I'm glad you're very good at history, but have you ever considered playing basketball? I think by the looks of it you'd be good at it!

Hey Stone Cold! Thank you so much for doing this AMA. To say you were a hero to me growing up is a massive understatement. You have meant so much to me and helped me get through a lot of tough times. When it was announced on /r/wwe that you would be doing an AMA on July 19th I became light headed and was shaking nervously. I couldn’t believe it!

I grew up in a rough situation, I couldn’t do too much outside of soccer due to the financial situation my family was in. I grew up with an abusive father and my mother who couldn’t do much. I tried to stay out of trouble as much as I could and keep my mouth shut as much as possible. I remember when Vince McMahon came out in 1997 and announced the new era. I prayed my parents did not see it to deprive me of the only thing I truly looked forward to as a young boy. The thing I could not live without was watching Monday Night Raw during the Monday Night wars you had with WCW. I remember the Montreal Screwjob and the rivalries with Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart was so kickass!

However whenever I watched it, I did get a bit of sadness. I grew up wanting to be a professional wrestler. To imagine the pops the wrestlers got and I realized something.. I couldn’t be one. A lot of the wresters were either 1. From wrestling families like The Hart family, Rakishi, the Hart family and so on or 2. Had some sort of mysticism about them like the Undertaker, Sting or 3. Just had amazing pushes to them due to their super human ability like Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan. But to me, you were different. I still remember when you came back one night after having your neck broken by Owen Hart, you were really a superhero to me.

You left the WCW and came to WWF as a beer guzzling hell raising madman straight out of Texas. Quickly the sounds of gongs, guitar riffs and other beginning entrances didn’t mean nearly as much to me as the sound of shattering glass. (In fact, I know you are a busy man, but a lot of my posts involve you in them and giving everyone a stunner!) I used to mark out so hard whenever you came out, I will never forget this night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3IwiZmDdU – it was the most incredible night of my life. The night Raw finally wrecked Nitro in the viewer rankings! Even to this day at 22 years of age. Mainly because, my uncle took me there. :)

I don’t want to take up more of your time, since this is an AMA and I had to pre-type my response as to not get in trouble at work. Sorry for this not being a question, but I’m literally shaking typing this because of how much you meant to me growing up. And even if you don’t read this I want to say – thank you. Thank you so much for being what I needed when I was a little boy growing up in Pittsburgh, ironically where you heel turned during Invasion but I still loved you, but anyways I’ll cut this short now.

I took this picture before going to work today. This is not the first time I wear my Austin 3:16 shirt and hat, I took this before work this morning (since it is Casual Friday). http://imgur.com/jlDJHWf

Whenever someone asks me, “Really? Stone Cold Steve Austin from the 90s is your hero?” I tell them, “Hell yeah. And that’s the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so!”

I hope you have a great AMA session. :)

Second happiest day of my life.

Is it true that the Krusty Krab pizza, is the pizza for you and me?

Then you realize it's a giant rat! :)
