Stone Cold Steve Austin Reveals Need For Surgery ‘Pretty Quick’ WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin has revealed a need for left knee surgery “pretty quick.”

Besides drinking beer and throwing up middle fingers, Stone Cold Steve Austin was known for wearing knee braces throughout his run with WWE in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The knee issues that Austin dealt with throughout his wrestling career date back to his time playing college football in Texas.

Appearing on Bobbycast, Stone Cold Steve Austin recalled his knee injury woes during this time, revealing that he now needs left knee surgery sooner rather than later.

Austin explained:

“That was my junior year (of college when I suffered a torn ACL). My first year at North Texas State University there in Denton, Texas.”

“Running down on a kickoff coverage and I hit my guy; was supposed to block and man, I went down. I’d never felt anything like what I felt in my left knee and I tore my ACL but it was a mop-end tear where you tear it in the middle and the edges are kind of frayed.”

“That’s why they call it a mop. But, they can either repair it, or not repair it. Based on the strength of my quads and my hamstrings, they didn’t repair that knee.”

“So, anyway, subsequently, that’s what led to all my knee issues down the road and I’ve had ACL, PCL put in there from cadaver ligaments several years ago and you know, if I’m telling you like it is and I will, I need a new left knee here pretty quick.”

Next year’s WWE WrestleMania 41 event will emanate from Austin’s backyard of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Austin recently commented on the possibility of making a return or taking part in the upcoming Mania event, which you can read at this link here.
