Chapter 1 : How It All Began
I waved and smiled over to some of crew with my free hand as I walked through the backstage area of the FleetCenter in Boston, Massachusetts, I feel the warm air as I walk, it's nearly September of 2007 as fall is coming in quick.
Not, if any Superstar's have arrived yet as it's only around 10 in morning and they don't arrive sometimes till the afternoon.
I continue walking a hallway dragging my little suitcase behind me on its wheels and my blonde shoulder length hair gently bouncing off my shoulders as I walk, I start turning my head quickly from one side of the hall to another scanning the doors to find my 'office' for the night. I slowed down my pace and sighed happily when I stopped and stood in front of a door using my bright blue eyes to read seeing it with my name and title on it.
I reached over the handle placing my hand gently on it before pushing it down and pushing the door open before stepping inside and wheeling my suitcase over the couch before picking it and placing in the leather couch. I open up one of the little compartments and take out the little case that holds my reading glasses, with them in my hand I make my way over to my desk where I see a script for tonight's show laying on it.
I make my way round the other side of the desk and sit in the very comfortable leather chair before opening the case I still have in my hand, pulling out the contents and sliding the arms over my ears so the glass covers my eyes, I pick the book up and begin reading through it.
Let me fill you in a little bit…….
My name is Emma Marie Williams but round here I'm known as Emma Austin, yep that's right I'm Stone Cold Steve Austin's baby and only sister both in the WWE and also in real life. I was born on March 31st 1980 in the Citizen's Medical Centre in Victoria, Texas.
My mom and dad Ken and Beverley Williams live in a little town called Edna which is just south of Victoria and is where I grew up with my 4 brothers Scott, Steve, Kevin and Jeff then there's me, I'm the baby of the family. While my brothers now all live in either different parts of Texas or another state, my folks still live in Edna to this day while I actually moved and found a nice little apartment in Victoria when I made it big.
As a kid I was so shy you wouldn't believe I was alive at times but the older I got the more open I became and then I.. well let's just say you'll see how I became. I love and am proud of all my brothers but one day I became even closer to Steve as something brought us closer together.
It was in 1989 I just got home from school and walked into the living room to find Steve sitting on the couch watching some tapes, he was staring at the tv concentrating on whatever it was he was watching. I stood and watched him slightly from the doorway before walking over to him…
January 1989
Edna, Texas
"Hey Steveo, what you watching?" I said happily skipping over to him and climbing on his lap wrapping my arms around his neck and lying my legs over his. You see I have nicknames for everyone I love apart from my parents, they might only be simple but if I love you, you have a nickname and I've called Steve Steveo fro as long as I can remember.
"Hey kiddo, how was school?" he asked me glancing at me before turning his attention back to the tv.
Smiling at the nickname he gave me when I was 3 and he was 15 as he is 12 years older than I am. I looked at over at the tv before turning back to him.
"Ok I guess" I sighed, I wasn't a big fan of school. His face turned to concern as he looked at me.
"Someone picked on ya?" he asked as I smiled at his big brother tone and shook my head, his face softened.
"No, just can't stand school!" I laughed and he smiled
"I know but it's important" he stated and I nodded agreeing before we both turned our attention to the tv. I glanced before turning back to him.
"You didn't answer my question before" I giggled and he looked back at me with his blue eyes.
"Oh..I uh erm I'm watching wrestling" he stuttered, I was a little confused as to why he was all nervous or embarrassed. I smiled at him to make him feel easy.
"Cool" I simply stated to him still smiling before we both turned our attention back to the tv and watched in silence for a while. I couldn't help but be intrigued by what was going on, I know i as only 9 years old but I enjoyed watching 2 men move around grappling in a ring.
"Emma" I heard my brother say from my right, I turned my head and looked at him with my own blue eyes
"Yeah" I smiled
"What would you say if I decided I wanna do this, you know for a living?"
"What you wanna be a wrestler Steveo?" I asked curiously and he nodded "That would be so great, you know I will support you no matter what you do" I smiled back at him, I was only 9 but I was pretty grown up for my age and that was because of 4 guys who always looked out for me.
He smiled at me and began telling me all about how he's was soon gonna be starting to train in Dallas at the famous Sportatorium.
From that day on I fell in love with the sport they now call sports entertainment and became my big brother's number 1 fan.
I would ask my dad to take me to Dallas on weekends to watch Steve perform in the ring and then later we would travel when I wasn't at school all over to watch him wrestle.
I loved Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man Randy Savage as a kid then eventually The Undertaker as when I became a fan there were not many women on TV for me to look up to but later on women began to wrestle on TV like the Fabulous Moolah. I always watched all the local broadcasts which my brother would eventually become apart of aswell as all the big time shows.
On a personal note 1992 was the year Steve welcomed his first daughter Stephanie into the world and I was so excited to be an aunt even at 12 I loved that little girl and promised to be the best aunt ever!!
Round about the age of 13 I realised I would love to follow in Steve's footsteps and at this time he was in WCW and doing quite well for himself, and possibly become a wrestler late in my life. It then became a dream of mine to one day step into the squared circle.
A year later when I was 14 Steve would take me into the ring and show me some simple moves, he told me a was a natural but I don't know of you was just saying that cause he's my brother but after stepping in the ring I made my mind up that this is what I wanted to do for a living even to my parents disliking.
By 1996 I was 16 years Steve was doing really great, it also the year he his second daughter Cassidy was born and I became an aunt for the second time as my other brothers didn't have kids yet. he had signed for what was then the WWF and had been on World Wide television. He had been "The Ringmaster" while being managed by "the million dollar man" Ted Dibiase but he didn't like the character and well long story short he became Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Me, mom and dad all flew out to Milwaukee Wisconsin on June 22 to surprise Steve as the next night he would wrestling on a pay per view called King of the Ring where he would be participating in the tournament.
I had a weird feeling all day that something was gonna happen but I couldn't put my finger on it I shook off the feeling I had and watched the show enjoying every minute of it.
I smiled proudly at ringside as my big brother actually won the King of the Ring tournament and I watched on as he walked up the podium to be interviewed and what I didn't know then was what he said during that interview would change not just his life and career but mine also.
I listened intently as he spoke about his opponent Jake the Snake Roberts that he had beat to win "You sit there and you thump your bible and you say your prayers and it didn't get you anywhere. Talk about your songs talk about John 3:16, Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!"
After those words left his mouth I knew things for him would never be the same again then my mom turned to me and dad and said "Did he just say what I thought he said?" before laughing softly, mom hated swearing but she knew Steve was doing it for a reason.
I laughed at her and said "Yeah mom he said ass"
From that night on Steve went on to rival Vince McMahon who was the owner of the company and some of the most remunerable moments in WWE history. He was disrespectful to authority, swearing, flipping people off , drinking beer and just raising hell. Throughout his career he became a 6 time WWE Champion, King of the Ring winner, 3 time Royal Rumble winner the only superstar do have that accomplishment and he became one of the biggest stars in WWE history.
He also paved the way for me…..
