WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was a recent guest on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast to discuss the legacy of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Of course, today (March 16) marks 3:16 day.

According to the Hardcore Legend himself, he doesn’t believe there will ever be another wrestler like Austin.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Steve Austin’s legendary Austin 3:16 promo: “It was one of those things [where] you knew [the promo was a special one] as soon as you heard it. Plus, adding to the legend, not in that it’s not true, but in that it becomes part of the Stone Cold legend, is that he had to get stitched up in between matches. So you’ve got him hitting this amazing line with the stitches. He just reeked of credibility.”

On not expecting to see another talent who can change the business like Austin again: “We saw lightning strike twice with Steve and The Rock. The one knock I would have when my son was one of the main writers for NXT was, ‘Wow. That was great, that was great… I don’t remember anybody’s name.’ People tended to look and wrestle similarly, with a couple of exceptions. I’d be hard-pressed to name a handful of people even after watching a major show. Rock had grown up with it in his blood. Steve was one of the last people in my generation to be a territory guy, so he was able to build that up. I don’t know if we’re going to see somebody like Steve again. I really don’t know if you’re going to see someone who changes things that rapidly, that fully.”
