PodcastOne presents the Steve Austin show classics on it, but it wasn't the Steve Austin show. It is only Thursday. Happy f**king Thursday, everybody. That means tomorrow is Friday. That means the next day is Saturday. You, my f**king go have the weekend of swig of beer, swig of water swig, a coffee swig, a Jack Daniels swig of something for the g*****n working man who busted his a*s all week to paid him gimmicks. They keep sending in the mailbox. Carl bills. That's right. And on that note, swig everything to the working woman as well. That's right. Keeping America afloat by working our asses off. And for those people that listen all over the world, wherever you add, you all got the same damn thing going on. We got going on here. They send him little gimmicks to your mailbox, decor bills. You must pay them or they will turn you s**t off. Damn. Oversee Lesnar's swagger wider for the working man and woman. And hey, let me give out an extra shout out to the people down there and in the 8ale area. Down in Atlanta, Georgia, all across the south, all that ice on em roads, swig a water. We'll get coffee for the highway crews throwing that salt, trying to get all that s**t going over so people can get up and down that highway, swig a water for them. Electricians out there trying to get all the power poles fixed. All that bulls**t. Hey, it's a big a*s clusterf**k down there. I don't know why. In the hell, the weather is all jacked up like it is, but it is. I seen it on TV. Swig a beer for the catch at airport because they can't catch their flight. Airport shut down. Cold weather like a motherf**ker down in the ATL and all across the south. s**t. I got a hell of a damn show for you today, man, I went to Monday Night Raw the other day and it was a damn family reunion, so my damn buddies partners talk to some cats and I'm not my dad here in a minute. But before I really get cranked up, y'all ever got a damn. A mother in law would send you the damnedest gifts you've ever gotten in the world. Well, my illustrious mother in law, my wife's mother is the sweetest woman in the world. But for some reason, she always buys just a g*****n the same as I ever seen in my life. And then she mails them to us, and here's a couple of things, and I wrote these all down on a little piece of paper right here. Some of the things about the past year or two that she has sent us. One of the things she said was a turbo diesel y'all seen the turbo tail on TV probably is for people with hair, mainly women, I guess. Damn sure. I don't need a terrible towel. You wash your hair when you get out of a shower, you put the turbo talent, and I guess it's supposed to help dry your hair. Now, I don't know why the turbo towel would be different from regular towel is just a little bit smaller, and I really don't know why they even call it a terrible towel because it got no turbo. Charge your own motherf**ker. I don't look at it. There wasn't a rip cord that I could pull to start up like a lawnmower and turbo dryer, my wife's hair. So anyway, my wife uses it every now and then. More or less is a ribbed to me because I think this b***h is crazier than hell. The Turbo Tell Thank you, Kristen's mother, for getting us or getting her the turbo towel. Here's another thing she got Yankee Stadium power strips. I'm using one right now. You plug it into the wall. It's got about a foot and a half a cord and there's got about six sockets. You can plug in different things, too. I got a power strip by my bed because I got so many gadgets plugged into my little nightstand there. It's ridiculous. But this one is the one that bends and rotates. Well, that's cool. That's all fine and dandy. But why you need a power strip to bend and around corners because it just lays there and you plug s**t into it. Nonetheless, I got a bendable power strip right there by my f**king bed using it. Thank you. Kristen's mom for that. Here's one that came down to Christmas when we was down there at the ranch. It's the potato pouch. The potato pouch is a little red gimmick. You've probably seen him on TV and it's a pouch. And on the pictures you can stuff about three or four potatoes in that motherf**ker. But when you get the potato pouch, when you're talking about real deal potatoes that you buy at the grocery store, you might can cram in too. Now, allegedly, this is supposed to decrease the cooking time and cooked the potato evenly for your consumption and enjoyment. I've been alive for 49 years, been using a microwaved damn near ever since they was invented. I never had a single f**king problem cooking a potato on my own without putting it in a pouch. Nonetheless, we've got two potato pouches at the Broken Skull Ranch intel in Texas and to Chris's mom. They work like a motherf**ker. I use them all the time to bake ups, potatoes and my microwave. Here's another one. She got my wife about five or six pairs of these puffy socks. And on the bottom, it says dream with a sticky bottom. I guess so that when she's walking across the floor, she does not lose traction and fall. And so anyway, we took a gimmick picture my wife sleeping, and these dream socks with her feet kicked up in the air is kind of a rib, but they purple. And as you got a blue pair and I got a pair as a blue barrel and in front of me right now and moolah the silver lab and hers, you to want a dog have been playing tug of war. That motherf**ker. And she didn't get to work too many times. So if you don't want to wear it as a dream sock, it makes an outstanding toy for your pets. Here's another thing that my mother in law got us. She got us a gigantic a*s angel for our Christmas tree at the ranch. But see, here's the deal. It's all in me and my wife. And in Ted Fowler three, six one. You know, we're just down or kicking in at the ranch. We don't do a gigantic big Christmas, like most people do here in the United States of America or across the world. My wife goes to Trader Joe's and gets 100 little gimmick trees. It's about a foot and a half tall. That's right, the same Trader Joe's with the little bitty, tiny a*s parking lot. Hey, Joe. Build a bigger f**king parking lot, motherf**ker. So anyway, back to the giant angel to put on our little bitty tiny Christmas tree. It's a motherf**ker. The