WWE Hall Of Famer, Stone Cold Steve Austin recently spoke with Sports Illustrated where he discussed Kevin Owens using his finisher.

On him giving KO his blessing to use the Stunner:

“My finish was being used by someone else before I really made it famous, or trademarked it, so to speak,” said Austin. “So I told him, go ahead and use the Stone Cold Stunner. I met him a long time ago at an airport and gave him some advice about cutting a promo. I like Kevin Owens, I think he does an amazing job with his promos and in the ring.”

As well as that he talked about when people would compare Becky Lynch to himself:

“It’s just like when people wanted to compare me to Becky Lynch,” Austin said. “We have similar attitudes, but she’s done things so differently than I have. She’s running her own race, she has her own career, and she’s doing a phenomenal job. People are comparing her to me because she’s got that abrasive attitude like I did, but that’s what we are supposed to have in pro wrestling. You know, I always hated when people called the ‘Attitude Era’ the ‘Attitude Era’ because I always thought professional wrestlers had attitude to begin with. So just let Kevin be Kevin, put him in good situations and don’t put the brakes on him. If you’re going to run with this guy, then let him be the biggest, baddest, best Kevin Owens he can be.”
