Steve Austin shares his candid thoughts

While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Steve Austin explained that he prefers to keep wrestling’s secrets hidden. He said he enjoys the mystery and does not want everything explained.“That’s where I’m a little old school on that. I’m a big magic fan, but if Harry Houdini is still around, I don’t want him to tell me how he does it, I want to figure out how he does it. If I can’t, then I’ll keep wondering and keep watching. Don’t tell me how he’s doing it, let’s see if I can figure it out myself. I know it’s not magic, it’s an illusion, but let me keep wondering about that illusion,” he said.

Austin was there on Night 2 to announce the attendance, but he did not stay for the main event match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena.“I didn’t see it,” Austin admitted. “[Did you go home?] Yes, I did. [Any particular reason?] No, I just wanted to beat the crowd, and I haven’t watched it back. I follow WWE on IG. That’s where I get most of my content. I’ll get the snippets and stuff that they play, and that’s what I see.”Also Read: Steve Austin breaks silence on WrestleMania 41 ATV crash: “I was embarrassed”Steve Austin loves wrestling the way it used to be, full of mystery and surprise.