damn angel is almost bigger than a Christmas tree, but no less. The angel is on top of the tree, and because our little bitty ash tree sitting on our kitchen counter, I didn't have to climb up on a ladder like most people do, and risk harming myself by falling off a rickety ladder and injuring my neck. So thank you for the giant Angel Christian's mother. We have enjoyed it for the past two three years and we'll continue to enjoy it in the future. I think we need to get a bigger f**king tree. Here's the last thing that she got us, she just got us a pair of gloves. Have you all seen of gloves? The glove, just a basic damn glove with the same kind of material placed on the palm of the hands that the dream socks had, that says dream on the bottom of them for traction. That way, when you pick something up, it won't slip out of your f**king Mitch. Keeps you from burning yourself. Gives you good traction on the object that you grabbed. And there you go. The Oh glove, I guess I seen him on TV or there's many things that you see on TV. I'm an infomercial watching motherf**ker. And I think I've seen of gloves on TV, so we've got a pair of them. Here's a problem what type of glove if you've got a big a*s hand like I do. The Earth Glove will not fit your hand, so I look at the motherf**ker while it's in the drawer. Sometimes I pull the IV glove out and just put a hot dish on top of it. That way, I don't burn my counters and I'm still using of glove. Huh? Last but not least, this is my little experiment that I'm going to do right here on the show. She just got us. She just sent us this yesterday, it came in the mail. It is a nano micro, petty machine. It's kind of like green and white has got a cover over here. And I guess it's a it's a micro patty and it removes the calluses, bunions and bulls**t off the bottom of your feet. This is a two speed model. I don't know if they make it three or four speed model. This is the two speed model. We'll turn it on that speed one always read line and like a motherf**ker, that speed too. So now let me get my chair back. I'm sitting here barefooted as I'm talking to you. Got a camouflage jacket on and a blaze orange G-string. I'm kidding about the G-string. So anyway, what we're going to do is I'm about to turn on the Nano Micro Petty and give myself a pedicure, or at least smooth down these bunions off my left foot. Here we go. They should have got made a turbocharged model because this motherf**king bogging down. I think what needs to happen when it bogs down as I should apply less pressure, but applying less pressure results and fewer results. I think my bunions and my calluses are getting the best of the micro, petty nano machine I tried on my toe. Now don't don't get me wrong, there is some skin follicles flying everywhere. I'm not sure, but a gas mask on. You know what? OK, that's enough of that bulls**t test. I need to clip my f**king toenails. They look hideous. My f**king toenails right now looked like they was on and a frigging Freddy Krueger's hands. And what was that movie? Whatever the f**k it was, you know what I'm talking about anyway? All right to Christmas, ma'am. Thank you for the micro petty machine. The motherf**ker works, I guess to a degree, that's first time I, you know, four feet like mine. You really need a belt sander. I should grab my a*s at a Home Depot and buy myself a belt sander for my feet. But because no one really sees the bottom of my feet. I'ma leave the motherf**kers as they are. Hey. We're just kicking it here at the House, I'm fixing to tell you about my trip to Monday Night Raw, the raw crew from Debbie Debbie came down to the Staples Center here in Los Angeles, California, and I will tell you all about the people I talked to shooting the breeze as some of my buddies.

Hi there, Buddy, coming back from a little break and talking about our sponsors. I want to thank every single sponsor on this g*****n show for keeping us on the air for free. Delivered to Canada will pass every single week for the working man and working woman as they're going to and from work at work, at doing all the bulls**t that they do to pay the g*****n gimmicks in the mail call bills. Let's talk about my trip down to Monday Night Raw. WWE came to Town Los Angeles, California, playing at the Staples Center. I'd been trying to talk to some more talent at WWE. And man, I tell you what, when you try to schedule a conversation with the WWE superstars, it's pretty hard to do because they always on the road. I've talked to a couple of guys on the phone. I talked to young Daniel Bryan during deer season. I had a damn good time talking to that young man. It was an excellent conversation. I got to find out a lot about that guy that I did not know. And the first time I really had an in-depth conversation with him and I would have loved to have talked to him in person. But the guy is just great on a telephone and we had a good time. I always prefer to do my interviews in person, but you know, nonetheless, a lot of them get done over the phone because it is what it is, and I'm based in Los Angeles or Texas, and they're all over the world doing what they do, putting smiles on people's faces, trying to put asses in the seat so they can perform inside a 20 by 20 squared circle. So anyway, I got on the horn, started talking to a couple of my guys have been reaching out for the last few months. As people, I knew that the WWE was coming into town. I looked at the schedule and I reached out to John Cena. I know you guys been wanting to hear from John Cena for a long time and I reached out to him. I reached out to the big show. I reached out to Dutch Mantell. Y'all know him as Zeb and I reached out to Steve Regal, old travel partner the guy who came by a couple of months ago. We talked for two hours and allow Sagot name computer chip. He came by. We had a wonderful conversation last damn near two hours and it was better than the first time. Soon, as he was gone, I stuck the chip in my computer and downloaded the show and sent it to Stacy down at PodcastOne, so I didn't lose that motherf**ker again. Steve Regal and I go way back to about 91 92 when he came to WCW, and I remember watching his first match because I was like, Man, look at this