Over 5,000 fans yesterday attended the premiere of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s new movie, “The Condemned”. The event was free to everyone and was also part of the WrestleMania Travel Package deal. Many WWE Superstars including Batista, Triple H, Mick Foley, JBL, Nitro and Melina, Jim Ross, the McMahons and others were also present for the screening. WWE Films President Joel Simon and the star of the movie Steve Austin were also in attendance.
