I love how Stern and crew ask questions and don't let anyone answer, while asking tons of other questions that also don't get answered.
To each their own, I personally don't care for it....
@@falconater68 I see you pick up on sarcasm well.
@@mattroberts3204 some people are just bricks 🧱
Some guests are caught of guard with it but Austin handled it well.
rzn "you're really burying me, dog
I’m surprised Robin wasn’t on the wrong end of a stone cold stunner the way she was going at him….
and knowing the way Steve would "go after" his own wife...
Foreal though lol
Agreed
Lmao
@@KeizerHedorah she was asking for it
Vince has said it multiple times over the years. Stone Cold is the biggest, most important, highest grossing wrestler in history. There isn’t a close second.
And that's why he's still in every wrestling videogame nearly every year since 98
I thought it was The Undertaker. He has sold out entire arenas for Wrestlemania.
I thought it was hogan
@@alafiathebrand it is Hogan. Without Hogan there wouldn't be a Stone Cold Steve Austin or a billionaire Vince McMahon
When did he said it?
Jim Ross is legit one of the most genuine human beings I’ve seen, bless him
STOP THE DAYUM MATCH
may god rest his soul...
@@gregkuhn7123 huh
@@gregkuhn7123 Jim Ross isn’t dead 🤣
Not according to Buff Bagwell & few others
My favorite wrestler ever. The attitude Era was the best.
The 80's and 90's were pretty darn good to trust me. Andre vs Hogan and so forth.
Yep 80s, 90s, early 2000s
What?
Him and Shawn Michaels were my favorite.
Late 80s- 2003 best times. Even WCW
Robbin was really pushing it in that interview.
Because that's her job. Howard Stern and Robin Quivers are professional radio hosts.
She saw thru Steve
She helped me understand Austin at a deeper level from her directness w him 💯
@@SomethinDifferentEnt no she was annoyin 😂
Robin is a natural heel
He walked to his own beat, said fuc the boss on the show and in real life, and stood on what he said and believed in. Not only was he the embodiment, HE WAS THE ATTITUDE ERA
And beat up his wife.
@@theomen7665no proof
ne he was not, stone cold was a product of attitude era.
This is the greatest wrestling star ever. Nobody can match his status
You must not been alive in the 80's when Hogan ruled the WWF.
Stone cold though was a way better wrestler and character than hogan
@@jlobiafra Hogan had his time but I won't ever watch Hogan era matches outside maybe one or two matches. I can watch Steve Austin's run anytime
@@Coldstone47034 Hogan’s time was about 4 times as long as Austin’s, so yea he had his time
& That's The Bottom Line Son!
@vik I Liked BOTH
I think Austin felt betrayed when they asked him to job to Brock on Raw as if that’s all he was good for. Austin is the star that shifted the tide of the Monday night wars. If he hadn’t caught on when he did the McMahons would’ve been working for Ted Turner
It was a culmination of things but this is the exact straw that “broke the camel’s back” so to speak.
I forgot how fine robin used to be
@@Geese88 her boyfriends cant put up with all her colonics
This my friend is exactly 100% the truth
What people forget is that Vince was punishing Austin for trashing creative on "Byte This". That's why they had him wrestling Lesnar in that match he was to lose. Austin has other plans as we clearly saw...😅😅😅
Stone cold was the coolest person on the planet when I was a kid. Super hero level.
Stone Cold was always my fav. wrestler! He was the heart n soul of pro wrestling.
austin hasn't changed one bit. the goat 🐐
This was recorded in 2003 fam
@@Da_Homie_Chuy I know. I'm saying he's still the same as he is in this clip
I love that Steve Austin acknowledges that Vince is tough. Actual respect there
Vince is also quite messy if you know what I mean 😂
@@Chips3TimesFried LOL
This my favorite entertainer ever! When that glass break I still get goose bumps
The neck injuries caused him to feel true helplessness. And he must've realized he needed to be more critical in his match ups. That turned into living his life to his own beat
This girl tripping she deserves a stunner
Stone Cold Steve Austin. On the Howard Stern show. That was 20 years ago. WoW how time goes by.
After this podcast Steve offered beer to that respectful woman .she drank and then boom steve hit her with stone cold stunner and commentator yelling in disbelief with steve austin theme music playing
It's true, I was there
he gave a stone cold stunner to ur blue hindu god
For those that don't know, the "young kid" and "chump" they're referring to Steve losing to was Brock Lesnar.
Steve wasn’t wrong though. Your top star doesn’t lose a match with 0 build up on a random raw
Oh thought the legend killer... thanks cap😅
Yh. They were going for the Goldberg type thing… feed ur new monster stars as if they’re jobbers. They should have known not to go to Steve for it though… they knew how long he fought for his run.. the bulls*%t he went through at wcw and ecw … hell that’s how “stone cold” was born! On a n ecw improvised interview / vignette just saying the truth about dusty/hogan/bischoff whilst in character
@@snc237Hogan also lost to lesnar on a regular smackdown episode
Oh ok
Only reason I even watched WWF in the 90s Stone Cold 🙌
I wish I can meet him in person. Loved every entrance in the ring!