motherf**ker, come down here from England, you know, and let me see what he's got. And I'll tell you what, man, I watched that guy work in the ring watch the way he sold. And after the match was over, I went over to introduce myself to Steve Reglas and hey man, I'm Steve Ross was nice to meet you. I enjoy your work. And for some reason, man, me and that guy just hit it off from day one and turned into real good buddies, real good friends, friends to this day. And I tell you what, we raise some hell up and down the road. I'm not going to go into details here, but I had a wonderful time hanging out with my buddy again and finally proud to have captured a damn big a*s kicking of Audio Wabash, which you will be hearing soon. I started off at Dushmantha Hills Hotel Room. I knocked on the door and I was about 15, 20 minutes early and Dutch let me in and we started shooting the s**t like the old days. I have not seen Dutch Mantell and I don't know how many years of talk to him on the phone here. There a few times I tell you what, man. Dutch was one of the most influential people on my career because man, when I was going up and down the road, it was me and him and Chris Champion in a car talk and wrestling because that's really all there was to talk about. We would love it. Aden, it breathing it and it targeted pro wrestling. Man, I would like a damn sponge. My brain was absorbing all information. A Dutch would tell me about the psychology of matches and how to do this and why to do that and all that other bulls**t and the things that Chris Champion would have to offer. And, you know, later on down the road, Dr. Tom Prichard and everybody else would help me out there. But it was really nice to reconnect with Dutch after such a long period of time. And I'm going to have that conversation coming up for you very quickly on the Steve Austin family friendly show. And after I got finished with Dutch, I went over to see John Cena and I'll tell you what you talk about in the middle of a hellacious run. John Cena is stringing together one of the greatest runs ever in the history of the professional wrestling business. You can call a sports entertainment if you want to. I prefer to call it pro wrestling. The guy has been on top for a long time, and he's been on top for a long time for a reason. He's the biggest superstar in the world right now, and that business has been since he turned into the number one guy, can't nobody knock him off? John's looking for dance partners who look for some people to step their game up. He travels his a*s off, he works his a*s off, always has a smile and is on his face, and I got into his damn tour bus. And you've got to remember, you know, they're going live at 5:00 p.m. And here in Los Angeles time, I got there, probably at one set up, my little microphone stands and we started talking and I looked down at my damn recorder. We had been talking for 15 minutes. I still had the pause button on holy s**t, I don't wasted 15 minutes of my time. But more importantly, it wasted 15 minutes of John Cena's time, who has a tremendous amount of responsibilities. Once you get going. Not even at just an event, but certainly a live televised event. So I quickly recouped pushed the damn record button and off we went into a real damn good conversation and talked about a lot of bulls**t. You know, health, fitness time on the road, paying dues, working his a*s off and being the leader of that company. Time came to a closed. I went right next door into the big shows, but sat down with Paul White, the biggest human being on the planet. And when I walked in his bus, his driver had let me on there and see, that's the thing with these, you know, so many superstars have his big tour buses these days, and these motherf**kers are nice. John Cena said all the slides and s**t popped out. Youknow, I like to RV like a motherf**ker anyway. It's a big show. Just had a nice a*s bus. He didn't have any slides and I walked in. I was thinking, Man, I had so much fun back in the day, going down the road, crammed all in a car, trying to save money and shoot the breeze and talk about the business of pro wrestling. But had I lasted another couple of years and someone would have come up with the idea a little bit sooner, I damn sure would have jumped on a damn tour bus as well. Wrote that motherf**ker off and took better care of myself. I'm just that's one of the things I miss about the business was that I missed out on the tour bus era. But that being said, so I go into big shows bus, right? And I'm looking around. Ain't nobody in there, but something smells kind of funky. And I've been in big shows bus before, so I know there's a bathroom right there before you get down to the bedroom and the master bedroom suite. So I go in there and go to the bathroom. Number one, if you will, and that bus smell a kind of funky saw. No big shows back there taking a dump. So I call him on his phone. I said, Hey bro, you ready? He goes, Yeah, I'm just in the bus. I said, I'm on your bus, too. I'm up here in the front. So anyway, Big Show comes out of the back and we sit down and start talking and having a good time. And then all of a sudden they started calling him the stage so he could go do his walk through with Betty White as Betty White, and there was going to kick some ass, as you guys saw. So my conversation got cut with one big show got cut short a little bit, but you know, I landed on my feet, made my way inside, stopped by the production truck. Swigert diet, Red Bull for a working man, I stopped by the production truck to say hello to Kevin Dunn, the guy who produces Monday Night Raw and then Kerwin Selfridge, his sidekick was right there. I'll tell you what, man, you guys have sent me several emails about seeing if I could get Kevin done on the show here, and I reached out and asked him. But some b***hes are behind the scenes kind of cat. I told him, I said, Dude, you have seen and heard so many things in this g*****n truck that people would love to hear some stories that you have to tell. So anyway, I've extended the invitation. He hasn't taken me up on it yet, but we'll see if he will. And then anyway, man, I saw my damn camera and sound. Guys had a good time connecting with those guys and I saw