He earned that check for saving Vince’s business.
Wcw fucked up astronomically bad 😂
@@meangravy9286Steve kicked Bischoff right in the balls when the Stone Cold character blew up.
@@meangravy9286They weren’t smart enough to create something like the stone cold gimmick anyway
@@pepstalynn well deserved
@@noneyabidness196 true,they weren’t as good in that department as the wwf
He deserved every penny. As a life-long WWF/WWE fan, names such as Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, The Rock, and Stone Cold are synonymous with WWE/WWF.
Absolutely stone cold was the best. He knew what the people wanted. Absolute legend.
Austin basically saved the WWF
How dare you forget the Big Red Machine!!!😂
@@jamesonpenguin Kane? It's a pass for me...😂
Ultimate Warrior was pretty big with his run !!
There's probably no piece of merchandise more synonymous with WWF/WWE than an Austin 3:16 piece of gear.
Uhh try ANYTHING associated with Hulk Hogan or Hulkamania
You can try anything and its still the Austin 3:16 shirt@DXOWNSNWO
You spelt 'R Truths Judgement Day' merch wrong...
@@DXOWNSNWOHogan never sold what Stone Cold sold
@@frankd7018But Bret Hart did. And even more.
And till this day he’s still a top 3 merch seller unbelievable
This blows my mind .... well not really but you get what im saying man the true goat of all of wrestling stands the test time shit my favorite austin t shirt is the red skull one he wore leading up to WMX7
I seen some the other day he’s not too three hes on top
@alanbett8172 I think Cena overtook him in 2016, but I could be wrong.
@@SauceOnChickenBallCena sold more T-shirts than Austin at the time maybe. But that was at the end of 10 years of super Cena. Austin retired 20 years ago and is still a top merch seller. The 3:16 shirt is the biggest selling wrestling shirt of all time.
He is the number one merch seller even till today
Stone cold IS the attitude era
No doubt...100 percent
Yeh Austin 3:16 was the beginning of it
The 'Michael Jordan' of merch sales
@@xierotron
The seeds were Bret and McMahnon. Austin and Rock were the first and biggest trees.
1 million percent
If Vince handed that check over so easily that mean Vince was making triple or quadruple what he gave Steve off that merchandise.
Probably even more than that honestly.
When someone sells a house as a real estate agent, they typically get 3%, imagine if that is a similar kind of agreement.
I’d imagine he got somewhere around 10% but honestly not sure. That would be a good ‘maven podcast’ episode.
@griffsfurnitureemporium5487 a while back I saw that Rey was getting 6% and he was a top merch seller because of his masks
Duh
@@griffsfurnitureemporium5487house sales used, and maybe still is broke into 4 categories... Listing agent gets 1.75%, their company gets 1.75, seller got 1.75, their company got 1.75. The way to make money was being an independent contractor and listing properties... you got 3.5% when the house sold... if you listed and sold it, that's when you got 7%
@@butch5419 Such a intelligent response.
Those shirts really were EVERYWHERE
Still are & I still have mine 😊
Still see em in the wild every once in awhile.
Hell yeah....back then in high school everyone had one. Even some of the teachers
I remember as teenager walking through the mall and seeing them in stores you wouldn't think off. Target, Walmart ok but there was a Macy's and a Nordstrom that had them front and center.
Earned every dollar of it
The likes are at 3:16 ooh hell yeah
@@tsmhlongo1840 lets keep it that way
Austin always stood up for himself and wasn’t afraid of confronting Vince, and I think Vince always respected him for that
Vince never respected anyone. He was scared of that check walking out the door
Yes. That's how Kofi got his push, Vince wanted to see if he would stand up to him. Kofi confronted Vicne and it paid off.
He gave him a few stunners as well
If he respected Steve, Steve wouldn't had to confront him to get the money owed to him Vince would have done it from the start and not trying to rob him.
@@TimmyPruitt166that’s not how real men operate.
You want what’s coming to you, you not only have to earn it you have to say what you want as well.
Not sure what world you live in, but you’re obviously extremely beta if you expect the world you roll over and give you anything. Even if you’ve earned you, you gotta be a man and say what you’re working for.
He still sells alot of Merch. Continuing his legend
A seven or eight figure QUARTERLY royalty check😮
Yea that will be lost on a lot of people 😂
$1-2 million dollar royalty checks in the 90s
@@louiohe said 7 or 8 figures today meaning it had to be over like 5 mill. Which is wild
Stone Cold made the Attitude Era fun to watch. He deserves every penny!!
“Steve what do you think we should do?”
That one question was so valuable
That question was utter bs. WTF you mean what we should do?! He knew that whole time he was being short changed. Typical boss.
