Stone Cold Steve Austin; Beer drinker, boss batterer, podcaster, working class hero and shit talker extraordinaire. There's no bigger hero than the Bionic Redneck since, well, ever. And now the Texas Rattlesnake has shared the secret behind what he was ranting about on his way to the ring before he pasted some poor sod across an arena for 20 minutes.
Whenever the glass shattered during a WWE show between 1996 and 2003, you knew a few seconds later all hell was about to break loose as the artist formerly known as Stunning Steve Austin marched down to the ring, leather waistcoat and massive knee braces and all, hollering inaudbiles as tens of thousands of fans lost their fucking minds.
But what exactly was Austin saying as he walked that aisle (Copyright Ric Flair)?

The former WWE champion has now revealed all during a recent episode of his Steve Austin podcast.
"It was never gibberish. Man, I was talking shit the whole way down. 'Yeah, that's right motherfucker!' It was just a constant stream of F-bombs. 'Yeah, that's right motherfucker. I'm about to tear this motherfucker's ass!' It was just that.

"It was sentences. And like I said earlier in the podcast how Ric Flair just believed and was living that character, hey man when I was in that world, and I was in and the zone, that wasn't no psych job. I wasn't trying to psych myself up. That was 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin walked to that ring with that bad motherfucker walk, because he was sending a message to the other guy in that ring. 'I'm fixing to whip your fuckin ass!'"
Basically, loads of really angry Texan swearing. Brilliant. We'd expect nothing less from the bloke who made a living twatting his boss every Monday night.
