Stone Cold Steve Austin: Retired, But Still Raising Hell (and Giving Us the Stunner)
Ah, Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake. The man who gave middle fingers a whole new meaning. He was the epitome of cool in the 90s, chugging beers, stunning fools, and battling his arch-nemesis, Vince McMahon, in a never-ending (well, almost never-ending) war. But when did this legend finally hang up his wrestling boots?

The Answer You've Been Stone Cold Stunnin' For: Buckle up, because it's not quite as simple as a single year. Here's the lowdown:
- 2003: Curtain Call for In-Ring Competition: After a string of knee injuries and a nasty neck problem stemming from a botched move in 1997 (thanks a bunch, Owen Hart!), doctors told Stone Cold his in-ring days were over. This was a sad day for all us fans of giving people the double bird.
- But Wait, There's More! Retirement never stopped Steve Austin from being Steve Austin. He continued to make appearances, stunning unsuspecting folks and reminding everyone he was still one bad dude (just not quite as bad in the knees).
- WrestleMania 38: The Rattlesnake Returns! Just in case you thought Austin was content being a talking head, think again. In 2022, he shocked the world with a one-off match at WrestleMania against Kevin Owens. It wasn't a classic, but hey, seeing Stone Cold back in the ring was a blast from the past!
So, the official answer is 2003, but Stone Cold Steve Austin's legacy – and maybe his love for stunning folks – lives on!
