Stone Cold opens up on his relationship with Vince McMahon
Steve Austin recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. He told the former punter that while he had a better relationship with Vince today, the two didn’t always get along.
“Our relationship is strong,” Steve Austin revealed. “When we were feuding for damn near two years… I love that guy, I’m sure he probably loves me too. But, man, there was, for a shoot, a lot of times some animosity there when I did some of the things I did. I’ve got nothing but respect for the guy and we’re in a real good place.”
Austin’s career in the WWE was cut short due to multiple knee injuries and a serious neck injury. He was still in Vince’s employ for a few more years though serving as the onscreen General manager and even the Sherriff of RAW.
He has since moved on and now has a podcast named The Stone Cold Podcast. He has had several guests from the WWE on the show including, yep you guessed it, Vince McMahon.