Stephanie McMahon. She looked like a million bucks, absolutely beautiful, gave her a hug, chatted with her. I didn't see Triple H nowhere. Didn't see him. He was busy doing all the things that he does. I was trying to get down to the ring to see and talk to some of the guys back there. And before that could happen, I ran into that sorry a*s bad a*s Billy Gunn and rode Doug, Jesse James and me and Billy Gunn used to travel together back in the day, and we started laughing and giggling about the old days and telling stories. And any time you get around a couple of guys that you went up and down the road with, it's good. Damn. And of course, Rodo is one of the funniest cats in the dressing room anyway. And I was kidding. Billy Gunn because Billy Gunn, when we used to travel together, you daubert grouchy motherf**ker in the history of the world. When he wakes up Mister, you cannot give him a cup of coffee fast enough to wake his a*s up, so it turns into a pleasurable human being. And then road knocks said, No, no, he like it no more. Now he's nice in the morning. As there were, how can you just change to being the greatest human being in the world and all of a sudden just wake up and say, Oh, I'm happy this morning. But nonetheless, I haven't seen a bad a*s bill again in the morning yet, so I can't vouch for that. But they said he done changed his ways. So it was good hanging out with those guys while we were shooting the s**t, young Dean Ambrose came ambling by. So I stuck my hand out, introduce myself to him and he stuck around for a little bit and chatted with us. And first I time, I got a chance to visit with Dane. And very interesting cat. You know him and the shield have some real good momentum going right now. The team of him and Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns ever since they introduced those cats. It was a great plan. It was a great idea. They've executed it to perfection so far. Who knows which way they're going to go with that. But it was finally nice to meet you and Dean Ambrose and visit with him face to face. I think a lot of all three of those guys and think the the future is very bright for them. And then I dropped out of the damn blue. Somebody grabs me from behind. And as verse McMann Vance grabbed me from behind. Boy, I should have dropped him on that stack of dimes. He goes a neck stunner. One two three one. I ain't got no reason to paint him as in the back gave it's a big a*s hug and said, watch out and we get a chance to talk too much because right when he came up, here comes the world's strongest human being, Mark Henry, and he gives me a big a*s bear hug. And when Mark Henry gives you a big a*s bear hug, you either s**t your pants or can't breathe because that's how strong he is anyway. Then he starts to rise in my trap. We always do a deal where I give him a stunner while I'm standing on my feet. And anyways, good to see Mark Henry J. Moore loves Mark Henry. Every time I talk to J. Moore, he's got Mark Henry Stasio. It was good to see him manage. He'd been having a hell of a run up. Buried is still around. And then, right before Vince McMahon got called off into this, do some business here count Ray-Ray Rey Mysterio? Rey had a big smile on his face. He's a future Hall of Famer. That guy's had an incredible career, and I laughed at Del Rey as a god damn it, Ray Ray. I said no third in the Royal Rumble. I said, Who in the f**k you got hit with? And I told Vince as they got their mitts, I said I wasn't doing nothing. If you need a g*****n 30 spot in a Royal Rumble, throw down a phone call. I'll put my g*****n knee braces in a bag and fly down to be your number 30 spot, the Royal Rumble said. Don't f**k Rey over like, get s**t, raise a g*****n babyface. He should have stuck a heel in that spot. So Ray Ray was laughing and he rode off into the sunset, and that just goes back to Buck and man. You can't have a cat like Rey Mysterio and the number 30 spot when the whole crowd at the arena is wanting and cheering for Daniel Bryan to come join the Royal Rumble and throw a bunch of trash over the top ropes and go to the main event and WrestleMania. I still don't understand that book a decision that would have been a very opportune spot for a real hot heel, that would have been a very good spot for one. Wade Barrett make him the number three spot. Let the people boo him. That's what they trying to do anyway. Common sense. Book in their s**t. Here, anyway, we were sitting there shooting the breeze, and here comes Seth Rollins. He stopped by now to give his a*s a hard time about when he was doing that run. And I guess it was on a Monday Night Raw right after Royal Rumble and tripped over the barricade, but did his a*s. But I laughed myself. I've done that so many times. You're trying to either look like a million bucks and be a hot babyface, or you're trying to be a heel and be a bad ass, and you fall flat on your face or your a*s in there. Do nothing about it. You just got to get up and go about your business. So it was good to meet Seth Rollins and get a chance to see what that gal was all about. Again, a bright future for these guys that are in the shield. Roman Reigns never happened, but I didn't get a chance to meet that guy, and I love sudden sitting there. Here comes old Bray Wyatt. That crazy motherf**ker, the leader of the Wyatt family. I was a fan of this kid's back when he was Husky Hirsch. I loved what he did in the ring. He had a different look. With all due respect, who everybody with a great physique and all the tattoos and a tan, that's great. But for me, with a little bit of variety, here comes Bray Wyatt or husky hairs back in the day. So I was really pulling for him. I am glad that the Husky Harris gimmick backfired and didn't work because it's shades of the ringmaster. Hey, rethink things. He did a lot of homework. Kind of had a bunch of ideas to present to WWE, and they started coming up with this Wyatt family gimmick and Bray, the leader of that illustrious trio. And they're gaining a whole lot of momentum. They're all improving in the ring, Rey's Kurt and some really, really good promos, and he can take it even to another level up with more repetition in practice. But they're really on a hot streak. Had a good