8 Things We Learned From Steve Austin On Stephanie McMahon's WWE Show
1. Seeing Top WWE Stars Mark Out Will Always Be Fun
Stephanie’s Places runs footage of WWE names like Becky Lynch, Pat McAfee and others in the crowd for WrestleMania 38. McMahon said that they were all hidden in amongst a sea of humanity, but so many of them badly wanted to be out there live to experience that moment. They’d grown up watching Austin, so they couldn’t miss it or camp out in front of a monitor backstage.
They all needed to feel the energy of the live crowd.
'Stone Cold' was tickled by that. His mind was firmly on business for 'Mania 38 though. It was no joke to wrestle a match (even a wild, distraction-filled brawl) for the first time in 19 years, and he knew he had to be on it or he'd potentially embarrass himself. Kevin Owens was the perfect opponent on the night. It's cool that KO got to headline WrestleMania opposite a childhood hero before recent neck injury issues started plaguing his own career.
Steph's show didn't discuss that. In fact, they didn't really talk about Owens much at all. Full focus was put on Austin doing everything in his power to put on a show worthy of the 'Stone Cold' legacy. From a fan's perspective, seeing other 'Mania headliners like Lynch loving every single second from the audience is awesome.
'Big Time Becks' was basking in some 'Stone Cold' comeback goodness. McAfee was a wee bit too busy filming clips or maybe even shooting his own 'shocked YouTuber face' reactions for socials, but Lynch didn't have her phone out. She decided to live it in the moment. That's so cool.
