorced and his mother re-married

* Has three brothers and a sister. Their father taught all the kids to hunt

* Was trained by, and feuded with, Chris Adams. His second wife, Jeanie (who later became Steve's valet "Lady Blossom") was married to Chris but left him for Steve. Together they have two little girls, and I believe Jeanie and Chris have a daughter from their relationship...?
