10 Behind the scene photos from Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions you need to see

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin has been one of the most successful and popular WWE Superstars. While his in-ring career came to an unfortunate early end, Austin has continued to appear on WWE programming since then in different capacities.

One of those is his highly successful WWE Network podcast series - Broken Skull Sessions with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Many massive names including The Undertaker and even Vince McMahon have joined Steve Austin on his podcast.

In this era, fans are always excited to see the backstage stuff behind all the WWE productions. Let's take a look at 10 amazing behind the scene photos from Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions.

#10 Lights... Camera... Stone Cold Steve Austin

No other wrestling promotion in the world comes close to the production quality of WWE. It is due to the superior cameras and the camera crew that WWE is able to produce such high-quality content.

In the picture above, one can see the shooting of the Broken Skull Sessions with Stone Cold Steve Austin. There is also another cameraman in the background, recording the podcast from a different angle.

#9 One with the Olympic Gold Medalist

The above picture is from September 2020, when WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle joined Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Broken Skull Sessions. The two legends discussed various topics, including Angle's WWE return in 2017. Angle revealed that he wanted to do what Goldberg did and have a title run, but WWE didn't have any such plans.

"What I wanted to do was... I wanted to do what Goldberg did. Have a quick title run, to do a main event. That wasn't in the plans because whenever I did wrestle, I was getting my a*s beat, or it was a tag match with Ronda. It was to promote her, it wasn't me. It was me, Triple H, and Stephanie highlighting Ronda."

Kurt Angle also spoke about his retirement match at WrestleMania 35 against Baron Corbin and revealed that he wanted a bigger last match.

#8 The mutual respect

The above picture is from December 2019 when Stone Cold Steve Austin was joined by WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg in the Broken Skull Sessions. During the podcast, Goldberg revealed that he was treated as Steve Austin's copycat at WCW. Goldberg also jokingly said that he wanted to kill him as he represented his enemy.

"I wanted to kill you. Yeah, because you represented the enemy. That's all. But I never could have made it where I was without you being Steve Austin and I was the copycat over at WCW."

#7 Stone Cold Steve Austin with The Nature Boy

The above photo is from the shoot of the Broken Skull Sessions with Ric Flair in April 2020. During the conversation, Stone Cold Steve Austin said that he considered Flair to be the greatest of all time and asked The Nature Boy which superstars he considers to be great, to which Ric Flair replied:

"Everybody is not great. There are some good workers out there, but great is another different category. Steve Austin is the biggest box office to this date. Now, I wasn't here for a lot of it, and I have told you this story. When Vince inducted you and he was going down, what you have drawn, what you've done, and the fact that you were a great worker - that's number 1. Number 2, I don't think he's a great worker, he doesn't think he is either, but you've got to go to Hogan for drawing money. I could be wrong. To me, because I think he's a great worker, even outside of his gimmick and has drawn a fortune, I go to Undertaker. "

Ric Flair, a 16-time world champion in WWE, definitely makes his way into every list of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. The kind of legacy that he has left in the business of professional wrestling is unparalleled.

#6 Steve Austin in conversation with The Legit Boss

'The Legit Boss' Sasha Banks joined Stone Cold Steve Austin for an amazing episode of Broken Skull Sessions in February 2021. The above picture is from the shoot of that episode where the two of them can be seen discussing. During the conversation, Banks revealed how she got her WWE ring name.

"I remember my first week they were like give us a list of names. I just remember putting Sasha with a different last name and Banks with a different first name. And then I had a match the week after that and Sara Del Rey came into the locker room like 'You're Sasha Banks.' Yanno what? I love that, that sounds like money, it sounds like gold."

Sasha Banks also told a funny story about how her mother hated that ring name initially and thought that it sounded like the name of an adult industry worker.

#5 The Texas Rattlesnake with The Hitman

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret 'The Hitman' Hart have had quite a few memorable matches against each other. Bret Hart joined Austin on his Broken Skull Sessions podcast in March 2020.

The above picture shows an amazing backstage moment where the two WWE legends can be seen sharing a laugh.

#4 Steve Austin with Drew McIntyre

The above pic is from December 2020 where Stone Cold Steve Austin was joined on the Broken Skull Sessions by the then WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre. It was a great episode where the two discussed several topics, including McIntyre revealing how Vince McMahon came up with his sword entrance.

"He took the sword, just me and him, and swung it around in his office, held it up, spun it around [and] did this (McMahon does the sword entrance). Why don’t we do this? That’s great. Just genius. He just stands there, waved a sword around his office and came up with what we did for the entrance where I walk out, spin it [and] stick it in the ground."

#3 Sharing a laugh with The World's Strongest Man

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry might be a very intimidating person on-screen, but behind the scenes, he is a very friendly guy. The above picture is from Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions with Henry in June 2020. During the episode, Mark Henry revealed a hilarious incident about his first phone call with Vince McMahon.

"Vince called Terry Todd and got my phone number, and called me at the training center. And, mind you, I was a big time [pro] wrestling fan still. About six other guys that were at the training center with me, they watched wrestling with me every Monday night, so I'm thinking, 'Hey Mark, phone call.' 'Alright.' I come down the hall way. We have a community phone. 'Hello?' 'This is Vince McMahon. Hey, how are you doing?' 'Okay, Wes.' Click, hung up on him!"

#2 Roll... Camera... Action!

The above picture is from the shooting of Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions with Kane. The Big Red Monster was recently announced to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Famer Class of 2021. During the conversation, Kane hilariously revealed how when he unmasked for the first time on RAW, his wife wasn't thrilled because she loved his long hair but he had to shave it off for the segment.

"I actually was a little nervous, though, because I hadn’t told my wife about this, and my wife loved my long hair, and I wanted her to see it and be shocked just like everybody else, and she was. So, when I talked to her after the match, that didn't go very well."

#1 Steve Austin with The Undertaker (and a dog!)

One of the best episodes of Broken Skull Sessions came in December 2020 when The Undertaker joined Steve Austin on his podcast. The picture is from the very same episode. The most hilarious thing about that picture is that there is a dog sleeping under the desk while Steve Austin and The Undertaker are shooting the episode. That is Steve Austin's dog who also accidentally appeared briefly on the screen during the episode.

That is my Chocolate Lab Brownie. We rescued him two months ago. He was sleeping behind the desk and decided to get up and do a run in. I love my dogs. Bottom line.
