Since we are starting to talk about the Super Bowl in the Football world, maybe it is time to present some news about the Wrestling World as well. In order to do that effectively, I guess we need to know what “WWE” and “WrestleMania are all about, so here is the best that I can do to explain that:
WrestleMania is a professional wrestling event produced annually by the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). It is widely considered to be the most successful and longest-running professional wrestling event in the world. It features some of the most popular and well-known professional wrestlers from around the world. WrestleMania has been described as the Super Bowl of wrestling and has been broadcast live on pay-per-view television in over 150 countries.
So right now, let us concern ourselves with the following little tidbit coming out of WrestleMania … because this is something that is lighting up the Internet right now and it seems to be really important to a whole lot of sports-minded folks:
QUOTE: —- “Earlier this year it was reported that WWE had offered Steve Austin the chance to compete at WrestleMania 39 against either Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar, but the “Texas Rattlesnake” turned those overtures down…”END QUOTE.
Now, in order to comply with the request from the originators of this information, I will tell you where the information came from …
If you use any quotes from this article, please credit “Grilling JR” with a H/T to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription. (I already did this in the link I left above.)
It is important at this point to explain who Steve Austin is for those not familiar with the sport of Wrestling:
Steve Austin, otherwise known as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, is one of the biggest names in professional wrestling. He is a six-time WWF/WWE world champion, three-time Royal Rumble winner, and the most successful wrestler in the history of the company.
Austin began his career in the late 1980s, working in small independent promotions and eventually signing with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). During his time in WCW, Austin won several titles and rose to become one of the top stars of the company.
In 1995, Austin left WCW and signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which would later become the WWE. It was in the WWF that Austin truly achieved stardom. He quickly became one of the most popular and successful wrestlers of all time, becoming a six-time WWF/WWE world champion and winning the Royal Rumble three times.
Austin was known for his hard-hitting and no-nonsense style, which made him a fan favorite. He was also known for his memorable catchphrases such as “Austin 3:16” and “Hell Yeah!” His popularity culminated in the “Attitude Era” of the late 1990s, where he was a major force in professional wrestling.
Austin’s success in the ring was matched by his success outside of it. He has appeared in a number of movies and television shows, including The Longest Yard and the reality series Redneck Island. He has also written a number of books and served as a motivational speaker.
Today, Austin is retired from professional wrestling, but his legacy lives on. He is remembered as one of the most influential and successful wrestlers of all time, and his influence is still felt in the WWE.
The only Steve Austin I know is the Six Million Dollar Man. And I haven’t watched wrestling since the days of Da Crusher and Butcher Vachon. To be fair, I have no interest in the Super Bowl, either.

I know that WWE wrestling is popular, over here as well as in the US, but I have never watched any bouts, as I have no interest in any sport.
Best wishes, Pete.