He was serious, telling his story, you could feel the hurt and they were just making light of it. Not cool.
That is so sad
Howard Stern would do this too all his guest it's weird n sad and childish
Fun fact
Vince punished Austin for walking out when he agreed to come back and Austin was fined for it by Vince! It was a massive $$$ fine that Steve acceptable but talked Vince into getting it lower then he wanted
600 some thousand vince wanted. And Steve countered with 200 some thousand and they agreed. But Jim Ross said Steve didn't just write a check. It came out of merchandise and royalties I think
When Austin trashed creative, that's why he was to wrestle Lesnar with no build up and was going to lose. Vince is a petty SOB...
@@jamesgibson3716 I don't think he's that attractive....
@@MrBrock314 typo....I meant petty.. LoL
@@jamesgibson3716 freudian slip lmao
Surprised how people tolerated Robin for so many years and she still had the job
Nobody would wanna remember her after she is deceased
Unfortunately she's still alive..sadly
Can’t believe Austin didn’t stun Robin
😅 She was too excited!
Is Robin... uhhhh... trying to pick a fight with Stone Cold?
She did this to The Rock as well in one of his interviews.
@@miloandot She Does This Type of Stuff Whenever They Interview a Pro Wrestler
He shoulda stunned her! 😂
Hole
She was a big wrestling fan surprisingly.
When I was watching wrestling there was a great roster during the attitude days. However by far the most electrifying wrestler was stone cold. He was miles ahead of the rock, triple h, undertaker and Kane. People say the rock was bigger I don’t even think he came close.
Rock came close and made the perfect rival for Stone Cold at the time
Mick Foley.
“We’re gonna bring Stone Cold in and only let him answer 50% of the questions he’s asked.”
-Comrade Stern
Well we will try not to let him answer any but he managed to answer 50%
walking away was the best thing he ever did
That sentence “the rock is a friend of mine in a business where you don’t have many friends” that is pretty cool
That was such a low blow @1:07 when she said "Well besides The Rock" she really didn't have to say that!😳
Steve Austin did more for Vincent mcmann than Vince mcmann did for Steve Austin. Austin had so many rivalries with the rock and many other wrestlers. Stone cold was the loud mouth in the WWF the attitude era. The show was better with all those feuds Austin had back in the nineties.
His feuds with Angle and Booker lmfao back then.
Amen ❤ I want to give Steve a hug, he’s a legend
@@TJGAMINGSCOTLAND yes
Steve is an absolute living legend ☠️🍻
Beside the Rowdy Roddy Piper era Austin 3:16 and the Rock was the peak of WWE.
80's and 90's were the best
Facts but Triple H was in between a lil bit
Hogan made WWE / WWF mainstream. He was definitely the blueprint
And Taker was top of the pyramid across all eras...
Props to Steve for remaining so calm under that chatty b
Imagine calling Brock Lesnar "some chump."
Imagine calling Brock Lesnar "some chump" today.
Well he was professionally back then because he hadn't paid any dues
@@rockstardeleon don’t make him a chump ..just green to the business and even then Brock was a state champion prior .. nothing chumpish about dat
He wasn’t a chump back then either. But he was on the come up, and Austin had a point about being the last, rather than the first, but mentally he probably wasn’t in the place to talk it through with them. He had nothing in the tank.
Brock was a chump in comparison to Austin in wwf/wwe, then, and even today. That's not to say Brock isn't great. He's just not on Austin's level.
Used to be Vince’s neighbor. Stone Cold would be at the house all time. The security of our private community would always tell me he hated being there. I was kid what did I know.
the security guard hated being there? or steve austin?
I really wish they could have interrupted him more. That would have been super.
Stone Cold and Taker carried that company
Undertaker is the Harold Baines of the WWE
Hulk carry the wwf since 1977to 1992...that's most of any could
Mick Foley carried them.
Steve Austin is the GOAT 🐐
She shouldn’t be so speaking about Stone Cold in that manner. You try going through that level of injury, putting your body in the line for as long as he had plus deal with the likes of a Vince. People need to know their roles sometimes… this is a wrestling legend
“Did you start crying?” Is wild. 😂😂😂
He probably did lol
You let it all out did you start crying? Lol that part was hilarious
My favorite wrestler ever
SCSA was such a fun guest in this "HSS" era
The greatest superstar in the history of wrestling
Stop! Just stop, none is bigger than Hogan.
@@chinwenerondu8192 that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to your opinion, no denying Hulk is one of the biggest names in the business, but Stone and The Rock surpassed him.
@@iamdevilboy5976Your opinion as well
@@iamdevilboy5976 I agree on that one 👍🏽
@@chinwenerondu8192 I couldn't agree more. Hogan put wrestling on the map!
Fun fact: The 'chump' they wanted him to lose to was Brock Lesnar.
