Steve Austin on Ric Flair, Cena-Reigns Promo, SRW, Fashion Police, Indies

Recent episode of Sean Waltman’s X-Pac 12360 podcast show had Steve Austin as the guest discussing a variety of topics including Ric Flair’s health, the Cena-Reigns promo from RAW, and more.

On the topic of Ric Flair’s health, Austin briefly mentioned he talked to Flair on Tuesday and how Flair was feeling better but wouldn’t go into details.

“I talked to him yesterday, on the phone, and he’s laughing. He’s got a ways to go and I will elaborate no further about that.”

On the topic of the Cena and Reigns promo from Monday’s RAW, Austin didn’t view it as a disaster for Reigns as others have felt online but instead more as a possible learning experience for Reigns to improve his promo skills.

“Anytime you go out to the ring and you didn’t learn something new, you probably missed an opportunity. I don’t care how good you are, you can always get better. So, if Roman learned something from that and he can capitalize on it and gain and improve in the future, props to him.”

When asked about other stuff from the WWE, Austin mentioned he’s a big fan of both Southpaw Regional Wrestling and the Fashion Police. In regards to Southpaw Regional Wrestling, Austin stated he loves the series and Rusev’s character being his favorite from Season 1. In regards to the Fashion Police, Austin said he’s a big fan of their Fashion Files skits.

“I watched all of season one, I’ve probably seen every episode six times. Jesus Christ, Rusev talking about the chickens and he almost breaks character … huge fan, I love it, I am about to watch Season 2… It’s so campy, and hokey and fun.”

“Fandango and Tyler Breeze together… and all of a sudden they put the Fashion Files out and I am like, when I watch Raw those guys, they crack me up. I’ll rewind their s–t, I don’t know how many times.”

When asked questions related to the indies, Austin mentioned he’s a big fan of Willie Mack and his use of the Stunner. He also teased at wanting to go to one of PWG’s upcoming Battle of Los Angeles shows since he has some free time available.

“Man, I think he does a good job with it and I’ve been wanting to have him on the podcast… I think it’s great. He’s a damn good worker to begin with. I got no problem with it at all. I think it’s bad ass.”

“We just got finished filming (Broken Skull Challenge) so I might undertake one evening of that. Because I’ve been wanting to check out that scene because I’ve heard how cool the atmosphere is and everybody buys in.”

Later in the interview, Austin mentioned about watching Ring of Honor but mainly from his DVR due to not being able to catch the shows when they air on television.

“I just never know what channel it’s on or how to watch it. I would DVR it because when I was filming (Broken Skull Challenge) I had a satellite and a big TV in my trailer.”