match of the day and that tag match where we got Ray Ray out of the blue after tagging in and hit him with his finisher didn't tarnish Rey, and he gives Bray Wyatt a good, clean, strong win in the middle. So anyway, it was good talking to Bray Wyatt. Also, the Wyatt family member, Erick Rowan, stopped by. It was good chatting with him for just a brief second. I was already engaged in conversation and never got a chance to meet. Luke Harper wanted to just put a bug in his ear and give him a little bit of four one one. What I thought about what he was doing offer some constructive advice for some of his in-ring stuff. Hang on, I'm taking a swig of Red Bull for the working man. And I'm back. Hey, I was back here, those guys who came and left. I was still sitting there bending the ear. Billy Gunn and God Dang Road Dogg. Jesse James. We're still laughing. Dylan Snapmare Stories. That's an inside story. And here comes. That old songbird, Lilian Garcia, my old drinking buddy, my drinking partner, I don't know how many times myself and Lillian got drunk together in front of 15 to 20000 people every single night, but it was a bunch. And the thing about Lillian. She's not only beautiful and can sing like a bird. You know, she's cool and the gang, but she can grate like a motherf**ker. I'll tell you what, she could put some beer now. She probably most guys underneath the table, and I don't know how many times we've been in the ring. And every time I tossed Lily in a beer or pour beer on her head and all over her clothes, she would just laugh and smile and have a damn blast. So, Lillian? It was a pleasure seeing you. You want the coolest chicks? I know and have an age today in bed. I mean, she's still as beautiful as the day I met her. She had probably 10 15 years ago whenever it was, I got hit with so many steel chairs. I can't remember what to share away on my watch, but she was. It was nice to see Lillian again, Brooklyn Brawler and Harvey with and then ambled by. Y'all know the Brooklyn brawler. Hell, Edson has been in the ring forever. Hell of a damn worker and f**kin Steve Lombardi known cat forever hearts as good as gold and old Bruno downtown Bruno from the U.S. derby. Days back in the day when I was working a stone cold Steve Austin, Bruno Le would get me a fit the whiskey or fit the vodka or a 12 pack or an 18 pack of beer every single night.

If you want to watch mo wrestling matches for Manolo, how many territories they got access to, all you got to do is punch it in a little box here. Hit the return button and I'll find a way you go. Jesus Christ. Anyway, back to my back to my day at Monday Night Raw. There's a dude there named Nick. I think Nick just helped setting everything up. I don't know if Nick is a sound guy or Kenny, that camera guy, but anyway, I just know his name is Nick. He's the guy. So my old Honda for well or two about 10 or 15 years ago, and he still has the same pitch today and it still runs. And when I sold it to him, that motherf**ker was in premiere condition anyway, because I always take care of my four-wheelers. And I bought that four-Wheeler when I lived in Georgia and I was on a hunting lease with Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff and ravishing Rick Rude. Here's a quick fish story for you now. We was out there in South Georgia Ranch Georgia specifically, and we was out there on about 2000 acres at one time. It was just myself and Rick out there. And Rick loved to fish, so we had our fish and poles and our little pond over there and we went fishing. And man, Rick was in a sweet spot. He probably got about 15 or 18 catfish, and I probably got about three. So we go back to the dam house and I'll clean these fish up and I'm sitting there with a piece of plywood, some pliers over a trash can cleaning catfish. And there's a house that in a fancy house, is just a house with bedrooms in it. And someone had bought an old TV and one of those top loading VCRs and hooked it up. And there was like a big nugget had plastic leather chair, a recliner there. And Rick was in there sitting there watching a tape of Cape Fear with Robert De Niro in there. And as true, store smoking a big a*s joint. Bless Riggs heart. He loved to smoke that damn dope. So I'm thinking to myself when I'm clean him, catfish man. Look at his mouth, Tucker. I'm out here cleaning. All these catfish is in there sitting on his ass, smoking a joint watch Cape Fear and he's want to card all these motherf**kers. So finally, you know, Rick, you got to know Rick. Everybody loved him. Stand up, guy. Always was. And he came up to me. What are you doing? I said, well, g*****n, I'm cleaning his catfish, you want to help? Nope, and turned around, went in a screen door and kept watching Cape Fear. And so I kept clean and catfish still had them all clean. And I'll tell you what, man, those are some good old days back then. And anyway, who has to? Then I got them. I just figured ready to pull a bag and get out of there. An old gold star comes by Goddammit, Dustin Rhodes now Dusty Rhodes. The American Dream is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I loved his work. I loved his promos, loved everything about it and loved the gimmick. And Goldust, one of my favorite guys to work with from my days. I think I had a match or two with him down the U.S. way. But man, we worked some programs in WCW World Championship Wrestling. And I tell you what, we work pretty snug with each other and we laid our s**t in and we had some bust a*s matches. Then we had one Halloween havoc by around 92 or something like that. And I remember one time I might have been 91 because in 92 was at the WarGames match and there was me and a bunch of other guys and I was bleeding like a motherf**ker, man. I hit a gusher. And me and Dusty did something and I was on top of him, or he was on top of me beating the s**t out of each other. And he all of a sudden he looks at me right in the middle of the match, right in the middle of a war games. He goes, God damn brother, good color, man. And I was bleeding like motherf**kers. I just said, thanks. We can't beat the s**t out of each other. And so I got a lot of fond memories of working with Dustin Rhodes with Wood Goldust. And you know, when I came to WWF