#6 ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin reacts to The Undertaker’s comments about present-day WWE

The Undertaker recently sparked a lot of controversies when he called the current WWE product ‘soft’. While it did not look like The Undertaker was criticizing the performers, his choice of words did not sit well with some people in the wrestling community. Recently, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin addressed Undertaker’s comments and sided with The Deadman.

Austin insisted that the WWE Superstars today are indeed better athletes. However, he added that he liked the grittier product from back in the day and believed that it was the reason why he thrived. He further stated that the product was a lot more protected when he and The Undertaker were ruling during the Attitude Era.

"You’re spot on in saying that today is a different era. It’s a more athletic product, the guys and girls are better athletes than we were. Growing up, I was a big fan of promotions such as NWA, Mid South, and WCCW as well, and during the Attitude Era, we really pushed the envelope creatively. I just think the business was a lot more protected back then, and it was a grittier product, which is what I thrive on."

#5 WWE Superstar Randy Orton wants to appear on the Broken Skull Sessions

Randy Orton recently took his social media to address WWE legend ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. He expressed his desire to appear on Austin’s show on WWE Network, Broken Skull Sessions in his peculiar fashion.

Judging by The Viper’s eagerness to join the WWE veteran for the talk show, we are sure that it will happen sooner than later. Given how both these Superstars have known each other for a long time in WWE, a meeting between them will make for an interesting episode.
