“Stone Cold” Steve Austin is one of the most well known wrestlers of all time and throughout the course of his career he feuded with some of the biggest names in the business.
At one point it seemed that there were plans in place for Steve Austin to work with Marc Mero, but Mero confirmed during an interview with Ten Count that the plans were dropped after Austin saw him get bodyslammed by Sable.
“I was made to really get Sable over, which was what we wanted to do, you know. But in essence it also hurt me because when like, for example, when she bodyslammed me, I was gonna go into a program with Steve Austin and when Steve saw that he was like, ‘if this girl could beat up Wildman Marc Mero, what am I getting in the ring with him for?'”
Mero went on to say that at the time he felt like he was doing what was best for his family when he added, “At that time, they’re backing up the Brinks truck to our house, you know what I mean, we’re a married couple so whether she’s getting over, I’m getting over, I’m getting paid the same no matter what. But now when her merchandise and all that kicks in, it really made a huge difference and so on so. At that time, you just go, ‘I just want to do what’s right for the family.’ And like I said, I look back with no regrets. And unfortunately, I didn’t get to have my run with Steve like I though would’ve been pretty cool but I totally understand.”
