Stone Cold Steve Austin Admits He Still Feels the Itch to Get Back in the Ring

Stone Cold Steve Austin came into WWE as a reject from its competitors, WCW back in the 1990s, and molded himself into one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time during the infamous Attitude Era.

After staying at the top of the food chain for years, The Texas Rattlesnake hung up his boots in 2003 after his monumental clash with The Rock at WrestleMania XIX against his biggest rival, The Rock.

Steve Austin, however, came out of retirement after 19 years at WrestleMania 38 to face Kevin Owens in one of the most impressive main event matches of all time. In a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, Stone Cold did admit that he gets the itch to step inside the ring ‘every now and then.’

However, Austin also admitted that professional wrestling was a young man’s yard and he possibly was not there anymore from a physical standpoint to do it.

“I am very much into reality, I go out out there and do something, but to answer your question, I think about it every now and then, but to go out and try to do it, be who I was, when you were an absolute machine … I consider myself a professional athlete because that’s who I was. As a professional athlete, I worked at the highest level and that’s a rough a** job and it’s a young man’s yard.”

Stone Cold also revealed the reason for missing WrestleMania 40, despite being contacted by WWE for an appearance. But recently, he dropped a tease about appearing at WrestleMania 41, set to take place in Las Vegas next year. But as for his in-ring career, it seems that Austin is done despite getting the urge to compete again.
