People go into that arena, and they know the fix is in. They know what pro wrestling or sports entertainment is.

I got pile drived in ’96 or ’97 and was a quadriplegic for about a minute and a half. I couldn’t move anything. It was in the Meadowlands at a pay per view with a million or two people watching, and I couldn’t move. That cost me a surgery, but I healed pretty quickly, so that was probably my worst day at the office. Stone Cold Steve Austin Read Quote

I respect Hulk Hogan because his career lasted some 30 odd years. I think I lasted about 15, but during my peak years, I took the business to a height it never seen before. Stone Cold Steve Austin Read Quote
When I see things through my eyes, I don’t want to ever just be really negative towards someone’s performance. There are many ways to skin a cat. Sometimes I watch the guys, and they’re doing different things than I would have done, but I don’t ever want to be too critical. Stone Cold Steve Austin Read Quote
