“Stone Cold” Steve Austin was recently interviewed by TMZ Sports, where he discussed the people who have sold his finishing maneuver, the Stunner. He praised Pat McAfee for his recent work at WrestleMania 39.
Here is what Austin had to say:
“Man, top three. I got to say top three because I mean, you know, The Rock is number one. The way he oversold and Scott Hall and some of the other guys that took it. I mean the way…Pat has a natural feel for the business. Epic performer. Great on the stick. Athletically you know that that match he had with the Theory was awesome. And then the kicker was not only the sell of a Stunner, but I don’t know if I threw him out or he ended up out of the ring but to lay there selling, still guzzling the beer, the presence of mind to ad Lib and improvise it like this is a moment without even thinking about it. I think he’s amazing. He’s very entertaining, and as a human being, I like him a whole lot,” Austin stated.

Editor’s Opinion:
The Rattlesnake is dead on here. Pat McAfee has a natural feel for the business and is one of the most entertaining people in all of sports.
