""Stone Cold Steve Austin What" chronicles Steve Austin's 2001 WWF year through a combined mix of interviews and video footage. In addition to chronicling his year 2001, the video also takes a quick look back at his time in the old WCW. Overall, while the feature can be criticized for its brevity (with a runtime of approximately an hour) it is a decent review of his year 2001.THE FEATURE:The feature reviews the following:

1 - His feud with Triple H during the beginning of 2001, in particular their Match of the Year at No Way Out 20012 - His feud with the Rock for the WWF title 3 - His heel turn4 - His quick feud with Chris Benoit 5 - His lead role in the ill-fated Invasion angle 6 - His awesome feud with Kurt Angle7 - A handful of the comedy sketches he did on WWF TV in 2001 with Vince McMahon and Kurt Angle8 - His appearance on MadTV9 - A quick look at his WCW career as "Stunning Steve" with interviews by Ric Flair and Arn Anderson and footage of Ricky Steamboat and Brian Pillman.10 - How he came up with his "WHAT???" catchphrase (you'll be surprised how it developed).THE DVD FEATURES:WWE is starting to put out better extras on their DVDs. It's good to see they are putting SOME use to the WCW footage they acquired in the buyout. Here's the rundown of the extras on this DVD:1. "Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Triple H" No Way Out 2001. THE Match of the Year of 2001. 2 out of 3 Falls Match (Regular, Street Fight, Steel Cage). Talk about intensity and athleticism. 5 stars.2. Coronation speech from King of the Ring 1996. Witness the birth of "Austin 3:16."3. "Stunning" Steve Austin vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Bash at the Beach 1994. Austin's favorite match against his favorite worker. Actually, from what I understand Austin wanted the match from the Clash of Champions against Steamboat. Oh well. Decent 23 minute bout. 3 ¾ stars4. Extra Interviews: 1) "Origins of 3:16" Austin gives his thoughts on the catchphrase.2) Arn Anderson: 1 minute spot where AA talks about a trip to Japan with Austin.3) Camera Guy: 2 minute spot with the camera guy talking about his relationship with Stone Cold4) Wildlife: 1 minute 30 seconds. Austin talks about his ranch animals.5) "Back on the Ranch": 3 minutes. Austin talks his pets and the types of food and music he likes. THE CRITICISM:While the feature is decent, the one limiting thing about it (and this applies to just about ALL WWF/E DVDs) is the one hour time limit. There is just SOOOO much more that they can include on these but don't. Some of the other things they could have included: 1. More on his WCW career (including more bonus matches). They have the footage.2. His feud with RVD during the Invasion.3. His feud with Booker T.4. More bonus matches.THE VERDICT:Aside from these criticisms, the feature is OKAY. The stuff they do put on is quality and it is a decent watch for Austin/WWE fans. The bonus matches make this a worthwhile viewing/purchase.Recommended"
