Stone Cold Steve Austin: “WWE Hall of Fame Induction Is Not Enough For Chyna”

The wrestling world is still reeling from the news of Chyna’s death. It’s affected everyone who worked with her differently from the current crop of WWE superstars to legends of the past.

On the most recent episode of The “Stone Cold Podcast”, Austin discussed Chyna and revealed that he received the news almost immediately after coming out of surgery to fix his shoulder that was injured at Wrestlemania 32.

You can listen to the full episode of his podcast right here. Below are some of the highlights:

How did he learn about Chyna’s death? 

“I wake up [after surgery]. I got the pain block going. I don’t really need any pain pills and I’m clear-headed now. I can remember all of the events that are happening and I’m wide awake.

It was like somebody hit me in the head with a baseball bat. I’m coming out of this anesthesia. I’m pretty clear-headed. And then, someone calls me and just tells me that someone that I care deeply about and had many, many good times with was gone. And she was only, I guess, 46 years old. And again, I was under the assumption, I knew she had some issues, but I was under the assumption that she was straightened up or clean or whatever. And, man, I tell you what, I just stood around and I was in shock. Didn’t really know what to do. There’s nobody to call. There’s nothing to talk about. It’s just so heavy duty.”

What do you think about Chyna being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame posthumously?

“I don’t think it will ever be right because she didn’t go into the [WWE] Hall Of Fame while she was alive, living and breathing with us. And I thought she earned the right to be in the Hall Of Fame and to put her in there posthumously if I’m saying that word correctly, man, it’s just not good enough. And so, I don’t know how you rectify that, how you deal with that because things are just screwed up. And, man, her going into the Hall Of Fame is just so small in comparison to the fact that this young lady is no longer with us. I don’t know what to make of it.”
