You can here it when he shows him the shorts

[@hothotheat3000]

Austin isn’t just a legend, but a legitimately cool dude who is grateful for his fame and clearly loves talking to fans who are respectful and love him back. A lot of wrestlers don’t have good lives after retirement, and Steve has some really dark days. Listen to JR’s podcast, he does into detail about what happened when Austin walked out. He was scared for his friend, but here’s Stone Cold, 56 years old, looking great and having a great life. I’m so happy for him!

[@santosesquivel8669]

Dude, thanks for the perspective. Too true, people were worried. He had at least a friend (JR) who knew what he needed and what he was looking for.

That's perfect example of what a true heel is suppose to do but yet top Wrestling stars are too stupid to understand that there is a way to keep little kayfabe as part of your character during podcast...too many of wrestlers today just open up to point it's ridiculous in my opinion when they are on podcast...Jericho is one of them and unfortunately so is undertaker...I really thought that taker should have kept some stuff back...
