Stone Cold was the reason how the Attitude Era had happened. GIVE ME A HELL YEAH!
He was the part of it but bret hart actually started the attitude Era
No! Stone Cold was a part of it. But the Attitude era was inspired by
EC
F'N
W
I would say the conflict between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels was a big part of what started it. Steve was a guy who just naturally fit in the Attitude Era like a glove.
What!!!!!!!!!
Michael Hayes was attitude for me when I was growing up....not a guy wearing knee braces
REST IN PEACE...Larry King
That JEW is rotting in hell
Stone Cold and The Rock coming into the company at the same time that was the golden era of wrestling
You're totally off your rocker. The "golden age" was mid 80's to early 90's. Andre, Piper, Hogan, Macho Man, etc...
@@lastlaff2777 I think it's debatable - when the Monday night wars were on, the Outsiders and the NWO and it was really WWF vs WCW that was a pretty amazing time in wrestling - I guess maybe the "golden age" was earlier but the boom in the 90s was quite incredible and can't be denied.
I dunno, I think the golden era was with Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. That late 80’s to the early 90’s era. So many characters! Just my opinion.
Triple H, Stone Cold and the Rock took it to a level way beyond that of the 1980's. But i concede the 1980's had the better Characters, the late 1990's it went global.
R.i.p wwe and the woke era we have now
Steve is a standup dude. Blue collar at his heart, but bigger than he knows. He raised a generation in the 90’s. That generation is slowly fading out sadly. But, he’s a global icon and a national treasure!
Most outstanding WWE icon
I'm imagining him stunning Larry King 😂
jeffpro18 fact..the first look Larry gave him same as a mouse to a 🧀 😂😂
Fuck up jeff
He can't stun anymore his spinal and his heart needs rest otherwise it will damage his body
Hehehe
Dude thats hilarious
steve Austin IS my childhood. I have so much respect for him even now when I'm 26 I still have the respect for the guy
Steroidasaurus Flex At 26, like I am now, we should have even more respect for him.
yea for sure, cant imagine what my childhood would ve been without stone cold
Fact that he loves his dogs gained a new level of respect from me
Same I'm 27, this guy was my life as a kid. Wrestling Is dead now but I'll still watch old clips of this guy and it still brings me chills sometimes...
I'll be 35 in May, and I was very blessed to have grown up through the Attitude Era. It was something special, and Austin was a huge part of that time in my life.
Steve is so damn likeable.
I never met him, but I saw Hulk once, and saw Macho Man filming a Slim Jim commercial, or something, at a gym. Both the same, nice guys. Likely a lot of them are like that.
Unless you're his wifes. And you get beatin up while he is drunk.
@@isaackappy7776 Did he ever do that?
@@artfartzy yes arrested too.
@@isaackappy7776 damn didnt know that, thx for info
This dude is one fantastic interviewee, man. Smart, articulate, sharp and funny. Stone Cold legend out here 🏆
Everything Austin Says is a promo. Sometimes I think Stone Cold was never a character, it was genuinely Steve’s nickname as a professional wrestler.
He’s an entertainer
I have a brother named Rob Brown.
A national icon
How's Larry King just reading out SpaZtic as spastic straight out.
Thank god his wife told him to drink fast otherwise he could have been known as ‘Warm Tea Steve Austin’
Or Lukewarm Steve Austin
That was awful... and yet I laughed my ass off😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Coulda been Herbal Steve Austin
@@richarac81 green tea Austin 😂
Not god but God
A badass in WWE but a very wise and respectful man. The best!
He's a very well-read and educated man.
Yes and still a bum
Angel george Idiot, Undertaker is the best!
His brawl with Mike Tyson was fun xD
@Mrhotdog 101 lol nice man. TEXAS FTW
I miss stone cold. If I could go back in time, I'd choose the attitude Era time. Best time to be pro wrestling fan.
You are not alone! Bring back the greatest era of all time in WWF/WWE!!!
