Because Stone Cold was beyond old-school and knew every single aspect of the business and where the money is. When he was told he'd be winning KOTR he immediately started brainstorming about what kind of promo to cut on Roberts, who had a born again Christian gimmick at the time. He knew how to work but more importantly, knew how to work a crowd. Austin stuck out like a sore thumb in McMahon's colorful kiddie era. Everybody was this vibrant cartoon character but Austin in comparison with his black vest, black boots and black tights was real.
