Steve: If anybody's mad about me being late, they can kiss my ass.
Question: Steve: at the Royal Rumble you cheated..How do you answer to
that?
Steve: Damn right...a win is a win!, I am proud of that accomplishment!
Question: Stone Cold, yeah but you had a scared look on your face when
Bret was introduced...You dont seem that
tough?
Steve: The scared look was just an act of fear. He's the dumbest person I
know he thought I was scared, the whole world
thought I was scared but in the end, it was his ass flying over the top
rope, not mine. I ain't scared of nobody.
Question: Steve, Bret called you a Wild Hyena last week on AOL..Would you
agree with him? And what would call him?
Steve: I'd call him a Jackass. I'm not sure of bret's knowledge of animals
but if anything, a great white shark. And if he was
floating around in the water, I'd knock him off his little innertube and
that's the last you'd hear of Bret Hart.
Question: Sone Cold, Do you regret threatening Gorilla Monsoon on Raw a
few weeks ago..And what do you think of this
Final Four Match?
Steve: I don't have any regrets. Gorilla Monsoon ruined my chances of
going to WrestleMania, but I don't regret
threatening him. Physically, mentally or financially there is nothing he
can do to scare me. I think the Final Four will be a hell
of a match. But since we don't have the instant replay rule, I should be
going to WM as it is. I'll do whatever it takes to win
the Final Four.
Question: Steve, it seems you do not like Vince McMahon? What are your
thoughts on him?
Steve: Well basically I think he's a genius. He took the biggest superstar
in the world of prof. wrestling and hired him.
WCW dropped the ball and he picked it up. That's about it.
Question: Steve, It seems the wrestlers attitudes are changing...and the
WWF style of wrestling has changed. Are you
responsible?
Steve: Hell yes! You can sit there on the back burner and watch everything
go by or you can kick it into gear and follow
the example that Stone Cold has set. I am responsible for the positive
things going on right now.I set the standard and no
one can tell me any different.
Question: Last night you battled Vader...However, you lost when you gave
the ref. the Stone Cold Stunner. Bottom
line..Does Austin care about a title or just hurting people?
Steve: I'll get the titles but right now I feel I am making a name and
setting a standard...when I decide it's time to get a title, I
will have it.
Question: Steve..If Raw goes 2 hours Live each week...Does the WWF have
enough talent and will it increase its ratings?
Steve: It doesnt matter if they have enough talent or not. Steve Austin is
there...I can either run my mouth or whip
everybody's ass every week.
Question: Steve..what are your thoughts on the Shotgun Saturday Night
show?
Steve: With a few modifications, it should be very successful. I won't
give any comments what I think about the show until
they get the basic format accomplished.
Question: Steve...The Skull on the back of your vest..What does it mean?
Steve: What does it matter? What was I supposed to put on there? A couple
of flowers?? Only a jackass would ask a
question like that.
Question: Steve..if you dont win the Final Four..what will you do next?
Steve: Go back to the drawing board. I've only been in the WWF for one
year. As I have stated before, getting my name
and face recognized are more important than titles right now to me.
Question: Steve..the fans are starting to boo Shawn Michaels and cheer
you? Is that important to you?
Steve: People are going to do what they want to do. 99% of the time I hear
people cheer for Shawn Michaels. As far as
people cheering for me, I guess there are sick people everywhere.
Question: Stone Cold, what about Sycho Sid? It seems like you stay away
from him. Comments?
Steve: He was the one that no-showed on MNR couple a weeks ago. He's got a
yellow streak down his back a mile long
and as a side note, I would like to tell everybody that I invited Sid over
to my house tonight just so I could punch him in his
mouth. Even though I sent him a first class ticket, he never showed up.
Now you tell me who's afraid.
Question: Stone Cold....Do you feel you will ever get the respect you
deserve?
Steve: What does respect really mean? Respect doesn't pay any of my bills.
The bottom line is if you can't recognize my
talent, you are indeed a complete jackass.
Question: Steve..at the Final Four at this months February's In Your House
what will be your strategy?
Steve: I don't know I've never been in one. All I want to do is win. Since
it's no disqualification I'd say it's wide open for
everybody. But we'll have to see what happens. If I don't face Shawn at
WM, I will face him someday. That could be the
biggest night.