back in the day, I just came in as a ringmaster. Now, Goldust at the time was already in WWF, and this was back when WWF was pushing his a*s and he was hot. I mean, this is when they were doing the kind of, you know, the over-the-top Goldust, and he had a ton of steam on a master. He had some heat and he was working on top every single night with Shawn Michaels, Heartbreak Kid, and they were having some killer matches. Of course, you know, Shawn Michaels can go with the best of any anybody in the ring, and Dustin could work his a*s off like a sandwich. So there were having these killer matches I was on about midcard not already taking a shower and waiting on Dustin because we travel together. And then for some reason, you know, WWF time was catching a lot of flak from the organizations about the character of Goldust. And it just kind of chopped his legs out from underneath him and start pushing him and stop doing all the sketch and the videos and the vignettes that he was doing. And he just kind of fell by the wayside. And then he left for a while. And finally, he's back now. But I remember the days when when he was there and he was absolutely on fire and those guys were kicking a*s in the ring and having some bust a*s matches. And I'm glad to see Dustin doing so well now. I mean, I passed by him in the hallway the other day and I looked at him. He had veins in his arms. I said, Dude. You're in the best shape I've ever seen you. I was watching the Royal Rumble and I come in and I said, Dude, you're moving around better than you ever have moved around and is that thanks, man? And anyway, you know, I talked to Cody Rhodes there for a little bit as well. I don't know Cody too well, but to talk to him, he's kicking a*s. But man, I tell you what, that damn Dustin Rhodes has really lit it up. And then, hell, Dave Bautista flew by real quickly and then Dolph Ziggler saw him. So the day was a came Cameron from tough enough and it was good seeing her. I remember she was the first person to leave tough enough, and she didn't win tough enough, but I told her back then I said, You got a place in the business. I said, You're beautiful, you're articulate. You're you're eloquent and you're intelligent. There's a spot for you and there is a spot for she's got it and she's doing fantastic. And all the divas looked like a million bucks, man. Absolutely beautiful. And that was pretty much my day at WWE Monday Night Raw. I can't remember. I know I talked to some of the guys I normally leave in a few names off list, but it was a it was a pretty interesting atmosphere there. As I say, and some of the interviews to come with some of the talent that I just talked about with Dutch Mantell, jab with John Cena, with the Big Show with Steve Regal, you know, some people are walking on eggshells over a little bit. There's only one game in town. I think the WB superstars hold themselves to a very high degree of professionalism there, but maybe some somewhat walking on eggshells, afraid to piss anybody off because there really are no other options when you get booted out of WWE. So hopefully these kids will start taking chances or chances within reason. And if they're gimmicks, aren't so great to rethink these gimmicks and present them to match who is a businessman and will take the time to listen to anybody who's got an idea. That's the thing about Vince. He's always willing to listen to an idea, and he's busier and busier to some bits right now with this network about to launch. He seemed a little preoccupied when I talked to him because I think he's got a lot on his plate and a lot going on. And hey, man, these guys are heading right into WrestleMania 30. The park storyline continues. Is it a storyline? Is it not a storyline that I saw Daniel Bryan right there towards the end, and boy, he had a big smile on his face and he was happy as a lark. They still got the Daniel Bryan thing going. People are red hot for that guy. Keep pushing him, do something and do the right thing. It'll be interesting to see what happens as far as WrestleMania goes with that cat. We're going to keep talking about it. We've got several weeks to talk about it. I'm going to close this part of it down because that's that's pretty much all to happen, man. I got back in my SUV and went back to the house, and I think I had about six beers at night because I knocked down for interviews and had a damn good time swig a beer for the working man. And I asked you guys to send me some questions and questions that Steve asked and showed Akam, and you did just that. So I'm going to come back and answer your questions. Hey, so anyway, you guys hit me some questions, so maybe a little bit long winded, but let me let me get going here and swing at him. Hey, Mr. Ralston, you ain't got to call me Mr. Austin. You can just call me Steve. Thank you for open up a can of audio will badge for the working man around the world. Now I'm a mailman, or sometimes the gentleman's outside loose dogs run around chasing me and customers yell at me because their check hasn't arrived yet can make you go crazy. Now, I can't really give my customers the double middle finger when I get annoyed because their mailbox is being blocked, but I don't have to. That's because I walk around and listen to your podcast on my route, and it makes my day go by so much easier and gets me in a better mood. My question to you, sir, is I deliver these gimmicks. Card bills to my customers is What is your take on current WWE Superstar Antonio Cicero? No, I hear he is dropping the name Antonio and is just going to be Carl Cicero. I myself find the man a great talent and could see him doing great babyface business here in the near future. Do you think it's too soon for him to break up the real Americans with Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter? Or do you think it's his time to go back in the singles? I see Cicero as a future world champ and think the guy can get over just like he did for the Los Angeles crowd on February 10th edition of Raw. My skills are my only question, but I like to see Cicero get a bigger push here in 2014, even though I'm a man. I still love dogs, so please tell her she Breo and Shona. I said, hi. And as from Old Jimmy over there in