Thanks to Joseph Daoud and PWInsider.com for the following recap of Steve Austin's interview on The Hour with George Stropolopolis on CBC:
They started with a 90 second clip of his career and a clip from the movie The Condemned.
-He said that wrestling was his life long dream and his role model was Dusty Rhodes.
-Acting was opened to him during the peek of the Austin Era but he wanted to stay with the WWF.
-He said that most of his money came from merchandise sales.
-Wanted to prove WCW wrong when they said that he isn't marketable.
-Did 13 Episodes of Nash Bridges and they wanted to do a spin off of the character.
-Said that his stepfather made him a better person
-Hates that some people let the fame go to their heads. He says he stays humble.
-After the break he said that he watched the SummerSlam 1997 incident 30 to 40 times a day but now he watches it every now and then to get a reality check.
-Said that he was buddies with Owen and what happened at Over the Edge was a "bad deal"
-Said he was in the ring wrestling The Undertaker when he got the news of Owen's death.
-He said he could work as a top star for 2 years at WWE's schedule but says he isn't and will never be at the 120% he was before and he is only now 99%.
-Says he is looking 15 years down the line.
-Told the director to "take care of him".
- Took 2 years for the movie to complete.
-Says he would love to do action movies if he is still having fun and his fan base enjoys it
-When asked if he would do "Brokeback Mountain" roles, he laughed and said he would pass.
Interview ended there.
