16 Stone Cold facts you didn’t know about Steve Austin (With Pictures)

2. His Thoughts On People Taking His “Stunner”

You can imagine that Austin probably had a pretty solid sense of ownership over the moves that he made famous, which is why when stars like John Cena and Randy Orton started doing versions of it, you can understand why some fans thought Austin would be upset.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth, and when talking about that very thing, Austin also made sure to highlight how much he loves Cena, saying “Man, there’s not a bigger John Cena fan on Planet Earth than Steve Austin. There’s no one I respect more on that crew than Cena. If he wanted to use the ‘Stone Cold Stunner’ exactly as it was, I’d have no problem with it, and that’s the bottom line.”

Austin did admit that the only thing he had an issue with, was how often people would kick out of finishing moves and that it needs to be reserved for big moments like (in his eyes), when Austin and Rock both kicked out of finishers at WrestleMania 17.