"we need to give me the gawdam money i deserve"
@@infinidominion "this"
#1 merchandise seller in pro wrestling all time❤
Facts then Cena, & Punk,Stone Cold done made over 20m’s alone and that’s not even talking about now in 2024💯
NWO is top runner
Idk them nwo shirts sold just as much
He said all time. He is still a top 3 seller to this day.@bruceaskew2107
@@bruceaskew2107 note even close never seen a NWO shirt in the UK seen plenty 3:16 tho
Well earned sir. I still see those shirts to this day.
Because they still in the WWE shop.
@@LOTW1that’s the point he’s earned it
In the late 90s you would see them everywhere you went. Just imagine how much money those shirts made. Austin will forever be my favorite wrestler of all time.
That shirt had so much legend and lore around it. There wasn’t much internet back then. So when I bought it in 5th grade, I was told he wrestled in a match at King Of The Ring that went 3hrs and 16minutes.
😂😂
Lol😂
Greatest of all time.
Worked his ass off for that check.
Lool 7 figures in merch! Insane, all earnt through hard work and talent, how can you not adore him
He absolutely earned it
I knew in the late 90's that Stone Cold was getting huge when i saw a 3:16 shirt at a Walmart. 25 years ago that was a big deal.
Still got my original Austin 3:16 with the New Gen WWF logo on the back before the scratch logo. Perfect condition. GOAT shirt.
I had a Faded one. Wore it to death then sold it 🎉
WHAT?!
Steve's t shirts have to be number one all time in merchandise sales ❤❤ more power to Steve Austin its really a rags to riches story hes a real life Rocky Balboa story about the American dream❤
Holy shit, 8 figures?! And I still got mine to this day
In 1990s no less.
Seven figures, probably eight figures “now”? Not sure if he’s talking inflation, or still getting these today
@@aylberthes still the no 1 guy in t shirt sales
@@aylbertthey still sell his shirts so he is still getting checks. And he is one of if not the top sellers on the store even now.
Mine has a hole in it from a fight I got in.
Jim Ross once said in an interview the largest single cheque he made out was for one million dollars, and it was for Stone Cold's merch that month.
That's just funny money. Not even counting his salary or what he might have gotten for ppv bonus, etc. Just his merch alone.
And most likely Vince still short changed him
Sometimes you have to speak up to get what you deserve.
Squeaky wheel gets the oil..sometimes people don't know to fix it if noone says it's broken
Hardest life lesson to learn. @@troyrichardson8787
Vince was holding the check to give it to him
If Vince didn't give him what he wanted, Steve would have gone back to WCW and taken all of his fans with him. 😅 💲💲💲💲
Austin deserved what was coming to him. He was a rookie of the year breakthrough wrestler. Took him a few years to find a gimmick and then it was legendary.
Stone cold been my favorite wrestler since i was a kid Hes of the Greatest ever
I remember Austin 3:16 shirts were EVERYWHERE! I still have won. Then every so often a new Stone Cold shirt would come out. They were all really cool
And he earned every fucking penny of it! Thank you for shaping my childhood
I had an Austin 3:16 hat and shirt back in 2001. Best WWF merchandise EVER!
I still have my “What?” shirt from 2002. Fits brilliantly and in stellar condition. Wearing it tonight!!
Legendary The G.O.A.T. 🐐 and my Favorite All Time Favorite Stone Cold Steve Austin 3:16 💀
Stone Cold is definitely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time
DTA
AUTIN 3:16
And a few more. Austin was a an underappreciated businessman
He single handily made wrestling cool
That man has sold every much of merchandise has anyone else has ever done plus he save the company and 98. If it wasn’t for him there will be no company now.
I was in High school when the attitude Era in full effect. 3:16, NWO, & DX. You saw a lot in mid 90s
That was our Golden Age. Anyone remember when you could watch WCW and the Raw 4 hours of wrestling couldn't be beaten
The fact that Austin even had to address that to Vince is sad enough
Scott Hall said the percentages for merchandising royalties were part of the reason for him going to WCW. He said that he asked McMahon how he can make more money. There were no guaranteed contracts at the time and Hall being in the upper mid card, wasn't making main event money. So he said he suggested a small percentage increase on the merch royalties. Vince refused. And we know Hall's merch didn't sell remotely near the amounts as Austin's.
Vince was hoping that Steve wouldnt say anything but if he did, Vince new exactly the number that he could live with.
what great story never heard before!
I still have an Austin 3:16 T-shirt.
My favorite wrestler as a kid growing up.
The man came up with his best slogan all by himself. He deserves a higher % because of it.
I will drink a beer to that. BIG BANK AUSTIN 🤣👍🇺🇸
Good for him, Steve earned every penny ❤
And thats the bottom line because Stone Cold said so
My favorite wrestler. Of all time!!!
