While speaking with ‘WrestlingRamble89, Steve Austin opened up about his infamous confrontation with Tyson and mentioned how they didn’t necessarily follow a script:
“I didn’t know what Mike was going to say. I kind of had the broad points about it. But, it was just a deal where Mike went out and said what he said and I got in his face and flipped him off. He had to push the sh*t out of me because if he just barely pushed me, he’d look like a punk. So, he pushed the sh*t out of me.”
