Steve Austin tried retirement once... and he hated it.
When he was told injuries meant he could no longer wrestle, the WWE legend went back to his ranch in Texas - hunted, fished, drunk beer and got bored.
So now he's back and putting all the passion and energy that made him the world's top grappler into becoming a movie star.
In our latest exclusive WrestleCast show, Steve talks about his new film on the world of underground fighting Damage - out on DVD and Blu-ray now - and "rolling around with Sylvester Stallone" in the all-star Expendables.
He also reveals that he turned down approaches from the WWE to guest host on Raw and appear on the recent Smackdown 10th anniversary show.
Having recently watched the Hall Of Fame package the company put together on his career, Steve admitted: "That hit me so hard. It was five or six minutes long and finally helped me understand and really accept my impact.
"After seeing that I really want to be judicious with my returns to the WWE as I want them to be really impactful and well-written - everyone knows how critical I am of creative!"
Steve also talked about his worries for Jeff Hardy, criticisms of TNA, passing the torch to John Cena and why he'll always be known as Stone Cold.
Last time Austin came on WrestleCast, fans around the world voted it their favourite interview of 2008.
