Steve Austin Says He Could Wrestle Full Time Posted by Dave Mitchell on 04/07/2011 at 04:06 PM
In an interview with Comcast's XfinityTV to promote the new season of Tough Enough, WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin dropped a very newsworthy quote - saying his body is in good enough shape that he could actually get back in the ring and wrestle a full-time schedule for about two more years. You can read the full interview here.
Here are some highlights of what Austin said about:
Nexus Leader CM Punk: " I really like C.M. Punk. I think hes one of the top workers in the ring. I love his promos. I love his style. Theres no smoke and mirrors. I like the straight-edge lifestyle stuff he does. You want to start pairing that against the beer-guzzling Stone Cold Steve Austin, I think youd have an interesting feud to say the least. He would push me to the limits, I would teach that kid a thing or two, and there would be some wonderful promos going back and forth. I like him a lot.
How Physical He Got While Shooting Tough Enough: "One of the kids was pretty mechanically inclined, so I got in there with him
and shoot, I guess that means I havent been in the ring in seven or eight years
but I took a few bumps from him, gave him a few bumps, it was a lot of fun. I think if we do it again, I think Ill be even more active and get in the ring a lot more."
A Possible Return to the Ring: " I could still, you know if I was in a bad situation, I could still get two years out of my carcass on a full-time basis." He then added, " But Im happy where Im at. And in ten or twenty years I still want to be doing the things Im doing with my hunting and fishing. I want to continue to do that in a pain-free fashion. And right now Im living a pretty pain-free lifestyle."
