I place this thread in this subsection because this podcast includes a lot of interviews with a lot of wrestling's legends. I know Switch-Truth and low listen to this podcast, but if you haven't listened to this show yet, I highly recommend that you all check it out on iTunes.
Colt Cabana's podcast has been a great listen for the last couple of years, but I believe Steve Austin has now surpassed Cabana in terms of wrestling podcasts, partly because of the higher profile guests he can have on his show, but also because Austin is just so natural and comfortable in talking both to his audience as well as having conversations with his guests. I have enjoyed every podcast I've listened to so far, including Terry Funk, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, and Lance Storm, but I really urge you all to check out his podcasts with Bret Hart and Tim White in particular for some great road stories. The amount of humility Austin shows for a guy like Bret Hart, to the point of criticizing himself for how he could have worked better in the ring with Bret even though he is the biggest star the business has ever seen is really heart warming. And aside from Tim White's stories about Andre the Giant, Austin's rationale about why everyone should wash their hands after taking a piss is one of the funniest Austinisms I've ever listened to.
I also recommend the two-part interview he just conducted with Josh Barnett as well, Barnett is an incredibly intelligent guy, and Austin himself is much more articulate and thoughtful than he probably gets credit for, considering the character he is best known for portraying on television.
