Synopsis by Steve Blackburn

This program profiles and hypes World Wrestling Federation star "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, from his high school football days to his apotheosis in the billion-dollar sports-entertainment industry. Also discussed are an accident that paralyzed him, Austin's decision to become a pro wrestler (and change his name from Steve Williams to Steve Austin), and the origin of his nom de guerre, "Stone Cold." Highlights include photos of the wrestler as a baby and a teenager. The program also shows the business side of the wrestling industry, an enterprise that lauds Austin for being "a merchandising money-making machine." Vince McMahon and other WWF dramatis personae appear in the program.
