The secret to the Stone Cold Stunner is doing it in a ring because the concrete has no give

The secret to the stunner is do it in a ring because you got a little bit of give. I hit my damn tailbone [on concrete] and every vertebrae in my back said, fuck you, don't ever do that again. So yeah, it works best inside a ring with a little bit of give.

The mechanics of wrestling rings are designed for impact absorption, unlike concrete floors.

The Stone Cold Steve Austin interview is on the Mount Rushmore of PMT interviews

Mount Rushmore. And I'm not even a huge wrestling fan. That was before my time, and I was still loving it.

This is a subjective internal ranking of show quality.

I think Antonio Brown is actually going crazy and having a mental break

I actually think Antonio Brown is – I think there's something wrong with him. I think that he's, like, going crazy. He's had, like – an actual mental break that doesn't mean that like we can't joke around about the whole helmet saga because that is fucking hilarious but I actually think that there's something wrong with the guy.

While AB's mental health was a subject of much debate, it is a subjective assessment without a formal diagnosis.

The Raiders lost their mystique by refusing to let Antonio Brown wear his old helmet and just paying the fine

In a backwards way, all Raiders mystique has been lost because... if the Raiders were to just give Antonio Brown his old helmet and just pretend that it's not happening, they would possibly get an infraction, a penalty, a fine, whatever it may be. But they won't do that. And guess what? Man card Raiders, the old Raiders, they would just let him wear like a fucked up helmet and be like, guess what? We just want our guy out.

This is a subjective take on team culture and branding.

Vince McMahon is the smartest person I've ever worked with

He's the smartest guy I've ever worked with. And I always tell everybody I've learned more working with Vince McMahon than I have anywhere in my life, including, you know, damn near five years of college.

Austin consistently maintains this stance in every interview, reflecting his subjective professional experience.

I will never wrestle another match in my life

I'll never wrestle another match in my life... I'll say it. I'm done. Never's a long time [but] no, it ain't worth it... I got the wrestling bug out of my system.

Incredibly incorrect. Stone Cold Steve Austin returned to the ring for a full-blown match against Kevin Owens in the main event of WrestleMania 38 on April 2, 2022.

My dream hypothetical match would be against Bruiser Brody

Bruiser Brody would be really high on my list. It'd obviously be in prime Stone Cold brawling years... because that's the only way a Stone Cold could have matched up with the power, force, size, and strength and wild man tactics of a Bruiser Brody.

This is a subjective preference for a hypothetical scenario.
