Stone Cold Steve Austin Puts the Stunner on Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

I was actually timing my heartbeat I'm making something's about to go wrong here your heart maybe my heartbeat hits about 150 something wrong these aren't laced with em feta means are they no now hey what's going on everybody for first we feast I'm Sean Evans and you're watching hot ones it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings and today we closed out season 9 with Stone Cold Steve Austin he's a six-time WWF World Heavyweight Champion and WWE Hall of Famer you can catch him on the award-winning podcast the Steve Austin show and he also has a new TV show it's called straight-up Steve Austin ketchup Monday is 11:10 central after Monday Night Raw on the USA Network stone cold welcome to the show glad to be here man it's gonna be a hell of an extravaganza I don't know what I've just got myself into but I'm ready to go with you well I know that you're in Edna Texas boy how do you handle your spice man in my environment back in the day I was a toughest sob in the history of the WWE here in front of you I might be the biggest sissy you've ever had on the show that remains to be seen and that's what we're about to find out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh sorry owner [Music] but yes good so as a show that forces scorching hot chicken wings on our guests were super interested in this movement towards experiential celebrity interviews do you think all those years clicking with wrestlers in the ring do you think that gives you an advantage when it comes to building chemistry with a TV show or podcast guests no miss stone cold steve austin back in the day a lot of people think guys a little bit wound up he's a little bit over their heads he's crazy you know he's always mad he drinks a lot I drink a little bit but uh III enjoy meeting people I enjoy talking people in and I'm curious by nature the more you do something the better you get at it so I'm hoping this season catches on so I can apply what I've learned this season into another season and to keep doing keep going from there but I don't I don't think being at W Superstar necessarily you know made me a natural at it [Music] I like the gradual kind of none of you we've got several to go here I like what you're doing here after I know that there's a method to your madness and I've enjoyed watching the shows that I've watched oh thank you you've seen it so you do kind of know what you're getting yourself into here absolutely so being a global icon in a national treasure the mythology around Stone Cold Steve Austin it's so vast so I think that it's only right early on in the interview that we clear the air on some of the lore surrounding the Texas rattlesnake factor fiction before you decided on stone cold the WWF gave you a list of possible nicknames that included fang mcfist chile mick freeze and otto von ruthless true this is way back in the day I was living on 10 acres at a log cabin out South Georgia and I was watching a special on HBO about richard kuklinski it was a serial killer he was a hit man and I'm not endorsing anything he did but he was this ruthless individual so I said okay there's some trace there that would make a good villain in the squared circle so I pitched the idea to the office and the Iceman had already been done at a local level down in Dallas my iceman king parsons so we didn't want to go down that road and so based on you know the my concept that I gave them they pitched me temperature base names it wasn't about being temperature based it's cold blooded you know like mean remorseless ruthless and so I was like you got to be kidding me this is a creative genius as WWE I mean they're supposed to make anybody and everybody and turn them into a superstar so the names were absolutely ridiculous and I could not believe that that was the best that they came up with is there any truth to the rumor that a hundred plus beers were consumed during that beer bash in Japan with Stacy Keibler and the Dudley's that is true now actually all the way consumed twelve ounce portions I don't know but spilled I had heard about 128 I don't think it's still a record but you come out of a session like that and like people say hey man you wasted most that damn beer I've got to show best part of it if I was just a sip at all and just drinking all it'd be a horrible visual so you got to get some on you but I'll tell there's been I don't know how many times I would come out of that ring and you leave with the bus yeah you going empty belly and it goes with all that beer you're gonna get a bus factor fiction you and Booker T cause $10,000 worth of damage to a grocery store brawling that is indeed what I heard the total damage was I believe that was called the green frog I think I was in Fresno California if I'm not mistaken I think the store closed down after there's nothing not because of that but after that and we had an absolute blast Booker and I have always had a chemistry going back from our days in Atlanta when we both worked for WCW he's one of the funniest guys I know and I just had him on my podcast as a matter of fact but yeah $10,000 where the damage was the sum total factor fiction you'll let the caboose loose while wrestling Yokozuna in South Africa had to yeah a lot of times when