On the latest episode of The Steve Austin Show, Austin revealed how WWE initially had planned for him to wear a wrestling singlet while he was ‘The Ringmaster’, working under Ted Debiase. He never put on one and no one in WWE really cared.
“Man, they wanted me to wear a singlet. I said, ‘I ain’t wearing a singlet.’ And when I debuted, I wore those green trunks for a few episodes of TV and I still had my Hollywood Blond boots because I asked them about what I needed to bring. They said, ‘naw, man, just bring your old boots,’ so I knew they didn’t have [any] plans for me […] So anyway, when I knew they really weren’t paying attention, I started wearing my black stuff and I got my black boots and turned it into what I turned it into.”
The rest is history, as Steve Austin is symbolic with his black ring-gear. It is unimaginable to think of him without it.
