In this episode of DJD Classics, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with the one and only Stone Cold Steve Austin for a no-holds-barred look at wrestling history. From developing the Stone Cold name to his early days as the Ringmaster, Steve dives into the heel life, trash-talking, and the creative freedom that comes with being the bad guy. Hear all about the blood-soaked matches, the legendary WrestleMania 13 double turn, working with icons like Bret Hart and The Rock, and the brutal realities of life in the ring. From beer bashing to making yourself bleed, Austin shares the stories, struggles, and moments that defined him as a superstar — and why fans couldn’t help but love him even when he was the heel. Steve also opens up about the physical and mental toll of wrestling, his major injuries, and the challenges of walking away from the life he loved.
