Steve Austin Comments On WWE Ring Return Speculation, Talks WWE 2K16 & More

– Steve Austin spoke with MTV News about being on the cover of the upcoming WWE 2K16 video game. During the interview, Austin was also asked about rumors and speculation on returning back to the ring. The Hall of famer responded with the following:

“I remember I was talking to Bryce (Yang, Director of Brand Marketing – WWE at 2K) about being on the cover of the game and how big of an honour it is. I said: ‘You know, its been a while since I’ve been around so this may spark some rumours or speculation.’ And he goes: ‘You know, Steve, its no different to when we put Michael Jordan on the cover of the NBA 2K game a few years ago.’

“I would put myself on the same level for the wrestling/sports entertainment industry as Jordan – but his appearance didn’t mean he was going to put the uniform on again.

“So I would go on record: don’t look forward to me putting on the trunks and knee braces to get back in the ring and stomp a mudhole in somebody and walking it dry. How’s that work for you?”
