Stone Cold Crazy Episode 1: March 1996 Bones cracking. Joints popping. A man screaming at the top of his lungs. Sounds like fun… almost as much fun as the new series on GRAPPL. Matty and Gareth switch gear from the pink & black of Bretro to the black trunks, bald head, goatee and… errr… white boots as they go STONE COLD CRAZY. They’ll be reviewing each month in the career of Stone Cold Steve Austin and episode 1 starts in March 1996, with the Ringmaster in the rear view mirror and Fang McFrost in the bin. Join them on the journey as they revisit the rise of the rattlesnake, starting with the Savio Vega feud and STEVE’s first WrestleMania. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
