Steve Austin Reaffirms That He Is "100%" Retired

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin looks set to go down as the one retired professional wrestler who actually stays retired, if his new interview with FOX Sports' Ryan Satin is anything to go by.

Here's what the WWE legend had to say on the matter:-

"I’m still the biggest fan of the business that I was when I was seven years old changing the channels and stumbled across it; and then got the chance to learn it and have a pretty good run. So, I don’t want to do nothing else in the ring. I’m done. I’ve retired. Everybody knows that. I don’t need to go out there and drop anybody on a stack of dimes and give them stunners. Once in a year, once every two years, whatever. So, yes. This connection makes sense."

Austin's last match was his third WrestleMania bout with The Rock, which went down in March 2003. 'Stone Cold' only wrestled thrice that year, with his other two contests being sub five-minute clashes with non-wrestler Eric Bischoff.

Now 56 years old, Austin suffered greatly from a number of medical issues throughout his career, including severe neck problems after the botched piledriver spot opposite Owen Hart at SummerSlam '97. His neck would haunt him until the day he retired, with Austin suffering a particularly bad flare up in late 2001.