Yeah it sucks that it'll probably never be that cool to be a wrestling fan again
Okay boomer
@@guitarmanmrh2180 Ok unthinking unoriginal parrot.
Let's just be happy that we lived through it
Never even watched WWE but I've listened to a bunch of Steve Austin's interviews, what a cool dude
I witnessed Stone Cold Live as a Child. The Stunner in person was my favorite childhood moment. Those who grew up in the WWF Attitude Era get where I’m coming from. Truly blessed for having lived that. 🙏🏼
Watched him double stun Kane and undertaker as a child live.
So good
Austin looks like a genuine and tough guy. Remembers his first girlfriend and blushes when questioned about her. As he said, would have been a shy kid. Would have been great to have him as a personal friend.
How has Steve Austin not been on JRE yet
JoeRogan should be on Stone Cold's podcast.
Maybe joe isn't a big fan of the professional wrestling business
@Jimmy Peeps Diamond Dallas Page, Jesse Ventura, and Jake "The Snake" Roberts are the only ones.
Alexis MM what’s jre
ive been commenting that one JRE videos for years
What a genuine guy, not a lot of people like that. every question asked, was answered...straight from the heart.
What a class act Steve Austin is. Thank you for years of entertainment, Steve. All the best to you and your family.
He literally is Texas through and through. The man exhibits grace, integrity, honesty and sincerity. Its not all just an act. I believe him. He knows the drill with pro wrestling. Its all show, but at the end of the day, we all go home to our lives safe sound secure. He is humble about his career. He knows he worked at it and is unselfishly unafraid to come right out and say so.
........AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.💪
TEXAS!
Because stone cold said so
He's an American national treasure.
Best comment on this video! Many ways of proving it, but the one's who get it, understand it!
JR Ewing Texas!! 🤘🏾🤠
I wish no one get old. Cause I would love to have characters like Steve Austin young and fit to give us the best entertainment will end of time. Miss this guy. My favorite personality in the wrestling industry.
This interview make me feel like i can accomplish anything in life...
Me too
If this Stone Cold Interview was awesome give me a HELL YEAH
What!!?
HELL YEAH
HELL YEAH! And thats the bottom line, cuz STONE COLD SAID SO!
Suleiman jj lolol whatt
@@Epic11121 what !!?
Im a simple man, i see stone cold, i click
Tired of this fucking phrase," I'm a simple man, i see (insert name), i click".... Be original
Rasun FrmQns WHAAT!!??
silva lining WHAAT!??
@@Chev987 At least he's honest. He's repeating a tired phrase and admitting to it.
Steve was a villain but he never felt like it because he was so badass
Badass indeed i love him!!!!
He was an anti hero most the time, not a villian
He’s the greatest Anti-Babyface in Wwe history
nah, he wasn't no villain, vigilante on occasion. Setting things straight maybe, but no villain.
wait he was the villain? i never got that energy
Love how Larry King just gets straight into their lives and doesn’t hold back. The best way to interview someone is to ask them direct personal questions to get the real truth
The only reason I watch the beginning of RAW (still) is something tells me I'll hear the sound of glass breaking and Stone Cold walking out beer in hand....Still waiting...
Keep waiting lol
The sound of that glass breaking is probably my favorite noise of all time.. What a fucking legend
+1
I'd give anything to hear the glass break, the heavy riff and JR announcing: "The Texas Rattlesnake has arrived!"
Next week you'll.here. he is coming back
@@UKnowWhatItIs151 Raw this Monday. March 16th. 3.16 day.
Stone Cold Steve Austin was, is and forever will be my favourite wrestler ever. Dude was literally my childhood.
Steve is a very humble, very down to earth human being
When an interview is 25 minutes long but feels like a five minute one, that´s a damn good interview!! ...and that´s the bottom line!
Check out his broken skull show interviewing the legends of wrestling.
