what did stone cold steve austin think of the sandman

Stone Cold Steve Austin seemed to think The Sandman was a good, easy guy to work with , not someone he had beef with. In interviews relayed by Sportskeeda, The Sandman said Austin was “just a worker,” “a regular guy,” and “easy to collaborate with,” and that they even did a goofy Three Stooges-style bit together.

What that means

• The Sandman did not sound bitter about Austin using a beer-drinking gimmick; he said he “didn’t care” and wasn’t mad about it.

• He also described Austin as laid-back and fun in the ring, which suggests a positive working relationship.

• Separate reporting notes WWE had even considered a “Sandman” gimmick for Austin at one point, though that was not tied to ECW’s Sandman character.

Quick read

So the clean takeaway is: Austin appears to have respected The Sandman as a solid wrestling partner, and The Sandman did not resent him over the similarities in their characters.

TL;DR

The Sandman’s view was basically: Austin was cool, professional, and fun to work with, and there was no real drama over the beer-and-brawler vibe.
