Vince Russo Recalls Story About Steve Austin Going Off On Jeff Jarrett Backstage

Last night's WrestleMania ended to mixed results from fans and viewers, but had it's fair share of memorable "WrestleMania moments."
One of those moments saw WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin lay waste to the League of Nations, before landing a Stunner on Xavier Woods. On last night's Wrestling Inc Podcast, co-host Vince Russo recalled a favorite story of his about Austin during his first WWF run.
"Jeff Jarrett had an in-ring (promo), and I wrote it for him. I wrote out his promo and he memorized it, and he said he added something about the 'Austin 3:16' thing offending him. I asked him if he was sure that he wanted to do that, and he said that Steve would be cool with it," Russo said.
According to Russo, Austin was most certainly not 'cool with it.'
"He brought up the Austin 3:16 line, that it was blasphemy and offended him. I'm standing by the curtain, and guess who is standing next to me? Austin. I've never saw a man so red in the face in my life. He was just waiting for Jeff to come through the curtain. Steve was straight away in his face. I've never seen someone do the backpedaling Jeff did," said Russo.
Russo also said that he recently interviewed Steve Austin for The Brand, and that Austin got upset talking about it again.
"It's 20 years ago, he does my podcast and I bring up the incident," Russo said with a laugh. "He got hot talking about it again. The more I talked about it the hotter and hotter he got. I thought it was the most entertaining thing that he's just as upset today as 20 years ago."