Washington. Well, let's address the. The first part of that question. What I think about Antonio Sasural mouthing guys a hell of a talent. He's a hell of a gifted athlete. He's got a good look. I take the sweat bands off the legs. I don't like those. Go to traditional knee pads to protect your knees. The gimmick needs tweaking, obviously, but this guy is a talent. They need to put some more thought in to what they do with this guy. I know they've kind of brought him in with some lackluster ideas to begin with, but just let him maintain what he's doing right now with Jack, Swagger and Zeb. But then it'll be time to split him out of that because bigger and better things are down the road for this young kid. That's what I think anyway, and I really think it's madness. This kid myself, but I think he's a true talent, is a good looking cat, speaks about five, six seven languages. That's always a bonus. The kid's got potential. All right, here we go. It comes from a cat over in Ireland. All right. Hey, Steve, I'm getting married in December and I'm scared s**tless. We have been dating for 10 years and I love this girl. I never cheated on her before, but the idea of marrying her scares me. Why the f**k does it scare you? You've been dating your a*s for 10 years. Are you going to break up with her? Is marriage the bottom line? Is she bugging you about getting married? What's the story here? If you're in a committed relationship right now, as you see, get on the sand. See, that's where chicks are. Chicks want to get married, women want to get married so that with all due respect, one out of two, every marriage fails. So you got that going against you. But hey, man, if you love this woman and she's your soulmate and you've been dating for 10 years, it's time to share her get off the pot in her mind. I can see where you're coming from, though. I've been married four times, so you know, if you dig this chick and you will not find a better one. I think you should hang on to her. And maybe that's maybe that's getting married. So I wish you all the best in the world, and that's about as good as I can tell you, brother. Women are on a time clock. Once they start getting to a certain age, they want to go out and tie that knot and just BS that way sometimes. Hey, man, this one comes out from quick question. I currently have a wrist injury and this has limited my current workout regime. I can still bench, albeit painfully, but my bicep curling and press ups have taken a hit. Any tips on getting around this, or can you recommend substitute alternative workouts I can do until my injury recovers as from old pal? Hey, man, you know, any time I get some that it starts going south on me, I'll jump on some anti-inflammatories. I like naproxen. Ibuprofen works good as soon as anything stops hurting, or may I stop taking whatever I'm taking and sometimes do just lighten up, lighten up the weight and put in the repetitions. You ain't got to beat yourself up every single time. So if your wrist is bothering you, you should use some alternate exercises. Go to push ups. If it's that bad, I mean, you might need to check the stomach out and get it X-rayed or mirrored. Arrest rap might also help things, but lighten up your load and switch out to different exercises. Are focused on cardio where there's a will. There's a way sometimes just got to stop aggravating stuff and let it heal up on itself. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I did it at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Swig a red bow for the working man. Hey, Steve, isn't the question, it's a straight up shoot, I went out on the weekend having a couple of dodgy c**ktails, followed by a good looking burger that turned out to be food terrorism. The next day, I spent 14 hours within a two metre radius of the toilet. No joke. 14 hour drizzle and chef's worst in the ringmaster gimmick, the kid was shedding like a cripple goose. Anyway, I want to shout out to you that the SARS was a lifesaver as I crept my brains out, bored out of my mind for 14 straight hours. Keep the audio wolf bars coming. It's saving lives here in England. Oh hell yeah. Oh my god. Well, see, here's what the young dude did. He went out, got drunk, got him a burger that looked good, and it had a crippled goose factor of about ten point five went home and s**t like a cripple goose. He couldn't get away from his toilet. So the Steve Austin show gave him something to do when he wasn't s**tting in his toilet. So hey, Scott, glad I could help you open up a can of audio will pass there by your toilet. Dig this. Hey, Steve, I was warned. If you believe that in 2014, a wrestling promotion has even a slight chance to overcome WWE and break into the mainstream. Man, that's a very good question. There's not a chance in hell that you're going to overcome Debbie, Debbie, but a show could come at the right place at the right time, done the right way, within the right financial structure and business model, and definitely tap into the mainstream. Never be able to compete with WWE, but some noise could definitely be made done the right way with the right funding. And no, TNA is not the answer. I don't think that that's, you know, and they've been around for several years, more power to them. But I think there's a smarter business model to operate than the way TNA is operating. Hey, Steve, from us, from Steven. Why does Bray Wyatt blow out of Gasland before the music hits and then carries an LED lantern to the ring and quote unquote blows it out? It's a small thing, but bugs me every time I see it. Well, my friend that is called show business. Pure and simple in show business, brother, it's all and so Bray was doing his thing, blowing out the lady landing because it looks good on TV and I been to a road show, but I'm sure he's probably carrying something like that on the road shows as well. Anyway, it makes for a good act. It looks cool and that's the bottom line, and that's why they do that. And believe it or not, folks, are Merab it up with this one? And I've got this, I got so many damn emails about this one. Give us one. Do you do? Hey, Steve, I love the podcast I love. Listen, all the rest lives to behind the curtain stories. I don't know how many times at