The 🐐 of televised Wrestling
Crazy his last match was in my home town Seattle dang I wish I would’ve went to that.
Robin was trying hard to get a rise out of stone cold
He was getting tired and His knees were blown out 😢
Robin looks great in 2003.
She does!!
true but still with the mouth...
She was so fine when they did the E! Show (1992-2005)
Robin, chill out, damn! She might need a timeout.
Let him Finish the answers...Dang!
Why was she so biased against Steve? You supposed to try to get both sides of the story before you make a decision on who's wrong.
It’s cause he’s white probably
She wasn’t giving him much of a chance
Howard Stern and his crew was so ahead of they time
They time
Was
Were* & Their*
Stop butchering the English language
It would of been nice to let him answer a question without all the interruptions
Austin refused to job to Lesnar
Yep.
Totally justified
Austin has a class to him that says you have to respect him, because Stone Cold Said So!
Is it just me or they're not letting him finish ..?
It’s you.
It's them
I always thought what if Stone Cold had stayed on imagine the storylines we would have gotten 😢😢😢.
Robin was searching for that smoke 😂
Robin is proving in this interview why some conversations women shouldn't talk.
I have zero clue why this woman is on the show.
You are proving why you shouldn't talk.
Howard really thinks Stone cold is a crier? Nah he needs a stunner lol
a conversation without commas, pauses and full stops.
Uploaded on 3/16 (3:16)...very funny 😆
4:43 "did you start crying" hahaha thats the classic stern i miss
😂😂😂 classic stern.
I was soo excited back then to watch episode of Monday night Raw on television. This was specially for stone cold and JR commentary .stone cold is an exciting package.
Robin running her mouth and obviously doesn't know what she's talking about but has her own feelings about it.
well, she did watch wrestling occasionally unlike Howard.
Robin was actually a legit WWE fan back then, early - mid/late 90’s a few of em (Robin, Ronnie and his crew - Neil Drake, Wayne Seagel maybe Dominic Barbera but dunno) would get together for the PPVs, that’s why she would be in heaven when most of the wrestlers came in
Anyone have the full 2003 interview?
Great throwbacks. Steve Austin is a good story teller. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 16th January 2024.
That kid was Lesnar 😂😂
Interview would have been so much better if Austin wasn’t interrupted every couple minutes
You can tell austin kept getting pissed at robin
So pretty much confirms that telling him to job for Lesnar was the last straw.
0:30 I was genuinely scared for her
It wasn't "some chump," it was Brock Lesnar in the King of the Ring tournament lol. But I do agree with Austin not wanting to have that match on TV. He said he'd do it on PPV if they built it up.
I love that on ironically, he has managed to sneak “bottom line” into his daily speak
Great interview
Hey Robin, you wanna have a beer with stone cold? No….WHAT….STUNNER🤣
imagine this interview with hulk hogan lol -
Wow she is very honest.
I swear I just read the title as "Why Stone Cold Steve Austin walked away from Wine"
Austin is The King! The GOAT!
2:01 did he just call Ric Flair "some chump"? lol
It was actually Brock Lesnar 😂
“You start crying?” .. 😂😂😂
Austin was too proud to admit that his career was at an end….he refused to job to Brock in 2002 and less than a year later, he had his “final” match against Rock at Wrestlemania
In a few years, he became a multiple times Royal Rumble winner and WWE Champion. In such a short time, he accomplished what others couldn't in their entire careers. Eventually, there was very little the creative could do with him and new talents such as Brock Lesnar needed to be pushed in order to lead the company to the Ruthless Aggression Era.
@bonechip879 what exactly don’t you understand?
It's Steve Austin though, why should he job to some newcomer at the time on a random episode of Raw? It wasn't even that Steve didn't want to put Brock over, he wanted it done on a PPV with a storyline
It's not that he didn't want to do the job. He didn't want to do it without having a run with Brock.
He refused to lose the match on raw . He wanted it to be on ppv .
Stone cold was the most influential wrestler of all time. The rock 2nd, being more influential as an actor, yes, but not as a wrestler.
The most influential figure in WWE
God bless Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone cold became the goat in couple years that saying something wwf,wwe was about go out of business and stone cold saved wwe that's just one thing he did he broke all the records of sales and did this without Internet that's saying something stone cold is the greatest of all time he is the wrestling goat
Robin is and or was beautiful. She had the perfect voice to juxtapose Stern. This was a great interview but from the start. Robin was on it. 👍
I thought she was pretty disrespectful here. Maybe that's just part of her schtick, but still
The king of the attitude area
2003 was the last of the attitude era
This is exactly what Jake the Snake Roberts was saying in the Vladtv Interview
Howard stern doesn’t get credit for being such a great interviewer.
I just realized today how Beautiful Robin was
Let him talk.
Austin was the biggest and still is the biggest star in wrestling history after Hulk Hogan sure The Rock went on to do movies but those two made wrestling what it is in the modern eras.
eh rock was WAAAAY more over haha
@@fpvDREyeah nowadays I would say it's hogan,rock & austin.
