On a recent edition of his podcast show, WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin spoke to his guest WALTER about him being hit by a car at Survivor Series 1999 as “the worst storyline” he was ever involved with in wrestling. Below are some highlights (Transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Steve Austin on the Survivor Series car angle: “Yeah, about ’99 because I had to get my neck fused. I was gone for about a year … You caught the worst part of my career! Me being clipped by a god dang car! s–t, that was the worst storyline I was ever involved in. But we had to come up with a way so that we could get my ass out of the way. That was ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, I had to get my neck fused up and that was a suck-ass angle.”

Austin on his Ringmaster gimmick: “I had a similar gimmick, not gimmick. I had a similar name [WALTER’s ‘The Ring General’ nickname], ‘The Ringmaster’. If you talk about bulls–t… Hey man, that gimmick sucked ass!”
