Steve Austin's latest podcast is out and his guest is Paul Heyman. For those that weren't around in the mid-nineties, Austin really got to do the start of his Stone Cold persona on ECW TV. Heyman encouraged him to be creative and it led to some great promo work. It's definitely worth checking out on The WWE Network.
