"I think if I'd never had found pro wrestling, I'd be a blue collar guy, working a 9-to-5 job." — Stone Cold Steve Austin

I didn't do choreographed fighting for a living. I was a professional wrestler for 15 years; there's a big difference.

I've got a chance to host a show called 'Redneck Island' on CMT. I love doing that show.

Say the average arena is 20,000 people. You're in the very center of that arena, and you're playing to the worst seat in the house up there. So everything is very big, very large. It's like a very violent form of Broadway in a 20x20 ring.

I made a good living being a tough guy on TV, but I'd rather laugh and joke all day long than try to be a tough guy.