you do international tribes when you do an international travel and there's a dietary chain the cakes happen and manioc man he was weighing you know 600 evil pounds at the time and when he picked me up and slammed me things happened something went south and luckily I was wearing black trunks and yoga was so cool he's no longer with us and God rest his soul but I was laying there on the mat I just crapped my trunks and I looked at him I said yo let's go home go home is Russell speak for her let's do the finishing get out of here and he's so cool he goes okay brah and we did the finish I got meat and I walked to the back and took a hell of a shower [Music] chiquan dhis i don't want to be level three to be the one that makes me have a Yokozuna moment here on your show there's a seeds finale but what a finish it would be yes don't go out and he shit himself what's our language parameters you can go stone-cold unleashed here okay okay I don't want to go crazy this is starting to get a little out there I know that you're a driver's ed teacher as a senior at North Texas do you have a biggest driving pet peeve people don't use the blinkers number one use your effing blinkers please I mean you know it it's like if someone's it's someone's driving a car it's real bad shape you think okay what you know shit the blinkers just broke are that the you know the light doesn't work but then if it's someone in a real nice car like a Mercedes or BMW I was just an asshole he thinks he's entitled it needs hitting that uses blinkers but that's my number one pet peeve use your effing blinkers please and then do you still have a problem with rats on the ranch and know for a while there they were chewing up your Chevy trucks and Polaris Rangers there were a severe problem we never defeated them I sold the ranch about three years ago and we're now based out of Nevada of course I'm now fortunate enough to be driving Kawasaki mules and they don't touch my mules because there's not as many up there for some reason and we have a bunch of cats anybody in South Texas or in the remote areas you know are dealing with rats and they're a real problem you go out there to fire up your car sometimes it won't fire your lights don't fire so you always keep the hood up you know you put steel wool in your tailpipes you do the things you can do best thing is by cats the pro tips from Stone Cold Steve Austin are you're ready to move on to number four yeah you reading me Emma and your eyes I can see it look anyway boy you do to stay there while he's taking a bite out of these wings and say it's first rodeo there's gonna be the one that gets me so I know that you're a true student of professional wrestling and you're always very generous with your praise for those who've come before you and after pound for pound who was the most physically impressive athlete during your wrestling days hmm dad my kid back in his day was very cutting edge just a snap suplex is diving off the top ropes I mean he was really innovative the way he did things we he executed things in a ring he would be someone that I would put on a list that I highly respected besides herself who had the best mic skills during the Attitude Era you can not overlook the rock when he first arrived on the scene he was this good-looking you know third generation babyface and just people just didn't take to him and it was a dire akhi die die rocky dining put him in the nation of domination and he has sent it to the top of that organization and he started wearing this the silk shirts and he started referring to himself in third person and working out eyebrow and he electrified and captivated crowds with his catchphrases his cadence and his delivery and his message and called everybody to brony knowing your role so yes I was an outstanding promo in my own right and had my own style but Rock commanded the audience's respect attention and it elicited the response that he was looking for from them who had the most insane pre-match ritual I don't know who had the most insane but who had this simplest was Jake the snake Roberts because it's back in the day when he carried the snake and the bag that the snake would be laying on say a trash can with a flat top or maybe on the floor and Jake would it be walking around he never went to the gym and he'd be smoking a cigarette and all of a sudden they'd hit next music he'd take a final drag off that cigarette crush it out with his foot throw the snake over his back and just walk to the ring no warm-up no nothing that's how he did it dragging on a cigarette and once Jake got in the ring he commanded your respect and he had this presence about him and he's one of the most economic efficient workers out there where he didn't do a whole lot but everything he did had meant something and he was always working for that DDT so he was phenomenal in that right but the simplicity of his warm-up routine would stand out more than the craziest routine that I can think of all right so Nicole we have a recurring segment on our show called explain that Graham where we do a deep dive on I guess Instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context so I'll bust out the laptop I'll show you the picture you just tell me the bigger story does that sound good yep all right [Music] here you are doing some work on the ranch in all your