Steve Austin is known to millions of fans over the world, and Austin cemented his place as a pop culture icon during the Attitude Era.
During the Monday Night Wars another bald headed man with a goatee named Goldberg rose to prominence in WCW, and during a recent episode of Bailey and Southside Austin talked about what it was like when fans would mistakenly call him Goldberg.
“Well, when I was coming up and really starting to get hot in WWF back in the day, and Bill down in WCW, he started getting hot almost at the same time — boy, ‘Goldberg!’ chants. Bill is one of my best friends that I’ll call all the time,” Austin noted. “I’d be going through airports, and people would yell, ‘Goldberg!’ He would be going through an airport. ‘Stone Cold!’ People got us confused all the time.”
“If you puts us side by side, Bill is a bigger guy than I am, but if you just see a bald-headed dude with a goatee and some sunglasses on, it’s pretty easy to get fooled by who it is.”
