Ric Flair Reveals New Details About His Health Scare

Ric Flair’s health scare was one of the biggest stories in wrestling last year. On the most recent edition of The Steve Austin Show, Flair revealed in more detail than ever before just how dire his medical situation was.

Ric Flair Health Scare

“I don’t remember anything for two months,” Flair said. “I was in a coma for twelve days, ICU for thirty-one days. I had kidney failure, respiratory and heart failure, I was septic, and I had pneumonia.”

“I lost forty-three pounds. It’s a miracle, Steve,” Flair said.

“Twelve days in a coma, thirty-one days in intensive care, then I had to go over to a rehab facility to learn how to walk, starting from scratch, and I never had any memory of anything,” Flair said.

“Obviously I’ve been told, and it’s been filled in for me, but I don’t remember one person that came to see me. From Michael Hayes, to Ricky Steamboat, to Hulk Hogan, people came from all over to see me. I don’t remember any of it.”

Flair added that even when he returned home from the rehab facility, he was still out of sorts. “They wouldn’t give me my cell phone because every time I said something to someone, it was crazy. Hunter said please don’t let him talk on his cell phone because every time I try to make sense with him, it’s out there.”

Overcoming Depression

Flair says that he had a difficult time coming to grips with what happened to him at first. “I would sit in a chair all day and worry about dying,” Flair said. “After learning how sick I was, I wondered why of all people I was still there and somebody else wasn’t.”

Now that he is more than a year past his ordeal, Flair has a more positive outlook on his crisis.

“I literally look at it as a miracle. The doctor told me it was a miracle. And after I look back, and came to realize what took place, it is a miracle. I’m great now. I feel like a million dollars.”

Ric Flair & Alcohol

Flair says that while alcohol abuse may have been to blame for his health crisis, he has very sparingly had drinks on three social occasions over the last year.

“It’s not the alcohol that’s going to kill me,” Flair said. “The doctors are afraid that if I had one, it’ll lead to another, and that will never happen.”

Later in the show, Flair discusses his 2019 appearance schedule, his appearance at Starrcade this past weekend, and how Charlotte is doing in WWE these days. The first part of the show can be found below. The full episode can be found here.

Kalisto Shares Story Of Meeting Rey Mysterio For The First Time

In an interview with Steve Austin, Kalisto credits Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio with inspiring him to pursue a career in wrestling.

Kalisto sat down with Stone Cold Steve Austin at 317 Gimmick Street on the latest episode of The Steve Austin Show, and discussed what Eddie and Rey meant to him as he was starting out in the wrestling business.

“Eddie not only made noise in the Latin community, he made noise everywhere. Same with Rey,” Kalisto said. “Eddie and Rey set the world on fire and they made some noise. You know what? That inspired me to actually follow my dream,” he said.

“Rey, when he won his world title, he did a book signing at my college in Chicago. I met up with him. I was five months in wrestling,” Kalisto said. “When I saw him, I said ‘I’m in the process of being a luchador, I’m learning so much, and you’re a good inspiration.’

Kalisto continued.

“At the time, I didn’t know he was going to win the title. And when I met him, he’s a little shorter than me, and that gave me inspiration. If he could do it, I could do it.”

Kalisto said that he would have loved to have had the opportunity to meet Eddie as well, but that in a sense, he can tap into Guerrero’s knowledge now, through his friendship with Mysterio.

“Rey, right now, he’s giving me so much advice. I told him I wish I could have met Eddie and picked his brain. And he taught Rey so much, and now I’m picking his brain.”

Kalisto also discusses being able to provide inspiration for the next generation, breaking in, his career, and much more. The full interview can be heard below.

WALTER Talks To Steve Austin About His Career, Hulk Hogan

WALTER appeared on the latest edition of The Steve Austin Show and covered his career, his wrestling influences, and more.

WALTER On His Wrestling Influences

When discussing who he patterned himself after, WALTER brought up some of the Americans that made a name for themselves working in Japan. He mentioned Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody, and Terry Gordy specifically.

Naturally, Hulk Hogan’s name came up as well. “Don’t let anyone tell you Hogan can’t work,” Austin said.

“I’m not a believer that wrestling has to be crisp and perfect all the time,” WALTER said.

The Indie Grind

The grind of the indie scene is a common theme when Austin interviews independent talent, and WALTER touched on that here as well.

“Even though I’m really busy, I try to have a good private life. I always try not to jump 100 percent into the life of pro wrestling where I’m really caught up in it. After weekends where I work, my body is sore but my brain is fried too.”

“I’ve had times in the last month where it felt like I was just visiting my girlfriend’s place, rather than feeling like I was coming home… I like to be home and be a normal dude.”

