Debra & Steve Austin

When it came to wrestling in the late 1990s, there was no one more popular than Steve “Stone Cold” Austin, who is still considered to be the best wrestler that the WWE has ever produced. His marriage to Debra, another WWE grappler, came at the height of his celebrity at the time of his pinnacle. It was between 1998 and 2003 that they were married. At the time, they were both champions of the firm, yet their marriage came to an end when he physically beat her on multiple occasions. She later determined that it was due to his steroid-induced mood swings.
