On the most recent edition of the Steve Austin Show podcast, Austin discussed tag team wrestling in and revealed what tag team he loves at the moment, and also the scene at the moment. Check out the highlights below, transcribed courtesy of RAJAH.com.
“I love The Revival — [Scott] Dawson and Dash [Wilder]. But I also liked when they were having those matches with, back at the time when they were a team and when they weren’t feuding and they would go on to have lights out singles matches, [Johnny] Gargano and [Tommaso] Ciampa.”
The struggles of today’s tag team wrestling scene:“Man, and that’s the thing. The tag team scene just ain’t what it used to be and that’s not knocking any team that’s out there. I’m just saying there aren’t as many teams and they’re not together as long to build the history, the chemistry, and you just know what the other guy is going to do when you go out there. You have four different people out there and a referee. With all the minds and all the different tricks you can do, there’s so much to watch, so I love tag team wrestling. It’s just that it [has]kind of faded off a little bit and that’s with all respect to the tag teams still out there doing good work. It just has changed.”
“I can’t leave off Booker T and Stevie Ray. We tried to open the show with some Stevie Ray Vaughan and it didn’t work! When they showed up on the scene at WCW way back in the day, it was like two guys show up and they’re both big and jacked up, and they got some charisma about them, and they’ve got some edge about them. And it turns out they can work too. And yeah, one of them is really athletic, so Harlem Heat had a hell of a damn run!”
