For Steve Austin, his pro wrestling career ended early and few knew at the time. Eventually, after like a decade away, he returned to defeat Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. He did not appear before the show as Owens had to sell the match himself. In fact, WWE neve confirmed the bout until it actually started around 11 PM EST. With the two meeting from Texas and Austin being of the biggest names ever, fans ultimately loved it.
Now, the WWE Hall of Famer is making a surprise announcement that he wishes Owens met Austin in his prime. “[Owens] got in the ring with the name Stone Cold Steve Austin, but he didn’t get in with the true Stone Cold who was a f— machine,” said Austin on the Christopher Kamrani of The Athletic. “When the ball rang, I was an —- and he didn’t get that guy. That’s what I was mad about. I wanted him to know what it was like to be in there when he’s on. You try to be the guy you were, you try to be in that alpha state. Although, your mindset is there, physically you are not.”
Steve Austin Teases WrestleMania 41 Role
Despite the performance, he was open to the idea of WrestleMania 41 since it comes from Las Vegas. “I said I won’t leave Nevada,” said Austin. “It’s hard to get me out of this state. But, WrestleMania next year is in Vegas. That’s in Nevada.” That tease is enough for someone to want to buy tickets. He cannot have many, if even one, match left.
Now, it seems like WWE heavily wanted Austin for WrestleMania. In the closing moments, The Undertaker removed The Rock from the equation. Therefore, giving Cody Rhodes just enough to pin Roman Reigns. All signs pointed to Austin getting that spot, but it never materialized. Maybe, he really wanted did not want to make the trip to Philly, So, after hearing how Steve Austin was not thrilled with his Kevin Owens match, do you think he will be booked for WrestleMania 41?
