[@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.

Amen.🕯️🌙

[@garethrevell5873]

Damn straight brother! Like the guy above says AMEN!

The smile Stone Cold gave when Pat kept kayfabe and dumped on Adam Cole was great. You could tell he loved it.

[@tharengore7215]

Oh for sure. I kind of hope Cole will say something about it next week 😆

[@Kayfabe-226]

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...

Years and years ago, back during the attitude era, one guy with a sign summed up a lot of what we all felt at the time. "When you hear the glass, it's Vince's ass!" It's how we all felt about everything and everyone that tried to keep us down.

[@Geoffchuggachugchugg167]

I was in middle/high school during the attitude era. Before the attitude era I had no friends and was made fun of for watching wrestling. When the attitude era hit and wrestling took over the world. Everyone wanted to be my friend and talk wrestling even the people that bullied me for watching wrestling a year before the the attitude era. That was truly a special time.

[@smf1280]

7:15 the younger crowd probably get their rocks off watching the attitude era. The best era by far! DX, The Rock, Undertaker, Kane, Stone Cold, HHH, I could go on and on. And then you even have WCW which was just as good.

Steve is an example of turning failures into success he is the epitome of turning lemons to lemonade he was losing his hair and he lost his job but he didn't give up he stuck to it and adapted and overcame all the obstacles that were put in his way he reached the top of his profession and is still enjoying that success today and continues to build on it
