“I ended up being the baby” – Stone Cold Steve Austin recalls match with fellow WWE Legend

Back in 1996, Steve Austin participated and won the King of the Ring tournament. He would then go on to cut a star making promo on his fallen opponent.

“You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere!” Austin told the born again Jake Roberts. “Talk about your psalms, talk about John 3:16 … Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!

The WWE has been celebrating ‘3:16’ week in honor of the legend. Triple H also took to social media and recalled the scenes leading to their first ever PPV match.

“Our first one on one match on a WWE PPV..(The argument over who would be the heel was epic, lol). This lead to decades of Stunners, pedigrees, incredible crowds, tons of laughs & A LOT of beer (he drank, I mostly wore) Happy #316Day & thanks for years of memories.”

Stone Cold acknowledged the tweet from his former Tag Team Partner and acknowledged that he had outsmarted him. “I remember that match! I ended up being the baby… You outsmarted me! Thanks for the memories. Two man Power Trip ended way too soon..”

Triple H and Stone Cold have a storied history in the WWE. They fought with each other on several occasions including the Three Stages of Hell match at No Way Out in 2001. The two teamed up later that year and became the Two Man Power Trip.

At one point, the two held the WWF Championship (Austin) and the Intercontinental Championship (Triple H) along with WWF Tag Team Championship all at once. The two eventually broke up after Triple H suffered a legitimate injury.
