Stone Cold Steve Austin says no one is going to be the next Steve Austin

With Kevin Owens being pushed as an anti-authority figure and him using the stunner, it’s no surprise that people have started comparing him to possibly the biggest star wrestling has ever seen, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

 


 

However, while talking about these comparisons in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Steve Austin acknowledged that Kevin is great in the ring but said that no one is going to be the next Steve Austin:

“With Kevin Owens, don’t throw my name on there, this guy can talk a lot of trash, he is great in the ring, and he’s using my finisher, but hell, no one is going to be the next Steve Austin.”

Continuing on the topic, Austin explained his comments saying that people used to say he was going to be the next Ric Flair but it’s not how the things work:

“I remember when people were saying I was going to be the next Ric Flair when I was in WCW. No one’s ever going to be the next Ric Flair, and you’re not going to see the next Hulk Hogan or the next Bret Hart, either. It just doesn’t happen that way. People like to say that because of the similarities, but what we should be saying is, ‘I want this guy to be the next big thing.'”

Apart from this, Steve Austin also talked about Kevin Owens using the stunner and recalled meeting the former Universal Champion at an airport and giving him advice on how to cut promos.