I always think, if it was not for WWF attitude era... what would be my childhood be lke?... Stone cold, The Rock, Shawn , Triple H, Undertaker, Edge... Raw is War, Smackdown... It was amazing!!
mention kurt angle and chris jericho man
@@crisvaylon4280 Kane
@@crisvaylon4280 there is so much more tho. Eddie, Benoit, John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar and even more
You heard it here, Bret the Hitman Hart was one of two of Austin's toughest opponents. The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
He inspired me to lift 2 beers in the aire ,n that's the bottom line
Really like hearing him speak nicely of other wrestlers. Too often all you hear is old wrestlers being negative and trash talking their former colleagues.
He's brilliant to this day. The GOAT.
Stone cold along with Mick Foley might be the most down to earth guys in wrestling history.
They travelled together in their WCW days.
Travis S undertaker and Kane.
Travis S Undertaker is very down to earth as well. Very approachable in real life.
Big show too
The rock too
Stone cold and the rock were my favorite I had the pleasure to grow up watching these guys in there.
Stone Cold is a living legend.
Damn when I see stone cold this makes me cry man !! Growing up in jamaica my mom made sure I didnt miss a paper view during the 90s 😥 miss you rip.
Good times, austin is a legend. Too bad wrestling is goofy nowadays :(
RIp?!! He ain't dead
@@lourenmurithii3462 He said RIP to Steve's wrestling career.
louren murithii I think he talking about his mum?
God bless her soul
This was a good interview. Austin speaks well, without much stumbling over words.
ono 724 Public speaking. It’s a refined art!
He was unbelievable on promos. Steve is the best
WOW!!! really bold of Mister Larry King to take Stone Cold's line at the end of the clip...anyone else would have earned a Stunner!
PirateChest stunned him off camera
Steve is bold all the time
PirateChest Larry would have got 'em with a Thez Press.
he definitely should have put the stunner on Larry King...
you know you gotta put a spoiler alert on something like this!!!! lol
I love how authentic this interview is. The quick fire rapid questions and stone cold just giving the answers as real as it gets. Guys a legend
Most def
WWF was every th ing
Stone Cold started the Attitude Era .💪💪💪💪
Razor Ramon more early
One key component, but not the only one.
Steve Austin and The rock is the atitude era and Taker is there sorry!
Stone cold is the attitude era
Stone Cold and the Rock are my favourite wrestlers.
Their rivalry was the best of the golden era. As good as it gets.
The two greatest ever
Agreed
They were the best personalities and characters in wrestling history in my opinion. However I think the best in ring wrestlers from a technical standpoint were HBK and Rey Mysterio in my opinion.
I never watch them wrestle I was too small bt I watch their promos again and againmuch better thn 3hr raw.. aired now respect and luv from India
He was the main attraction/the centerpiece of the height of the WWE. I only watched because of him. The rock was known because Austin brought in sooo much viewership
Nah Stone Cold himself said there was nothing like the Rocks charisma
Saturday Night Live too. Also Mike Tyson helped him
@@moneymaker4028 And Bret Hart helped Austin get there.
Larry King asked more questions in this interview then he ever did in all his interviews on cnn
U can tell he was an athlete by the way he catches the beers in the ring. perfect hand eye coordination
"And that's the bottom line because Larry King said so," lmao
Stone cold an the rock need to make a movie but not involving WWE studios whatsoever.
Rabid wolverine I would love that. That's the dream.
Yeah ,something like expandibles
That's what I want to happen it will be the best movie two prowrestlers ever made
i loved the condemned
lol I always thought they should have used him as the bad guy in fast and furious that Jason stathem plays hahaha
I just love this guy.
Thank you Austin 💗
I remember Steve Austin when he was call Stunning Steve Austin as part of a tag team called the Hollywood Blondes. Then he became Stone Cold Steve Austin. One of my favorite wrestlers. Glad to see he moved on from wrestling and is doing good. Great interview.
Then he became the Ring Master (Managed by The Million Dollar Man) THEN he became Stone Cold.