He was my Favorite in 90s til his last match
its slightly ironic even SUPERSTARS like Austin had to fight for every nickel.
Vince doesn’t get enough credit for not handing over what the performers deserve.
Hell of a wrestler! Hell of a business man!!! And just one hell of a well rounded man. Loved watching him in WWF/E and beyond that with his shows!
What's more amazing is that it's a simple white font on a black shirt. Keeping the costs down even more.
Bro had me thinking Vince Gilligan w that breaking bad music 😂
He came up with the idea for the expression, the shirt, sold it and deserved a huge percentage of the royalties.
Good for him.
Truth be told, he really blossomed after he was fired by WCW and worked for ECW. His best shoot interviews were in ECW.
There’s nothing wrong with asking for more royalties. He deserves it
There’s 2 Morals here: “know your worth” and “pay your people”
Stone cold single handedly was wwf
saved wwf, made an era of wrestling one of the best ever. and created one of the most iconic characters ever. earned every cent
I’m glad that he advocated for himself.
as a 35yrs old a long time wwf/ Stone Cold fan, this guy is why we all sat glued to the tv by 10min before 9 waiting to see who he's about to open a can a whoop ass.. had vince said no to stone cold for the merchandise, I'd give him stunner after stunner after... he deserved every penny
Black Shirt, White Letters. Million Dollar cheque.
He is probably still getting those checks. His merch will never not sell
Fuck fear, drink beer tshirt gotta be one of the top pieces of merch they've ever sold.
I know people who have multiple of his shirts. An old one for yard work, another older one for sleep/lounging, and and newer one to go out in.
His most popular t-shirt must of sold close to 20 million at this point and that’s insane for a piece of wrestling merch
bro the mcdonalds beeping in the back had me so distracted. I was like "TF IS THAT COMING FROM"
He always said that Vince is a man of his word.
Even today those shirts are still in the top 10 The most popular merchandise WWE has ever sold.
And rightfully so. I got back into wrestling because of him. Went to Royal Rumble in San Jose and Tyson was right above me
Tyson was a big fan of his main man Cold Stone
He single handedly made wrestling main stream his entire wwf run and created many stars. Give em a blank check and theyll still owe him money.
The era of Austin was truly the golden age. His feud with McMahon is prob the greatest rivalry all time. That shirt was everywhere.
Notice how Vince didn't try to rob him..He ask Steve what we should do
Even now at Clash at the Castle 2022 almost 2 decades after he retired they still had "Cardiff 3:16" T-shirts for sale. I bought 2.
Steve Austin went from “you’re never goin be a star kid” to Defining an era and basically being an American pop culture hero
Funny how Vince was able to do it for Steve austin but when Scott hall asked a few years earlier Vince said no way. Leading to 2 of his top guys leaving and creating his biggest opposition in the nwo.
Deserved it. Him, Rock, Taker and HHH saved that promotion
When I was a kid him and the rock were the only merch I really wanted
Hulk would have sold more but it was near impossible to get unless you went to a live show.
If by any chance anybody needs to understand how popular that shirt is, just think to the fact that to this day, 25 years later, this shirt is still always on top 10/top 5 most sold shirts every year. Austin was on another level
No tshirt ever sold more than the Austin 316 shirt i saw it everin the late 90s it was crazy
That KOR 1996 promo is the best promo to me off all time a star was bout to shine after that.
Stone Cold Steve Austin single handedly saved the WWF and Vince knew it.
I had at least 5 stone cold shirts and 3 rock shirts when i was a kid. My goats
When you hear the glass, that's your ass! 💀👊
Gay
I have all his shirts. He deserved every penny!! I miss Stone Cold.
Him and rock my favorites
stone cold made the attitude era, probably saved the wwe from financial ruins. he earned it then some
Scsa is the number one reason i kept watching wrestling for a long as i did
Steve manned up and asked for his worth. 🔥
Stone cold is one of the highest sellers to this day!
That red letter Austin 3:16 shirt was my favorite. Clean af.
Stone Cold Steve Austin's shirts are always one of the best from the WWF merchandise
from April 98 ---- November 99 austins cut was £15 million ( hiuse shows , ppv , merchandise). incredable
😂😂 Vice probably said that about a lot of top wrestlers I’ve never given anyone this much before 😂😂 but Stone definitely deserves it
Man I remember it seemed like every other person you saw back then had an Austin 316 shirt.
I can't imagine how much he made if those shirts were available to everyone. I had to buy a fake one and never saw an actual one when i was a kid
Still the number 1 merch seller. Absolutely insane
The man deserves every damn cent!
I still have my original black and white Austin 3:16 t-shirt with the white skull on the back. Prolly picked it up around 1997ish. I still wear it out to the bar a few times a year and people always comment something about it. I will never get rid of it.
