The UK Sun has posted a new interview with former WWE star Stone Cold Steve Austin. On the subject of both Hulk Hogan and possibly wrestling one more match, Austin had the following to say: "I'm lucky, you know my neck is 100 percent these days, I can do my own stunts and fight scenes where I can. I don't claim to be a tough guy, but I give it a go. My neck was fixed in 2000, I had to leave the ring because of the damage, but in my normal life and movies it's fine, although wrestling wise I'd be a total mess right now."
"You know I'm hearing Hulk is talking about getting back in the ring, even though his back is messed up. He was a big guy and all that wear and tear takes a toll on the back and the bigger the guy, the harder it is. But more power to him if he thinks he's fit to step in the ring.
He's the immortal and only Hulkster, so ultimately he knows his body best. I respect whatever decision he makes. I never thought I'd say it, but when I'm asked about one more match these days I do tend to say 'never say never.' So don't rule it out."
Jim Ross has updated his blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:
"Saw where the UK Sun interviewed Steve Austin about another of Steve's movies being released eminently. Again, when Austin said 'never say never' regarding him returning to the ring one can surmise that is true as long as Steve is healthy enough to want to train to get back into the ring but I would be shocked to see Steve ever want to wrestle anyone at anytime at any place in the future.
Could it happen? Sure. Will it happen? Highly unlikely. Let the rumors begin and the speculation run wild, BROTHER! Steve is immersed in is movie career and to get back into the ring would take time away from that endeavor as Austin would never step back in the ring without several weeks or perhaps even months of preparation. Stone Cold has too much pride to ever step in the ring merely for a pay day and not to give his fans a helluva bout."
