  one of the best-known WWE wrestlers because of
  his catchphrase Austin 316. After he stopped

Life at Home and the Kids

• Austin has been married more than once, and his
  daughters names are Stephanie and Cassidy. He
  admits that his wrestling career was more
  important to him than being a good dad, which
  hurt his relationship with his kids. He explains,
  They realized I cherished them, yet I was not
  there. Now that they are more seasoned, we are
  headed to improving. So now they are going after
  their own goals. I back them, and if I can help
  them in any way, I do. After all the nonsense
  that has happened, were finally talking. Even
  though the relationships were tense, they are
  better now, but its still a building block
  because, after all these years, we still dont
  know each other as well as we should.
