Debra & Steve Austin

During the late ‘90s, there was no wrestler more popular than Steve “Stone Cold” Austin, who is still arguably the best wrestler that WWE has ever seen. During the peak of his fame, he was married to another WWE grappler called Debra. Their marriage lasted from 1998 until 2003. They were both champions of the company back then, although the marriage came to an end after he physically abused her on numerous occasions. She eventually attributed it to his steroid-related mood swings.