work I have laughed loudly and everyone is looking at me. I love all the stories and interviews with everyone. I'm catching up on all the old podcast. I'm sure someone has suggested already, but in case they haven't. You're breathing in the mic. It is very distracting. I just was listening to Kevin Nash and had to listen to it again because I was so focused on your nose whistle. I don't know how the setup is there, but I think it could be a quick fix. Something as simple as leaning back until you have the chance to talk or use a headset may be moving it away from the mouth and nose. I'm sure your voice will still be picked up. Anyways, that's the only suggestion I have that won't stop me from listening at all. But you always talk about being the best, and I believe you can be the best at this too. And that's the bottom line from Kurt. Now, Kurt, that Kevin Nash interview was from about six or seven months ago. That's all last interview. If you can still hear me breathe in while people are talk and send me another email, you got to jump forward and get to the current podcast and I'm running every time I'm in a studio. When I'm in Beverly Hills with Stacy, I'll tell Stacy, Hey, let me know if I'm breathing too loud because my nose is busted to s**t. My I got the deviated septum. Nose broke so many times I can barely breathe out of it. I can understand what you're saying. I'm not trying to make you feel sorry for me by talking about my deviated septum from my f**ked up nose. That's not the point. I hear you. I appreciate the fact that you told me that the breathing was bothering you. I'm doing what I can. But when you lean away from that microphone, when you're trying to have a conversation with someone, you try to try to get your stuff in there. Why you're on a telephone call, it's tough. So anyway, I'm working on that. If it still persists, send me another f**king email. We're trying to make us the best g*****n kind of audio will pa*s. You can open in the world of podcasting. So anyway, I guess I'm going to take my loud, breathe an a*s and shut the f**k up now. It's time for me to ride off into the sunset. I got to take my fat a*s to the gym. I'm still on a g*****n diet. Down about 263 ain't really lost any weight, but I think my muscle memory is coming back. I think I'm getting a little bit more jacked up than I was start to wash a little bit of beer off my system muscles and start to memorize where there was back in the day. I'm applying the intensity, the consistency and everything that goes with trying to get my a*s in shape. I had a great time going down to Monday Night Raw. I had a great time talking with everybody I saw down there was like a big a*s family reunion. I have been gone from the business of pro wrestling for a long time now. I know they do in sports entertainment, but back in the day when I was doing pro wrestling, it's been a while since I've been around and finally get a chance to meet some of these UP-AND-COMING young superstars. And you know, I get emails all the time from you people saying, Oh man, it's all the guys at the top guys. Hold them down. As to Triple H, is this a John Cena, just Randy or George? The Batista's coming back or the rock coming back is holding his cash down? Let me tell you something. There ain't nobody holding nobody down in WWE now. It's true that the powers that be do not believe in certain people. It is up to the talent to make management, believe in them and give them a push. There is a pretty thin roster of talent in that locker room. There's a lot of guys and gals, but when you talk about the cream of the crop, you're talking about the best. Vince McMahon will let anybody be a star that has the potential to be a star. John Cena wants different dance partners. Triple H Would Love a different dance partner. Randy Orton would love a different dance partner. Daniel Bryan would love a different dance partner. C.M. Punk, if he comes back, would love a different dance partner. So, hey man, the doors are wide open there. The ceiling is unlimited. I hear that all the time, man. John Cena is the top dog. He would love for someone to be in contention for that top dog status because he's an alpha male. He's a competitive cat and he wants to battle it out and fight for his job. All he does is keep going up and down the road doing his best, giving it is all in the ring and that's all you can ask from a WWE superstar. All the cash I just mentioned are working their asses. Off and doing their deal is you just got to be up to the talent coming up to make some noise. Not be afraid to go out on a limb and take a chance. Do you catch it? Listen to my show on the back. Do somethin wake somebody up, grab that f**king business, that company by the throat, say, Hey, motherf**ker, I want to push. The sky's the limit catch. Hey, I appreciate you guys hitting the download button. I'd appreciate it more if he did describe Button. I really appreciate it. If you tell a couple of friends about this show, if you enjoyed it, has little one on one here from me to you. As you ride down the road, going to work, coming to work, setting the damn work, working on a computer, doing whatever the f**k you don't I do to show for the working man and a working woman. I appreciate all my sponsors who stick on and I'll do the reads on the damn show. I appreciate you checking out my sponsors and supporting their products. It's all good s**t because if it wasn't, I wouldn't read their s**t on my show. I appreciate you guys going to Steve Austin showcase and clicking on that Amazon button, because when you do, that's the easiest way to support the show. So if you dig what you hear and if I can help you out the day, put a smile on your face, keep it from being bored. Even if you got a case of the scream and s**ts like my young man down there in the UK. It is what it is and until the next time. I'm Steve Austin. Starting next Tuesday, we're going to have all of the interviews with the WWE superstars that I interviewed just this past Monday in Los Angeles, California. Steve Regal, Zeb, John Cena and a big show coming at you real soon until end. My name is Steve Austin coming to you from the streets of Los Angeles, California. And I'll kick your a*s down to Rome.
