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.

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.
