Stone Cold Steve Austin Talks About the Current State of WWE, Redneck Island, and What He Does in His Spare Time in an Interview on AfterBuzz TV
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- Stone Cold Steve Austin made appearances on AfterBuzz TV's WWE SmackDown and Redneck Island aftershow Sunday night. In his appearances, Austin talks about how he's not a thrill seeker anymore, what he does in his free time and how rehab has been for his knee injuries. Stone Cold also shares his thoughts on talent currently in the WWE.
On The Shield:
Steve Austin says, “They're gonna break up The Shield one of these days after these guys get a little more seasoned...The guys are still great in the business and they have wonderful potential.”
On John Cena:
Steve Austin says “Here's the thing about John Cena...that guy's walking on the edge of a razor blade. Some people love to hate him, some people love to love him. But let me tell you something about John Cena; they all respect him. That guy has done a tremendous job for that company. He's a guy that always shows up, he'll work in pain, he always has a smile on his face. He goes to the nth degree to promote that brand. I've got nothing but respect for that guy. Really the way the fans take him. Some people say, 'Would you please stop pushing this guy down our throat?' But they're not. He's the face of the company. What do you do? Make number one the Blistering Heel? I tried that back in the day and I was Stone Cold. I was that grey area between black and white. Cena's the face of the company, you don't do that. When you turn down the cameras, the lights...he's the face of the company. John Cena is a young veteran. He's been in the ring, he's told some great stories, he's had a lot of high profile matches. He's a young man, but he's a veteran. You gotta work smarter, not harder. John, take care of your body.”
On the birth of Redneck Island...
Steve Austin says, “That is a highly guarded secret...when the show was first pitched to CMT, it was basically about any group of individuals that would go to an island and then when CMT heard about it...It was just basically a general pitch, but when CMT heard of it they said, 'Dial it down and make it fit our demo and call it Redneck Island.' [CMT] cast some people that we have, good living, fun loving, people from the south and let them compete.”
What Steve Austin does in his free time:
Steve Austin says, “I like to hunt deer. You’re not gonna find me out in the water where I have a real good chance of getting my leg bit off by a shark. There’s going to be a lot of things that happen to me in life, but getting my leg bit off by a shark is not gonna be one of them.”
On the potential of a 'Redneck Island: All Stars' season
Steve Austin says, “I’ve been hearing that on my twitter. I get asked that a lot. Do I know if that will happen, right now talking to you? No. We need a couple more seasons in order for that to happen, but is there a possibility for something like that to happen down the road.”
