WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin spoke with Justin Barrasso of SI.com for a new interview to promote tonight’s episode of WWE Raw in New York City, NY at Madison Square Garden on the USA Network.
In this interview, he reflected on his memories at the arena. Here are the highlights:
“Walking through those doors at the Garden is still special for me,” said Austin. “That’s the WWE’s backyard. Even though they’ve been away for a couple of years, that’s a very special building to Vince.”
“Some of my most iconic moments happened at the Garden,” said Austin, who began to redefine his career after wrestling Bret Hart in a Survivor Series match at the Garden in November 1996, the same place where he delivered his first-ever Stone Cold Stunner on Vince McMahon in 1997. “They play at the Barclays a lot, but they wanted to go back home to the Garden and I’m thrilled to be there.”