years and ranching have you ever flipped a tractor been bitten by a snake when you think about broken skull and the near emergencies is there a story that stands out there's a couple times when we're mowing the ponds we would call them tanks in Texas a waterhole the the embankments are pretty damn steep and I used to work for the highway department when I was a kid you know so I'm used to driving on the overpasses and stuff like that Mon the size of highways but there's there's a kind of a pucker factor we'd call it and you're dragging a 15-foot batwing shredder behind you which kind of gives you a little bit of a low center of gravity here keeps you anchored to the ground but just the fact that if you hit a hog Waller or something like that you just know that that tractors going to flip over and your answer is going to be upside down in the water and ain't nobody gonna get you out of there so many many near cases of that or just pucker factor never got bit by rattlesnake I heard a few and they have a very distinct rattle when you're walking to your deer stand and all of a sudden one starts rattling at units that come back that come to Jesus moment and I don't hear very well but then you can hear that I could hear damn rattlesnake you know like like it's nobody's business what do you remember about meeting Muhammad Ali Paul Orndorff is a guy right there to look to the left side of that picture he actually took a pair of boxing gloves to get Muhammad Ali to sign them but Muhammad Ali was simply the greatest boxer that ever lived in such a charismatic personality that he had this global worldwide following of people who absolutely loved him I've never met anybody that said anything bad about Muhammad Ali because he was just universally loved by literally everyone so it was really cool to remember that I met the goat sip of tequila for the working man do you have a go-to margarita recipe oh yeah so basically I'm working with a 3-ounce shot glass got it I go patron silver just because you can go a higher-grade tequila that's gonna be a lot smoother but you're gonna need a little bit of bite in that margarita so three ounces of tequila I may pour this in a shaker about an ounce to an ounce and a half of triple sec about an ounce to ounce in a quarter of lime juice people get carried away with lime juice most time when you go to restaurants and you give it something that just tastes like lime a and it just kills you no can do that's the biggest mistake rookies make or bartenders there's no no there shit with the margarita just a spray of a ghave nectar just a few drops so you shake that up in a shaker right and then you pour it out on fresh rocks and then you float about an ounce of Grand Marnier on top and that's the brothers go Rance margarita and each one you drink is a triple so by the time you drink two of my margaritas that's tequila you're good yeah now I'm not good but but you would be good heating up mmm so when you're chatting with Hulk Hogan on your podcast recently you guys were talking about wrestling and Japan and how crazy it was in the 70s why does that era why does that scene why does that have such a special place and wrestling insiders hearts just going back to the old Japan days that's when it was really kind of still considered a shoot you know welcome back to the dressing Oh many times you're like in Kansas City a Harley Race you know there there's guys you know stories of guys getting stabbed and gaff you know my knives from fans because they were so you know bought into the fact of what they were saying if the heels were getting heat or you know beating up done and the good guys and they really cared about those good guys hell man a lot of times those bad guys had to fight their way to the dressing room and so that's but it's those old Japan days memories like that that harken up those fond memories of what the business really was in its core what were the fans in osaka like compared to say a sold-out crowd at the dallas/fort areum if you work in front of a Japan crowd and you're from the states they're very they're very quiet and certain things make them come or fire up differently than a stateside crowd would be so like maybe these two guys work and it's complete silence and one of them as a submission hold on the other one and that one guy gets to the ropes or they'll start to pop for that or if a guy's starting to get just kind of shelled on then all of a sudden he just comes up with this fire and starts you know responding that gets that crowd so much different from an from an audible level of storytelling by listening to the crowd I don't hear very well but once you put me in an arena full of 20,000 people if the sumbitch up there Row 100 booing and everybody else is sharing I know exactly where he's at and I and I'm not I'm not worried about him but I'm just saying that's how in tuned I am with the crowd because you're always reading a crowd whether you're going by the script that everybody talks and is talking about or you're calling it on the fly you're listening to that crowd because if you're not working that crowd you're doing it wrong hell I want shad come over here and boy he was sweating bullets and Gordon Ramsay was dropping f-bombs everywhere and look at you well like I said I think I there was a setup here if those guys cuz III haven't