Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show, WWE
Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin said he was
embarrassed by what happened at WrestleMania when he crashed
the ATV in the LED barricade.
Asked to explain what happened, Austin, who said he’s
“pretty damn handy” when it comes to four-wheelers, pinned
it down to a different throttle set up than what he’s
normally used to.
Pressed if there was any fallout from the incident, the
former champion added, “You know, I was embarrassed about it
and I think everybody’s OK but I mean, you know, you go out
there on the biggest night in wrestling and you you end up
like that… it’s not the greatest day in the office.”
Austin said as a performer you always want to give people
the best show and when you fall short of that, it’s not
great.
The Rattlesnake took his time to come down the ramp because
originally when he came out, he missed the large ramp and
got stuck underneath the stage when he reversed his ATV.
Once he eventually made it to ringside, Austin crashed the
ATV on the second spin around the ring, hitting the LED
barricade and knocking off a fan.
