Stone Cold Steve Austin recently appeared on Sirius XM’s Busted Open<\/em>, where he talked about a variety of pro wrestling topics. One of those topics was Becky Lynch.<\/p>\n

The current Raw<\/em> Women’s champion has drawn strong comparisons to The Texas Rattlesnake over the last year, thanks to her anti-authority gimmick and rebellious attitude. “The Man” has become a top star in WWE and she indeed owes much of her success to her Stone Cold personality.<\/p>\n

But Austin doesn’t see it quite the way that many fans do.<\/p>\n

“That gimmick, The Man–and a lot of people, they’d draw\u00a0comparisons to Stone Cold or Conor McGregor, or whatever–hey man, that’s a\u00a0whole different thing and she’s\u00a0pulling it off flawlessly.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n[lawrence-related id=927394]\n

Austin went on to say that he felt Lynch had the most premiere run in the history of wrestling, not only for a woman, but for a man as well. But then Stone Cold was asked about July 22’s Raw Reunion,<\/em>\u00a0which saw him close the show with his signature beer bash in the middle of the ring.<\/p>\n
