Austin was a box office smash, generating more revenue and drawing bigger numbers than any superstar before or after his WWF arrival while becoming incredibly popular with wrestling fans. In 2001 however, Austin felt his character needed a change. Stone Cold turned heel after WrestleMania X7 and he also played a "bad guy" role during the WCW / ECW Invasion. The heel turn wasn't as succesful as Austin hoped, so he turned back into a "good guy" heading into 2002. After refusing to work with Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Austin had a WrestleMania match with Scott Hall and really... this is when the problems began. Stone Cold Steve Austin wouldn't see eye-to-eye with the WWF / WWE creative team. After being booked to lose to Brock Lesnar in a King of the Ring qualifying match, Steve Austin decided to walk out of the company. The WWE stated that "Austin took his ball and went home" while Steve Austin would begin spiralling downwards after leaving the company.