Breaking In

As the topic shifted to breaking into the business, WALTER revealed that he gave up a solid career in another industry to pursue wrestling.

“I had a good real job, I worked at a logistics company, I started there in an apprenticeship on the warehouse, but I worked my way up. I had my own office and I was in charge of a hundred people.

“It was a good job, money was fine and everything. But at the end of the day, you have to care about stuff that is not your real interest,” he said.

WALTER’s Sports Background

WALTER also spoke about his athletic background, as he was something of a high-level youth soccer player growing up. He played as a goalkeeper but chose not to pursue playing professionally.

WALTER attributes that to the fact that in Europe, you need to decide as a young teenager whether or not to pursue a professional football career.

He says that he started getting interested in other things at that age, and chose not to stick with the sport.

WALTER also discussed his personal life and the indie scene in Europe when he first started out compared to now. He also touched upon his work with the WXW wrestling school, his legendary chops, and much more.

A clip from the show can be found below. The full episode can be found here.

Joey Ryan Talks To Steve Austin About Being A Polarizing Figure, Life After Wrestling

Steve Austin and Joey Ryan chopped it up as Ryan stopped by 317 Gimmick Street on the latest edition of The Steve Austin Show.

Over the course of the nearly 90 minute conversation, Ryan discussed online criticism of his work, the tough sledding that comes with being an independent wrestler, and how long he sees himself making a living in the business.

A Polarizing Figure

Ryan, of course, is something of a polarizing figure in the wrestling industry. Some see an entertaining wrestler who has made a niche for himself in a crowded wrestling landscape. Others, particularly traditionalists, and some vocal hardcore wrestling fans, accuse him of killing the business.

“Online, people call me a piece of s*** on a daily basis. I see that every day, and it’s tough sometimes,” Ryan said. “I go online and I read negative feedback and it kind of gets me a little bit.”

Ryan said that he tries not to focus on the negative, particularly the harsh words from diehards, as he sees himself as more of a wrestler for casual fans. “My audience is casual fans who aren’t as invested in wrestling,” Ryan said. “They just want to be entertained.”

Ryan also said that he reminds himself that the vocal minority is not the measuring stick for his success or failure in wrestling. “How often I get booked, my t-shirt sales, all that stuff, I have to look and see that the positive outweighs the negative.”

Life On The Indies

The life of an independent wrestler is a busy one, Ryan said.

“I work hard, and it’s not just bumping or doing moves. I travel, I don’t sleep, I have to agent my own bookings. I’m independent. I have to negotiate my own deals,” Ryan said.
Ryan also wants to work as much as possible. “Sometimes I overbook myself, whether it’s smart or not.”

Retirement

As the discussion turned to potentially winding down his career, Ryan mentioned that he might see himself in more of a behind the scenes role in the business in the not too distant future.

Much of that, he says, will be determined by his hustle. “It depends on how healthy I can keep myself, and how relevant I can keep myself. I’m working a less is more style now. This character is a blessing too. It plays at conventions, it plays at autograph signings, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the ring,” Ryan said.

Ryan also told a funny story about meeting Kevin Sullivan, discussed All In, and covered a variety of other topics. An excerpt can be found below, while the full episode with Steve Austin and Joey Ryan can be found here.

Steve Austin Comments On What’s Lacking In Today’s Promos

On the latest Edition of The Steve Austin Show Unleashed, Stone Cold gives his take on the state of promos in the wrestling business.

Austin is known for his intense interview style, which he credits to his time working with Brian Pillman in WCW, and his brief stint in ECW.

“I was forced to keep up with him or get left behind,” Austin said. “Through my stop in ECW, everyone in that dressing room could cut a promo, so it was sink or swim.”

Austin feels that that intensity, and a certain authenticity is missing from today’s mainstream wrestling product.

“I think there’s some micromanaging on WWE on the main roster,” Austin said. “Before I had my neck injury, a promo was you go out there with some bullet points.”

Austin pinpoints a shift in WWE’s philosophy right around the time he returned from that neck injury in 2000.

“When I came back from my neck surgery, that’s when they started doing this scripted type thing,” he said. “I was able to pull that off, but I never quite felt the same about what I was doing.”

“Sometimes less is more. And I can see in someone’s eyes when they’re trying to remember something,” Austin said. “One promo sells tickets. The other one’s kinda like, eh.”

Austin also tells a funny story about rooming with Rick Rude, and discusses his favorite country music artists.

Steve Austin Reflects On Longtime Feud With The Invisible Man

WWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin recently welcomed indie wrestler ‘Jumpin” Joey Janela to 317 Gimmick Street for an episode of The Steve Austin Show podcast. Amongst other things, they discussed Janela’s recent work wrestling 10-15 minute matches against…The Invisible Man.