I will always be a big Austin fans for life. Believe that.
Marco Caraballo
The same here.
I loved when he used to grab a Budweiser in the middle of the Ring after a match what a class act
Lucky to have been at Wrestlemania X8 and seen him vs Scott Hall. The attitude era was my entire childhood and I will cherish it forever
Larry is old as f yet still can relate to his audience much respect
AUSTIN HAD CHANGED PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING IN 1997 AND HE IS THE GREATEST SUPERSTAR OF ATTITUDE ERA....
HARSH BADOLA of all Time !!!!
well i would say he had a team that made it so great
*Greatest CHARACTER of the Attitude Era.
96
BEN GHANA nah
15 years later, we will be seeing “Steve Austin NOW!”
6:39, I love how humble Austin is. Work ethic is two thirds of success, the other third is luck.
HALF of success is work ethic. The other half is 1 quarter luck, 1 quarter preparation.
"sometimes when you get out of bed, you get out a little slow. But whatever it is that you do WILL catch up with you"
A pair of legends in their respective fields on the screen here. Steve Austin just seems like a guy you'd like to be friends with.
This man is just as genuine as they come. I grew up watching him in Wrestling and respected the shit out of him. Now as an adult, and I listen and watch programs like this, I respect him even more.
Didn’t he beat Debra up
@@TheJordi748 Stunnered her through a glass table.
Stone Cold Steve Austin answers questions like he’s on a game show lol
Stone cold was my whole childhood, my favorite wrestler of all time and I remember as a kid I tried to be just like him, man there are so many memories.
Austin was a very underrated worker in the ring. Along with the having mic skills that were second to none, he also really knew his way around the ring, and had a knack for engaging the crowd. IMO, WWE doesn't have anyone on their roster who has a quarter of the ability to get the crowd going as Austin did. If that were the case, WWE would be a decent product right now.
Omg! Why do people always say someone under rated on youtube! That is so ridiculous! I always hear how he was great worker! Time and time again. How is he underrated? Thats just silly! He s in top 3 best ever
@@Johnnyrocks34 top 2
Isn't bodybuilding and other popular sport like boxing, karate cooler than WWE?
@@Johnnyrocks34he was definitely before he got his neck broken, after that he had to switch his style to more brawling and ground-based
this guy was to his generation what roddy piper was to his... gotta luv those loud talkin', boot stompin' heels
the correct term is "anti-hero"
As much as I love the Rowdy one, he wasn't stone cold, stone cold was given the ball, the company was scared to give rowdy the ball
grant blair piper??? You mean Hulk Hogan level. Hogan and Austin are the 2 most popular wrestlers in history
He was a BABYFACE, hello.
grant blair Austin's heel run leading up to his turn with Brett was my favorite part of his career. I thought he was awesome. Maybe even my favorite heel. Well, except for Flair. He's probably my favorite but they were so different there really is no comparison.
Steve Austin, Dwayne Johnson and Mark Calaway are the 3 greatest of all time for me. They were the reason I loved wrestling as a kid and it's never been the same since those days. 90's were the best
mick foley though!
Didn't know you did this interview Mr. Larry King! Great stuff. One of my favorite wrestlers, heroes.
"I wasn't the best looking guy"....?....does he own a mirror?....Austin is one helluva handsome man by any standard!
Stone Cold is in my top 5 greatest WWE talent.
RIP Larry. One of the best in the business
Been sick with flu for 2 or 3 weeks and covered the top to bottom on youtube about steve austin between his greatest promos,matches and interviews. The man never disappoints. Everything he does is top class.
Steve strikes me as a good fellow.
He also struck his wife good
@@marchatesyou1 If you had to hear nagging with a broken neck, you'd snap too.
He is a good a good fellow
marchatesyou1 good for him.!
He’s been with current wife for 13 years and never had a problem with that.
