Steve Austin is considered by many to be one of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling, and fans still talk about some of his biggest moments to this very day.
Austin’s infamous fight with Booker T in a grocery store is something that still gets brought up a lot among wrestling fans, and most people seem to have fond memories of the segment.
However, during an episode of That 90s Wrestling Podcast WWE Hall of Famer Stevie Ray discussed Steve Austin’s feud with Booker T, and he made it clear that he’s not nearly as fond of the grocery store fight.
“Let’s go back to my brother, you come in, Stone Cold Steve Austin jumps on him and drop him with the belt, the WCW belt, and everyone thought, ‘this is great, this is how it’s going to be.’ Nah, brother, they’re setting you up, it is what it is, they’re getting him ready for the Thanksgiving dinner,” Stevie said. “He doesn’t know, but you’re the one that going to get cooked.
“You come in as the champion, big bad Booker T, his whole career he’s been a big bad guy. Now, all of a sudden you’re in a grocery store, running from Steve Austin. Ain’t nobody in my family ever ran from a man in his life. Ain’t no punk in me, ain’t no b*tch in me. There ain’t no b—h in none of my brothers or my uncles or nobody. I ain’t never ran from one man in my life and never will. Especially some dazy duke, bald-headed, bad knee, guy that beats up women. You kidding me? You kidding me? I’d slap Steve Austin’s teeth out of his mouth, ain’t no punk like that don’t ever fight a man. Now on TV, I got to run from him, I’m scared of him. Nah, miss me with that. But that’s the way they work, and this is what I told everybody was going to happen.”
