Stone Cold Steve Austin looks in the best shape of his life in a new gym video, as seen below, possibly showing rumors that he will wrestle again at WrestleMania 39 are true. Stone Cold never minces his words. Whether it be wrestling, or a podcast, he ensures that the words are in order, but they deliver the message loud and clear. Austin has never been off in what he says and knows a thing or two about sneakers.
The Texas Rattlesnake recently went on a sneaker shopping with Complex and talked about John Cena’s impact in the domain. Sneakers have been an integral part of a wrestler’s attire, and Cena is the one who inspired the trend.
I think the sneaker culture is cool in wrestling, but for me, a traditional guy who started off as a technical wrestler turned into a brawler, it wouldn’t have fit my style.
Of course, [John] Cena comes first in my mind when I’m thinking about sneakers in the wrestling game, and he really went over the top with it, and so many others have followed that suit and maybe some more before him.
And going into the John Cena thing when he started pumping the things up. I was like, Cena’s really working for a sneaker deal here because it turned into a thing, and the crowd got behind it, and he’s one of those guys; what a tremendous career he had, and it affected so many people.
I’ve forgotten so many things. But I remember that vividly. I was in the ring, and he had that flip phone just like you said; he was taking pictures. He was basketball, I mean, everything was about LeBron, and he’s about to really get going and take over the sport.
And to see him out there to be at a WWE event and be a fan of Stone Cold was very flattering. And at the time, I was in character, man. And when I’m in character, all I’m doing is turning a dial-up.
That’s not a gimmick; that’s me. I wanted to go out there and shake his hand and slap him on the back, but I couldn’t do that. And all these years for him to bust out the Lebron 3:16 shirt. Very cool.
Austin spoke on how Cena made the culture big and is now a name to be reckoned with in all aspects. He talked about how he is not into sneakers and how his character had a different vibe to what was presumed in real essence.
Stone Cold also talked about the LeBron James moment, and why he couldn’t do what he wanted to do. Austin was playing a role while James had a LeBron t-shirt on him. It read ‘LeBron 3:16’ and Austin wanted to go shake hands with him, and break character.
Despite so many things going on in his mind, he couldn’t do it because he was playing the character which was completely opposite to it. He believes that everything should be as per character, and because he was in that role, he couldn’t change things.
