Today, the wrestling world celebrated “3:16 Day” with various tributes and montages for WWE Hall of Famer and quite arguably the greatest WWE Superstar of all-time, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Triple H and Austin both reflected on their first match together, which took place in October 1996 at “In Your House: Buried Alive”. Here is what both men had to say about their first encounter:
Triple H wrote:
“Our first one on one match on a @WWE PPV..(The argument over who would be the heel was epic, lol). This lead to decades of Stunners, pedigrees, incredible crowds, tons of laughs & A LOT of beer (he drank, I mostly wore) Happy #316Day & thanks for years of memories @steveaustinBSR”
Austin responded to the post, retweeting it and adding:
“I remember that match! I ended up being the baby… You outsmarted me! Thanks for the memories. Two man Power Trip ended way too soon..”
