The writer doesn't even mention that Austin did a ton of backstage vignettes that were as fun to watch as the matches taking place in the arena. Austin visiting McMahon in the hospital...Austin waiting for Eddie Guerrero in a bar...the beer truck assault (which Angle would ingeniously parody months later)...tossing Olympic gold in the river...Austin/Angle in cowboy hats, annoying the boss...hell, even the controversial attack on Pillman's home was at least as interesting as the matches that night. Simply put, if a backstage bit is anything more than an excuse to get a drink or take a piss, you can thank Austin and the WWE.
Attitude or no attitude backstage, the only thing the fans care about is what he does in front of the camera, and I really cant say he ever failed to deliver!
