During a recent interview with ESPN’s “Monday Tailgate”, Steve Austin commented on Pat McAfee’s work in NXT, Rob Gronkowski winning the WWE 24/7 Championship, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Pat McAfee in NXT: “Hey man, he puts it all on the line. He’s going for it. Basically, I think his verbal skills — he’s slaying everybody, but he’s not afraid to go out there and put it all on the line. So, you know, you wouldn’t expect that from somebody who goes out there and kicks a football, but no, Pat McAfee is badass. I think he’s done a really, really good job. I’d give him a solid A.”
On Rob Gronkowski’s brief run in WWE: “Gronk, he’s one of my favorite players of all time. All of the sudden, he sees the opportunity, seizes it, there you go. 1-2-3. There he goes, 24/7 champion. Now, the 24/7 Championship, with all due respect, it pales in comparison to the World Heavyweight title. So, I’m gonna give Gronk a real solid B+ on that.”
