Just bought Austin’s biography off eBay for 0.99 GBP and have just started reading through it - It’s a great book, but then again Im a fan of any wrestlers autobiography. Anyway… Inside he talks about the formation of the “Hollywood Blonds” tag-team, and explains how Brian Pillman was behind getting their matching trunks, ring jackets etc. He says that Brian bought him a gold chain to wear, Austin states it wasn’t worth much but he loves that damn chain and it carries huge sentimental value because Brain bought it for him as a gift. That chain? The one you’ve see Austin wear over the year in many WWE segments, Now… it’s even reached it’s own figure - featured in the DM Steve Austin. Interesting fact… thought I’d share.  |

Believe it or not I actually knew that, but that's cool of you to post it for those that didn't. I just wish Mattel didn't make the chain so thick.

Thank you Brian Pillman, It shows how much Austin respected Pillman, but why didn't we see Austin on the ramp when they had the tribute vid?
