There’ll never be another time like this in pro wrestling. Wrestling industry was on FIRE + with a PPV biz model – @steveaustinBSR and I approached every main event with a “if we don’t draw PPV’s, then we don’t fuckin’ eat” attitude.
Fans felt that hunger and passion.

The 2 biggest can’t miss stars ever at their peak. 97-2001 they were untouchable . Flair, Taker, Cena, Hogan have longevity but they didn’t strike gold with everything they were doing every week every show like Rock and SCA were during that period every lol .

I will never forget the bridge and you tossing Steve over, yall were wild back in the day! And the promos, the newer generation could learn a lot from what you two fellas brought to the table. Both of you are goats in my opinion.

The Rock is the Hollywood celebrity Stone Cold Steve Austin wants to face
Every wrestling fan will agree on the point that Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock brought a lot of zeal for them with their matchless rivalry. Also, they had a unique in-ring chemistry, which made the fans go berserk. However, in a 2015 interview, when asked which Hollywood celebrity would Austin like to face, his answer was The Rock.
In his interview with KiddNation, The Texas Rattlesnake said, “As far as celebrity goes, I don’t know. What’s okay since The Rock is a celebrity I think it would be fun to get back in the ring with The Rock. But I’m not pitching a match, since you said celebrity, Rocks the biggest movie star in the world.”

Austin claimed he had fun working with The Rock and they both respect each other’s careers. If there was a potential match in 2015, the WWE universe would have gone crazy. Although we never got to see The Rock vs Austin again, Stone Cold came out of retirement for one match at WrestleMania 38 against Kevin Owens.