Steve Austin = Legend
his charisma and magnetism is what drew people into watching him and relating to him you couldnt take your eyes off the guys u are just drawn into him with his energy
I love how exuberant and zestful Steve is about everything he's saying.
Fantastic interview, thank you Larry and Stone Cold is the maaaaan! 💪💀
Larry king: "you fear snakes?"
The rattle snake Steve Austin:
My favourite wrestler, love his accent ❤
So agreed!
Just want to say you’re picture looks gorgeous and that’s the bottom line....
@@BIOOHAZARD Creep
Gandalf The Grey You think you’re funny insulted me like that
Dose it make you feel good
Dose it make you more as human being
Dose it make you special
Dose it makes you proud
As so many of us do. I've always loved stone cold.. he played the rebel. I've always connected.
I couldn't imagine what it would be like to experience, having other people cheer for you for years. Your face plastered on posters.. it must change you.
This man is a gem. Im 30 in 7 days.. and while I don't watch wrestling anymore. I couldn't never forget how invested I was every Monday and Thursday (Sundays were meh) .. it meant the world to me.
It's been 10+ years since I've watched wresting.. but when I see Steve Austin.. I click
Austin is a stand up guy always liked him
Never thought you could get ‘middle class’ and ‘Steve Austin’ in the same sentence.
Nice he admits he wasn’t the best looking or most talented wrestler - though I think he underrates his technical ability.
I'm grateful to have watched this man from Stunning Steve Austin all the way to the end. He defently had one great ride.
Joe Davidson
He certainly did.
And with that, I have no further comment.
I absolutely love this man so much I've not seen him in 15 years and its like he has never left me
Austin still looks great!
Jeremy Voel-Pel he really hasn't aged that much in the last 20 years has he?
F E no, he hasn't! It's crazy. Kudos to the texas rattlesnake
Jeremy Voel-Pel well with that look its hard to tell if he’s aging and that goatee is dyed with brown tint
Steve Austin is cool AF. Just a great guy, sharp, charming, interesting, cool cool guy.
Very true.
Glad to have not skipped through any of this. Such a great interview, loved every second of it! Steve Austin is one of the greatest.
I like Steve Austin and it's really great to hear more about him. He's very knowledgeable in the things he's passionate about but all-round cool dude 👍 His growly voice and that twang 😉
Stone Cold is the best wrestler of the Attitude Era and even though I haven't watched wrestling since Inwas 13 I still pay attention to this guy. He is a real person.
I got 2 words for ya... All Elite (AEW)
Never going to be a wrestler as popular as stone cold...never.
James Hofman nope
James Hofman The Rock
Qusef He’s a more popular person due to his movies and Hollywood success. In terms of just wrestling personas, Stone Cold is head and heels above everyone else.
Ummmmmm... THE MIZ!
The most over PRO WRESTLER in history.
What I love about this is Larry kept his word and came on Steve's show as well
RIP Larry king. Always liked Steve Austin
Stone Cold obviously doesn't realize it but he was the first anti-hero. He and The Rock made it cool to be unpredictable. They were cheered not because they were good guys but because they represented themselves and their uniqueness with confidence.
Watched Wrestling since the early 90's, was a complete mark for Davey Boy Smith, moved away from wrestling in the mid 90's and became a fan again around 1998, at the time being a fan of Taker, I gravitated towards Austin and The Rock and they were as much a part of my teenage years as Bulldog was a part of my childhood
Stone Cold Steve Austin my favorite wrestler EVER!!!
No more wwe after Stone Cold... thank you for giving us that era of entertainment.
A great interview. Which is how all interviews should be done.
The “What exactly is the bottom line ?” Question was golden! Lol 😂🤣
Excellent interview, ty
There will never be another stone cold! God bless you brother
Awesome Video And Stone Cold Steve Austin is My Favorite WWF Wrestler
Larry said ben-oyt 😂😂
Great interview! I really enjoyed this.
He's only playing, a character. He's a really nice guy humble.
