But the problem arose when he could not swing it using a centrifugal force side by side after someone pulled the arm up.

Austin said, “So it wasn’t hanging down so that I can swing it using a centrifugal force by going side to side. And they had failed to tell me that they have raised the arm up and the block was closer to the cab.”

Further, the WWE legend mentioned he wasn’t able to swing it as he did it in the rehearsals. He revealed that he made the cement block go forward after that. He added, “And that big cement block would go forward and turn straight towards me. And the way that thing is coming at me, I am thinking ‘I am about to die’”.
