Booker T recently spoke on his Hall of Fame podcast about his belief that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin could have a role in WWE after his showing at WrestleMania 38.
āI wouldnāt say just a WrestleMania guy or anything like that. Star power is everything. Saudi Arabia, to have āStone Coldā on that card right there? Boom, Iām sure the people over there would love it, man. To see Austin in Cardiff, Wales? Man, that would be awesome because Iām sure the guys over there havenāt seen him in such a long time. To see āStone Coldā Steve Austin live, up close, in person ā that would just be a moment for those guys just to see Steve Austin. Forget about him in the ring. To see him, take a photo with him, shake a hand, tell a story, whatever it may be, that crowd would get its moneyās worth if Steve was a part of it. Steve may be the new Undertaker ā the guy that [shows] up to pop the crowd, give the crowd that moment that theyāre gonna remember for the rest of their lives, and me personally, I think thatās a damn good position to be in.ā
Booker says Austin's one of the last special attractions left in wrestling.
āHeās the last one left, man. I mean, I donāt think Shawn Michaels is gonna be the guy to fill that role or anything like that. I canāt think of any other names besides myself and thatās just not something that I really want to do at all. Bring me a match and a check and Iām all down for that, but as far as being that guy, I canāt think of too many people outside āStone Coldā Steve Austin who could take it and make it something totally special when you see it on the marquee that fans go, āThat right there. I gotta see it,ā just because. No other reason, I just gotta see it. So definitely, he could be that guy who slips into the āUndertaker roleā and be that three-time-a-year guy to come out and just do something.ā
On who he'd like to see Austin face:
āSami Zayn would definitely be a guy that, if I had to pick, Sami Zayn would be a guy that I know I can put in that position and get exactly what I need out of him.ā
