‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin spent years establishing himself in the world of professional wrestling, but now the Rattlesnake is making a name as a racer.
In recent years, the WWE Hall of Famer has competed in off-road racing and has already won championships for his efforts behind the wheel.
On a recent edition of “Too Much Access,” Austin spoke about his love for racing and how it’s changed his day-to-day life. He said,
“It’s just so different from anything I’ve ever done because I’ve been driving recreationally, but when you start racing and pushing the machine to its limits and pushing yourself to your limits, which you don’t know that you have yet because you’ve never driven at 100%, it takes a while to learn how to do that.”
The Rattlesnake also compared his time as a racer to learning to wrestle. He said,
“I equate it with when I first started wrestling, I sucked, and when I first started driving these things, I won’t say I sucked, but I had a lot to learn, and the biggest mistake you make in pro wrestling is trying to do everything too fast. In racing, they’ll tell you, and it didn’t make sense to me until I ran a few races, in order to drive fast, you must first learn to drive slow, and I couldn’t believe it took me this long to find the sport that I found.”
Austin returned to the ring at WrestleMania 38 in 2022 and has teased involvement with WrestleMania 41 which will take place in April 2025.
