The following program is a podcast.1.com production.

From Hollywood, California, by way of the Broken Skull Ranch, this is the Steve Austin show.

Give me a hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

Now, here's Steve Austin.

All right, everybody, look at Steve Austin show.

I'm sitting here in Atlanta, Georgia, the AT&L.

I was the one of the greatest of all time, Jake and Snake Roberts.

And I'm in the confines or the compound in DDP Yoga. Man, I drove up this damn thing and I was like, holy smokes. I was looking for just a little building, Jake, and I drove by this saying, and said, it's a monstrosity. I pulled in, here we sit. I haven't seen you in a long time. And I've never got a chance to thank you in public or in person about what you did for me way back in the day. And that was when I created

Austin 316. Do it on a match that I had with you. Vader roughed you up pretty good. Worked

over your ribs. Mark Merrill had kicked me in the mouth. I went to the hospital.

He did a good job, too.

He did a good job.

I like that phony blood capsule you used.

Yeah, oh yeah.

That was the phony blood, blood, everybody talks about. Yeah, chicken blood. So I go to the hospital and get stitched up. As soon as I get out of ambulance, I got my stuff on because you and me are going to go.

And Michael PSA comes up to me, goes, hey, Steve, before you go to the ring,

I just want you to know before you to do the King of Ring acceptance speech, Jake, cut a

religious-based promo on you.

And that's when I came up with the Austin 316 thing.

And I always think, Jake, in my career, nothing would have happened, it would have

no reason to happen.
