On a recent episode of his “IMPAULSIVE” podcast, WWE Superstar Logan Paul shared a wild behind-the-scenes story involving none other than WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. According to Paul, he once offered Austin a whopping $1 million to don the mascot costume of his beverage brand, PRIME. The catch? Austin flat-out turned it down. He said,
“We literally offered Steve a million bucks to get in the Prime bottle. He passed. Instead, he ended up running over some poor woman with an ATV at WrestleMania 41! We were like, ‘Bro, do you wanna get in this bottle?’ I don’t think he even thought about it.”
Paul continued. “Just imagine the face reveal — open the Prime bottle and it’s Stone Cold! He could’ve done whatever he wanted in there, which is exactly why I think it would’ve worked. Maybe someday, I don’t know. I’m just saying, bro.”
During a recent interview with Vegas Sports Daily at a WrestleMania After Dark event, WWE Superstar Damian Priest commented on the hard work that went into WrestleMania 41 being such a successful event.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On WWE’s hard work: “First, I’ll say this. When was the last time you not heard him say that? (Arenas being sold out) This is what we do, I say that because that’s what we do. Every PLE, every year, we’re raising the bar for ourselves. So we attribute that. It’s just the idea of just hard work. The fact that we just want to be better than yesterday for tomorrow.”
On doing it for the fans: “That’s for our fans. Plain and simple. They’re the ones that are breaking the records, really, not us. So it’s the fans showing out because they love this product so much and that’s what it is. We’re giving the fans what they want, no matter what anybody thinks. That’s what’s happening right now and as long as they keep showing up, we’ll keep showing out.”
