Steve Austin Speaks On McMahon, Current WWE Product, More
Date Added: April 23, 2007
Story By: Matthew Boone
Tony Bitkowski sent along the following recap of Steve Austin on the Mark Madden radio show:

I live in Pittsburgh PA and was listening to the Mark Madden Radio show that
broadcasts everyday from 3- 7 p.m. on ESPN radio 1250. Today, one of his
guests was Stone Cold and he had some interesting things to say.

-Mark asked Austin if he can physically wrestle. Austin says yes, he can
physically wrestle but he is very well off and doesn't need the money. He
said he wants to be able to fish and hunt in the next 10-15 years without
any pain. Austin again said he has so much money that he has saved over the
years since he was huge back in the late 90's.

-Austin then goes on to say that he could come back right now and become the
top guy again in the company within 2 years. Then he mentions that he would
never go through that again however.

-Mark asked Austin how he liked the Battle of the Billionaires and Austin
replied that he Liked/disliked the match. 1st, Austin hated Ford Field.
Austin said that Ford Field was so big and cavernous that the sound went
straight to the roof instead of outwards. Austin and the other wrestlers
throughout the night couldn't tell if the fans were liking it or not. Austin
explained how he would judge the way his match was going by fan reaction and
assured the listeners that he never has choreographed a match before. 2nd,
Austin said he doesn't like being in the mid card despite the hype going
into the match. He would much rather be involved in the main event where he
said it is more fun.

-Mark asked him if he would come back then who would he like to work with.
Austin said he would love to have a program with Mr. Kennedy in about 3-4
years. Kennedy needs to get more time under his belt. Austin also said he
would love to battle HBK again but only if it is a very long series. Austin
said that he loves John Cena and all the hard work he does. Also, Austin
loves Finlay and his ability in the ring. Austin also threw love out to The
Rock.

-Mark asked about the movie and Austin said it is very different from
wrestling seeing as Austin never wrestled by a set pace and in the movies
everything was choreographed. Austin puts over Vinnie Jones and says he
would have been a hell of a heel in the WWE.

-Mark asked about a match against Hogan. Austin flat out said that he
doesn't like Hulk Hogan because of his off screen personality. Austin also
says that he would never wrestle him because their fighting styles are too
different and the match would never be close to a 5 star match.
