Vince McMahon to Stone Cold on Royalties Deal: ‘I’ve Never Given Out a Check Like This Before’
There isn’t a more iconic shirt in pro wrestling history than “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s “Austin 3:16” shirt.
During an appearance on this week's SI Media With Jimmy Traina, Austin explained how he was able to get a bigger cut of those T-shirt sales from Vince McMahon and how the owner reacted when it was time to give Stone Cold his first royalty check after he negotiated an increase.
During the podcast interview, Austin also discusses his new show on A&E, Stone Cold Takes on America, what he thinks of the current WWE story line involving Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, and his feelings on CM Punk’s status with AEW.
Austin also reminisces about his legendary career, sharing his thoughts on the biggest pop he ever got from a WWE crowd.
