Steve Austin's Final 10 WCW Matches, Ranked Worst To Best

Steve Austin's WWE career will always overshadow his time in WCW. Had it not been for an injury, Steve Austin might have even appeared on an episode of Nitro as he was fired only 3 months before the first episode. His list of accomplishments at WCW is actually fairly long. He held the WCW tag team titles with Brian Pillman (as The Hollywood Blondes) and held the WCW World Television Champion for 329 days.

Despite having a great career in WCW, his final matches with the company were very hit or miss for the future WWE superstar. This list ranks the last 10 televised shows of Steve Austin's WCW career from best to worst.

10 Steve Austin Defeats Tim Horner - WCW Main Event

One of the final matches of Austin's WCW career was a quick win over WCW jobber Tim Horner. The match wasn't a flawless victory for Austin as Horner did lay a few shots from the corner on Austin.

It seems the bout between Austin and Horner only took place to set up Col. Robert Parker's reuniting with his old client, Steve Austin.

9 Steve Austin Defeats Eddie Jackie - WCW Main Event

Austin's last match at WCW was also one of his worst. This WCW Main Event bout between Eddie Jackie and "Stunning" Steve Austin seemed to have the potential to be a "good one" with Austin full of energy as if he knew this would be his last match with the company, but was a dud.

The match ended in one minute after Austin performed an inverted suplex on Jackie sending Austin out of WCW with one final victory.

8 Steve Austin Defeats Steve Hall - WCW Pro

The two have the same first name and that's where the similarities between Steve Hall and Steve Austin ended in this WCW Pro match. The less than 2-minute match was easy work for Austin who just smiled and talked smack (seemingly to himself) the whole match.

This was Steve Hall's only singles match in WCW. Hall spent a large part of his career as a WWE jobber under the ring name "Tom Stone."

7 Steve Austin Defeats Larry McMahan - WCW Prime

In a match completely dominated by "Stunning" Steve Austin, Larry McMahan only got a quick sleeper hold on Austin, which Austin countered into an inverted "stunner." The match landed outside of the ring as Austin threw McMahan threw the ropes like a jobber.

McMahan eventually lost after a piledriver from Steve Austin. The commentary from Dusty Rhodes is also great, especially when he tries to pronounce "McMahan."

6 Steve Austin Defeats Leroy Howard - WCW Worldwide

Many of Austin's last matches against jobbers at WCW seem to show Austin venting his frustration with the company. The commentators even mention Austin's issue with the politics at WCW. In one of his final matches, Austin dominated his 6'2 300-pound opponent, Leroy Howard.

At one point he even talked smack to Howard as he lay on the mat the same way he would one year later when "Austin 3:16" was born.

5 Randy Savage Defeats Steve Austin (WCW United States Heavyweight Title) - WCW Saturday Night

When Austin entered the building saying "can of whoop ass" it was clear this match would be great. Many fans forget this dream match between Randy Savage and Austin even happened. It was the only time the legends ever stepped in the ring together and the match is pretty good.

Savage was ultimately victorious in the last loss of Austin's WCW career, but Bobby Heenan saying "And that’s the bottom line..” from the commentary desk hinted at the bright future for Austin.

4 Alex Wright & Johnny B. Badd Defeat Arn Anderson & Steve Austin - WCW Saturday Night

This DQ almost ended in a clean victory for Alex Wright & Johnny B. Badd over the tag team of Arn Anderson and Steve Austin. Anderson and Austin were no strangers to each other crossing paths multiple times during Austin's run at WCW and even once being managed by Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman) in the Dangerous Alliance.

This match was decently entertaining and was clearly an attempt to get Wright and Badd over.

3 Steve Austin Defeats Jim Duggan - WCW Main Event

Austin always put on great matches when he faced cartoonish opponents in WCW. Opponents like "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan who were cartoonish, but sold the gimmick with every move in the ring were especially fun to see Austin fight. The two put on a good bout in the last match Austin and Duggan would ever compete in at WCW Main Event.

Austin was so dominant in his later matches that this was actually a truly refreshing back and forth that ended when Col. Robert Parker helped hold down Duggan for the pinfall victory.

2 Alex Wright, Sting & The Renegade Defeat Arn Anderson, Ric Flair & Steve Austin by DQ - WCW Main Event

This match proves Austin would've been a great Horseman. The dream heel tag team of Arn Anderson, Ric Flair & "Stunning" Steve Austin was the last tag match of Austin's WCW career. Sting was on the other side of the ring carrying his tag team that featured The Renegade and Alex Wright. Sting was the MVP of this match dominating everyone.

The bout ended via DQ after a brawl broke out among the teams, but is still a fun watch when you consider this was the only time the three legends (Arn, Austin, and Flair) ever teamed up.

1 Sting Defeats Steve Austin - WCW Saturday Night

The last time Austin fought Sting was also the best match the two ever had. Although Austin was unable to score the victory in the almost 13-minute bout, the two put on a clinic against each other. The room for error between the two stars was nonexistent. The two reversed piledrivers back to back and a rope break ended what was assured to be sure doom for Austin.

The roll-up ending was extremely anti-climactic, but the match overall was great. If the match took place two years later it would've been one of the biggest matches in wrestling history.