“I’ve actually wrestled The Invisible Man five times, so it is quite the rivalry now.” Janela said, “I think it started off with, I would joke with this guy. He was running local shows in New Jersey and he said, ‘who do you want to wrestle,’ and I said, ‘yeah, I’ll wrestle The Invisible Man.’ And then, ‘when are we going to do it?’ I think one of my shows cancelled running that night and I said, ‘hey, can I come wrestle The Invisible Man?’ And he said, ‘yeah, sure!’ So I just showed up and on the fly, I did what I did. A couple of other promoters wanted to see me versus The Invisible Man, and then, I wrestled The Invisible Man in England at Blackpool Tower.”

During the discussion, Austin revealed that during his time in WCW, he too used to wrestle The Invisible Man before TV tapings.

“I used to do a deal down in WCW where I would wrestle The Invisible Man before TV at CenterStage and I was only going a minute-and-a-half.” Austin mused. “[Janela] put in, like, 15 [or] 20 minutes against this cat. And the crowd, I’m watching the crowd, like, they really bought in and [Janela] [was] totally committed and were in the zone. And the referee did a phenomenal job. [Janela] [was] kind of almost doing a standup routine while [he] [was] doing this.”

No word on if there is a tag bout in the future featuring Austin & Janela vs The Invisible Man & The Shadow.

WWE Tag Team Superstar Features On The Steve Austin Show

While not on TV as much as when he returned, Luke Gallows is a work-horse of WWE.  He’s seen success across multiple companies, and has become a reliable ‘go to’ talent to support those around him.

For anyone who wants a recap of his career, here’s Luke Gallows with Corey Graves on Superstar Ink:

Gallows also featured on a recent episode of The Steve Austin Show.  Here are some of the highlights:

How Gallows Scrambled To Get A Job In WWE:

 “I called Tommy Dreamer and Johnny Ace every week, like, ‘Hey guys, you should probably hire me – I’m pretty good.’ I was having the bulls–t matches in West Virginia against guys in furniture stores and stuff! Terrible! So finally they were opening Deep South and I think they needed to fill it and I wouldn’t leave them alone, so I somehow got my ass in there after three years of terrible indies.”

Before then, Gallows featured on WWE’s Tough Enough…

Pitching A HillBilly Gimmick:

“They bring in Henry Godwinn and my partner eventually ended up being Terry Gordy’s son, Ray Gordy. And the way that happened was Michael [Hayes] brought Henry back and they were going to be the new Godwinns with Henry and Ray. And Ray was always really cool to me, sold me these Tex Slazenger boots. I wore them around for a while. And something happened with him. He had to leave the company. I don’t know what it was, but whatever. But they needed a partner, so some guys from TNA, some old school guys came in, but they couldn’t match this hillbilly thing, so I just watched, like, Larry The Cable Guy stuff and Bill Engvall. I got material for this stuff and I asked ‘Doctor’ Tom Prichard, who I always had a great relationship with, ‘can I please do something with Ray?’ because I know I’ve got nothing. They just killed this weird gimmick that I had. We cut a couple of promos and they loved it!”

Traveling In WWE:

“It’s always us and a rotating third or fourth. We get each other so [well] from when we first clicked, so sometimes Finn Bálor, sometimes Curt Hawkins. We were on SmackDown, so it was always AJ [Styles]. And then, we had Jinder [Mahal] for a while and he left to go to SmackDown and blew up. And we always do good, but we’re always together no matter what. I just think AJ and Jinder put up with us because we were funny and silly when we were reading.”

Impact Wrestling:

 “It was fun. I don’t want to bury anybody there. It was a lot of fun and I had a lot of fun. It was just really different coming out of WWE because I went from bulls–t indies to the WWE. Then I left and I got fired right after my 26th birthday. I was a young cat. I started wrestling when I was just 18 [years old], so I was like, ‘this is not a bad thing – this is a good thing. I’m going to go everywhere and then hopefully go back.’ So I had a lot of fun there. I didn’t make a lot of money, but it was a lot of fun. It was a one-year run and then they were having their issues or whatever.”

Working With Hulk Hogan:

 “Oh man, Hulk was awesome. I always say because I started so young and I loved wrestling so much, I’ve met a lot of guys that were a little bit of a letdown.”

This interview with Steve Austin, as well as the other features in the article, show just how much of a dedicated wrestler Gallows is, and how hard he works behind the scenes and in the locker room.  It may seem like the WWE personas of Gallows and Anderson just search for ‘nerds’ to beat up, but the insights available show there’s more to it.  While this is (or should be) true of all professional wrestlers, it appears as though Luke Gallows has as much of a role backstage as he does when entering the ring.
