During the latest episode of Grilling Jr. AEW announcer Jim Ross responded to a question as to why he thinks Steve Austin’s movie career wasn’t as big as The Rock’s and John Cena’s: 

“That was Steve’s choice. He didn’t like doing them. He’s a reality show guy. He’s a guy that likes to get the production done in a few weeks as opposed to a few months. So the structure on a movie set, the hurry up and wait, we’re not shooting today, we’re going to change this, we’re going to do that, was not his cup of tea. 

He didn’t have a lot of motivation for it.  He tried it.  He had some good opportunities.  He had some good shots.  He just didn’t enjoy it.”
