Stone Cold Steve Austin is an extremely popular wrestler. In fact, Austin was a megastar as well as the company's face during the 'Attitude Era' i.e. during the mid and late 90s and early 2000s. Stone Cold's popularity helped WWE then known as WWF in earning a lot of revenue. Steve Anderson's persona of 'Stone Cold Steve Austin' turned out to be a huge blockbuster back in the day and even today he continues to be one of WWE's most electrifying superstars. Not only as a hero, but Austin was also accepted very well as a heel by the wrestling fans. 'The Texas Rattlesnake' has feuded with eminent superstars including the likes of Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Brett Hart, Kane, The Undertaker, Big Show, The Rock, etc. Just like Austin's rivalry with Rock, his rivalry with HHH is also very famous.

However, Austin had met Triple H backstage and had also presented a special gift to 'The Game'. The former WWF Champion presented 'Hunter' with a framed photo of one of the iconic bands, Motorhead whom Triple H has a good association with. In fact, HHH was very close to Lemmy Kilmister, who was the founder of the band. Lemmy passed away in 2015. Motorhead has worked on some of 'The Cerebral Assasin's hit entrance songs which include 'King of Kings', 'The Game' and 'Line in the Sand' (when Triple H was the leader of Evolution).  Triple H took to social media and shared the special gift which was shared by Austin.