got a chance I'd love to be Gordon Ramsay I met you five times but Shaq was really but he said he wasn't gonna show him faces he did pretty good he maintained his composure for a while he started sweaty [Music] it's like people they gonna say something profound here I was actually time in my heartbeat I'm making something's about to go wrong here your heart maybe my heartbeat hits about a hundred and fifty something wrong these aren't laced with them feta means all they know now yeah I'm totally dry I'm checking my biological and physiological responses as you're sitting there looking at we've got them hooked up to the biometrics over you okay uh yeah that was starting to get there yeah yeah that was starting to get there I know I can go one deeper but now would I'm feeling that one mm-hmm yeah what you got for me so as a guy who embraces the simple pleasures but also has an appreciation for the things that are badass I know that you're very proud of the project you've done with El Segundo Brewing Company broken skull IPA are you of the belief that the beer you drink says something about the person yes it does and I stand by that beer I worked on that beer sitting at table just like this very much like this with Rob crock saw the owner of El Segundo Brewing Company and we decided to collaborate on a beer we had 10 to 15 beers on the table that we both liked and/or fancied or had some quality to them and so as we were drinking these beers I would explain to him and I don't really necessarily speak beer terminology but I'm a pretty good expert at drinking beer and I would explain ok this is hitting me admit I like some a little bit more mid palate some of them hit you to to up front or some linger too long some are to better and I would explain the way each beer affected me or where resonated with me on my taste buds and I was so proud to be down there in Tampa at their raw reunion and I got a good buzz and I was proud to be drinking my frickin beer after all these years of drinking everybody else's don't want to do this for the people for Season nine more by the sales pitch never heard one we we got a do it we got yo we're in it together we're in this Duvall Jesus you should have been a wrestling promoter I would love to do that oh my damn nose is running I even got it close to my mouth yes Isaac oh man my learned it I'll do it got to [Music] I've shown my rage here anybody just take a bite out of his leg no but you know what I wouldn't ask you something sure I'm kidding you I'm just fuckin right here time in my heart right mm-hmm you ever had anybody come by anytime heart rate they're the first one yeah I'm 90 Seasons deep mattress I'm Rudy some people call me fucked up I like to say unique it sound better so one of my favorite things about listening to the Steve Austin show is hearing you and other wrestlers talk shop and trade war stories from your years in the business and I've come to figure out that wrestling lingo is the best kind of lingo what does color mean what does cheap cheapy it is if you and me a working imagine I'm the bad guy and I would have spent on you but that's cheapy because anybody could have done that what do you mean when you say calling high spots say a high spot is you know now we need some motion we need to do something to elicit response tackle drop down hip toss if I have you know headlock you're gonna shoot me off you're gonna take the tackle I'm gonna run a ropes you'll drop down i'ma jump over you and then you're gonna hip toss me on the way back so a high spot is movement within the match what's the receipt a receipt is I'll give you a great story if you lay something in too hard then the other person has got to send you receive this as they dude settle down sit away a long time ago I was working with the big bossman ray trailer ray travels about six six three hundred pounds he was a farmer you know prison guard and that was his gimmick big boss man and Ray hit me with about six left's you know and referee Earl Hebner kind of sitting there watch and he's kind of got that shit-eating grin on his face he's kind of smiling because he knows I'm only gonna take a few more so finally I decided I've had enough so I picked up ray and getting raised six six about 300 some odd pounds I sent him into the ropes and I told him I said watch a clothesline so when I tell the guy watch the clothesline normally you're gonna hit a guy right here you don't hit him in an Adam's apple you just want to hit him here with enough force so through through his axis a pivot point he can take his bump and land on his back here comes ray six six well I decided you know this was a receipt I'm not gonna give him a clothesline what I did I balled up my fist like that with my form and as he was coming I would say em I hit him right between eyes at my form with everything I had and big ray went down and he's on his hands and knees and those hands is on his knees he's damn near as tall as I am and but he looked up at me like this and there's almost like a Saturday morning cartoon where stars going around as a head like s and he has it's modeled his face because he knew he fucked up and he goes okay and he was recognized in the fact that I gave him a receipt and he didn't T off on me for the rest of the night all right stone cold hold on goddamn heart rates about 130 [Music] I'm still in a safe zone I should have wore my heartrate monitor tell me about this one this is the chocolate plague from pucker but pepper company see did you need to know all that well I did it tells me what's gonna happen tomorrow okay I was trying to give him a receipt story and that sumbitch was kicking my ass I gave you a rout I tell that story in a much better fashion but my mouth was on fire so I didn't get there that's great it is milk my friend at this point most of French sipping milk for the working man is this gonna be hot or nothing so much I just hate it well now you're such a liar I wouldn't lie to you I'd be an idiot to lie to you in this situation but is is you're gonna compound the fact that I've got a residual this building I think that we're already past the point of no return you know it's like we've we've been drenched in a shower who cares if it rains you're so full of shit it's unbelievable I'm buying it I'm going with you I know I shouldn't but I'm going to I'm not I'm not a hot person could have fooled me you're doing great [Music] do you have a favorite WWE bra cameo from a non wrestler the Mike Tyson stuff was always very compelling I love doing business Mike when he came down and Vince McMahon introduced him a long time ago in the middle of the ring and he was gonna referee the match between myself at Shawn Michaels in Russell 814 and I came down there and got in his face flipped him off and he pushed me and I tried to get back at him and I was trying as we would say going back to wrestling go for a shoot to get back at him of course I did one want to get back at him but it had to look real and it was but when he pushed me all of these hundred-dollar bills just flew out of his suit if you go back on YouTube watch it and you'll watch all of his handlers down on hands and knees picking up hundred-dollar bills and I'm kicking and scratching in Brisco slaughter all the guys are holding me back but work with Mike Tyson because there's such a fan of the business and a historian of the business and he actually probably knew more about the history of the business and a lot of guys that were backstage might just him him by himself as a person I just love the guy all right stone cold Oh [Music] this is the last dab we call it the last dab because it's tradition around here to put a little extra on the last wing you don't have to if you don't want to follow the way just toss it up to me so I can eat their puss out or go down swinging with you you sorry son of a bitch tell me what I'm about to give us help into well it's described death to me tell me what I'm about to get myself into Grim Reaper here's I'm saying I think that you have gone you know we're approaching the peak you know of this spice mountain that were climbing together yes and I don't see a drop of sweat on you you know I've stared across this table for so many crazy things from people doing laps to spitting in buckets to pouring milk up their nose to dumping water over their head and you were just calm cool and collected telling amazing wrestling stories and pound in chicken it's it's absolutely a sight to behold and it's a lovely segue to this last question okay what is it first we feast there you go better remove oh you wanna do this together yeah sure sure Steve all right Stone Cold Steve Austin here we are at the end of our tag-team match against the wings of death but before we go just one more finishing move before they hit the bell I know that you take a lot of pride in your ability to cut a promo and for good reason you're one of the best who's ever done it and then that Austin 3:16 it's still a household catchphrase some 25 years later so with that in mind I'm curious what is your message to the people out there including some on your old team who thought that you'd get suplex today by the wings of death i watch Gordon Ramsay I watched Shaq and those guys were sweating bullets and cussing and raising all kinds of hell so for me to be able to wing this no pun intended have a wonderful sit-down conversation with you who obviously does a shitload of research was one of the defining moments of my entire life Wow well I am humbled beer me Chris [Music] a toast to

Stone Cold's perfect margarita:

3oz shotglass, Patron Silver
1.5oz Triple Sec
1.25oz lime juice
few drops agave nectar
pour over ice
1oz Grand Marnier on top

Sounds fucking perfect

[u/Fellers]

That Yoko story LMAO. Also, imagine having Steve as a driving teacher.

[u/BigSeth]

His lack of reaction to Da Bomb was disappointing.

[u/HunkMuffinJr]

Austin no sold damn near the entire board to go over in the end. What a legend. I wish they could have talked about his run-ins with Bigfoot and Ned the Loch Ness Monster.

[u/Frosty_McRib]

Stone Cold burying creative was my favorite part.

[u/OmegaSoc]

No matter how many interviews, podcasts, etc he does, I never get tired of hearing Stone Cold.

[u/aguilaclc]

You are always listening to the crowd, because if you are not working that crowd, you're doing it wrong.

- Steve Austin

[u/mrcarlita]

I know this should be a given, but I'm glad there's plenty of wrestling talk and anecdotes

[u/EggTee]

Damn, Steve was great. Also I didn't know the terminology for a highspot was what Stone Cold explained.

The host seemed to be a legit wrestling fan too.

Real good shit.
