He reaches into the cooler and pulls out a beer. > >Austin: "It ain't too often that I decide to sit down and talk like this, but I think that the situation calls for this kind of talk. Some folks call this a 'shoot' interview...I don't know nothin' 'bout that. I call this sitting on Steve Austin's back porch, drinking a beer, and tellin' things like they are. > >There's alot of people who wanna be wrestlers, and there's alot of people who wanna be champions. Before the FTR was ever even thought of, you could go ask any indy wrestler what he wanted to do, and he'd tell you that he'd wanna main event Wrestlemania. When you were in a Wrestlemania main event, that was when you had reached your peak. > >I ain't gonna lie to you. That's how I started out. I wanted to be the man. I wanted to be the best damned wrestler in the world. But I knew that I had a long way to go, so I put on my boots....I walked out to that ring, and I started my journey. > >There's a few people who like to appear to be smart, and throw up the name 'Stunning' Steve Austin at me, like it is supposed to send me for a loop. Well let me just remind you that 'Stunning' Steve was the WCW US Champion back when that belt meant something. 'Stunning' Steve and Brian Pillman were the best damned tag team in that little company, and 'Stunning' Steve wasn't a damned pushover. > >But still, you've got people who like to say that I wasn't a damned thing before I became Stone Cold, and that when I became Stone Cold I forgot where I came from. Well hell, I remember where I came from, and I ain't ashamed of it. I did what I had to do to get to where I got, and that's the bottom line. > >Anyway, I worked in WCW against guys that shoulda been in a retirement home, and then Eric Bischoff fired my ass and that was that. So what did I do? I went to the ECW, a damned bingo hall in Philadelphia, and I worked my ass off just to eat. It was like I had to start all over again....but I'll be damned....I did it. > >I got signed by Vince McMahon, and everybody knows that I came in as the Ringmaster, and that I was the Million Dollar Champion and that I was wrestling Savio Vega at In Your House.....that don't make a damned bit of difference to me. The fact is, it wasn't too long before Stone Cold Steve Austin was born..and it wasn't too long before my name was at the top of the industry. > >But you've got these guys in ECW that bitch, bitch, bitch about how politics kept them down..and how they are so great and how their shit doesn't stink. Well hell, if they were so damned great....they coulda overcome all of the bullshit that is in this business, just like I did. If Shane Douglas was as good as he says he is, he woulda been right up there with Steve Austin, headlining Wrestlemania. But what were you doing Shane? You were down in a bingo hall because that was the last place that would take ya. Let's be honest, you've burned more bridges than the damned Chicago fire. And now you're just bitter because I played things smart, and I came out on top. > >You talk about Shawn Michaels and his buddies keeping you down in the WWF, and not even letting you get started. Well when I went into the WWF, Shawn Michaels and his buddies were still there...and it didn't make a damned bit of difference to me. In fact, why don't you take a look at who I beat for my first WWF World Title. If I ain't mistakin', his name was Shawn Michaels. > >You're so full of shit, Shane. You've watched all of your buddies rise up to bigger and better things, and you bitch about how you're the one that deserves to rise, and how you're being held down..and by God, I get tired of hearing it. I whupped your ass in seven seconds here in the FTR, so what did you do? You went back and you found Raven...... > >Well Raven, you can join whatever kind of Army you wanna join..and you can give your soul to The Undertaker all you want..the bottom line is, your ass belongs to Stone Cold Steve Austin. I ain't gonna forget what happened at Genesis, and you can rest assured that you ain't heard the last of Stone Cold Steve Austin. > >And then we've got Lance Storm...Shane's little butt buddy. Lance, it wasn't too long ago that you were talking about how Bret Hart made my career. I ain't gonna lie to you, and I'll tell you like it is....Bret Hart is the best goddamned wrestler to ever put on a pair of wrestling boots. My matches with Bret Hart brought out the best in both of us, and you're right...without Bret, Stone Cold Steve Austin might not have been the man he is today. But when have I ever denied that, Lance? When have I ever said that I owed nothing to Bret Hart? > >The fact is, you ain't no Bret Hart. You mighta trained with his daddy, but alot of people trained with that boy's daddy, Lance. You might be from Canada...but there's a wrestler named Test who also happens to be from Canada. I don't quite understand why it is that just because a wrestler is Canadian, he is all of a sudden the best thing walkin' God's green earth. It's just another one of these stupid ass little misconceptions that the so-called smart marks come up with and type about on their computer screens. > >No matter what you people want to say about me....let me put it to you like this..... > >My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin. I am the man that took professional wrestling from the shithouse and put it in the penthouse. I went from the bottom of the barrel to the top, and I ain't ashamed to tell you about it....and if you've got a problem with it, I will whup your ass...and that's all there is to it. > >And all of that ass whupping is going to start at Rampage....cause Douglas...I'm calling you out. > >And that's the bottom line...............cause Stone Cold said so." > >Fade to black. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know if this e-mail is going to Stone Cold Steve Austin but if it is I am your #1 fan so please e-mail me back.
