The Steve Austin Show

AJ Styles is killing it at WWE, and talking about what it took to get to this point in his career. He's recounting the journey he made from WCW to TNA to the Bullet Club at New Japan Pro Wrestling, and how that eventually led him to WWE. He's telling stories about the Styles Clash, "The Phenomenal One," and his first-ever Wrestlemania experience earlier this year in Dallas.

Swig of beer for Bill Goldberg's first appearance on the Steve Austin Show! Bill talks about trading his childhood NFL dream for a career in pro-wrestling; his first big WCW contract; his controversial match with Steve Regal; the time he knocked himself out in the ring against Diamond Dallas Page; and why he calls himself an "intelligent meathead."

Vince Russo returns to talk about the squared-circle business with Steve - from the Attitude Era to the new Reality Era (and what that really means). Vince is also talking about current WWE creative, his own philosophy when it comes to story lines and angles, and how the business has changed since his days writing RAW with just himself and Ed Ferrara. And they both offer up some good advice for aspiring pro-wrestlers out there.

Retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink was commander of SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser during the Battle Of Ramadi, and received the Silver Star and Bronze Star for his actions in the Iraq War. He chronicled some of those experiences, and the leadership principles he learned in the SEALS in his book, "Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALs Lead & Win." And today, he's talking to Steve about BUDs training, Hell Week, discipline, the brotherhood, how he survived deployment away from his family, and he shares a few leadership principles you can apply to your own life and career.

Vince Russo and Steve Austin are talking about the Attitude Era, and give a great in-depth look at the Stone Cold vs The Undertaker match at 1998 Summerslam. Hear how it happened, what inspired that finish and who knew about it, and what Steve thinks about it all these years later. Plus, Vince Russo weighs in on 3-hour RAW, Richochet vs Will Ospreay, and his personal favorite era of wrestling (and his answer might surprise you).

Robbie Knievel followed in the footsteps of his legendary father, Evel Knievel, who was also one of Steve Austin's childhood heroes! And Robbie's giving a behind-the-scenes look at some of his father's most famous jumps - from Snake River Canyon to Ceasar's Palace to 14 busses. Robbie's also talking about what life was like for the family after his dad's overnight success, his relationship with his father, his father's bikes, ramps, and safety decks, and what it was like dealing with his dad's womanizing on the road. Robbie's speaking candidly about his own career, and the injuries and demons that went with it, and why he's so determined to continue jumping today.

The Cowboy Johnny Mantell returns to talk about the business of pro-wrestling! He and Steve break down the recent New Japan Pro Wrestling match between Will Ospreay and Ricochet. They also talk about the most valuable lessons they each learned in their early days, the meaning of "intensity," Dory Funk, the art of a good tag match, the importance of tag team chemistry, why the "little things" in the squared circle mean so much... and they pay tribute to the late, great Muhammad Ali.

You asked what Steve Austin thinks about the New Japan Pro Wrestling Match between Ricochet (aka Prince Puma) and Will Ospreay...and he's answering! Ted Fowler also joins from Rockport, TX to discuss the benefits of the hide-a-key, the "do's & don't's of burn pits," and "Bloodline." And then Steve's illustrious wife, Kristin, has plenty to say about Duck Daycare and a recent (and very expensive) parking ticket!

Cowboy Johnny Mantell is the one who told Steve Austin he was being inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Wichita Falls, Texas as part of the class of 2016! And while Steve was unable to attend the ceremony, he was able to get Cowboy Johnny Mantell on the line to talk about Cowboy's days in the business - working the Dallas territory for the Von Erichs, starting in Louisiana with Bill Watts, and learning from the great Bruiser Brody, and Stan Hansen! Cowboy also talks about his childhood days on the amateur wrestling scene, what he learned working under a mask in California, and the best advice he got from both Roddy Piper and Dory Funk.
