11. What He Would Say To Himself/Think As He Went To The Ring
If you’ve seen Steve Austin perform, especially perform matches that are a great deal of importance, then you’ve probably seen him talking to himself as he started to walk from backstage to the ring. It became such a trademark of the man, that Austin was asked about it during an interview where he replied that “I was extremely energized by the crowd reaction and at my competitive best, I was a laser guided missile that went out to do one thing- ENTERTAIN THE CROWD AND KICK ASS…MAKE PEOPLE GLAD THEY SPENT THEIR MONEY ON A TICKET, GOT THEIR MONEY’S WORTH…AND WANTED TO COME BACK NEXT TIME WE WERE IN TOWN TO SEE IT ALL AGAIN.”
There were a lot of really great words to describe the type of energy that Austin brought to the ring, but a ‘laser guided missile’ is as good a term as any!
