– Edge and Christian discussed the game ‘Don’t Look at Me’ that they play with Steve Austin on their latest podcast. Highlights are below, per Wrestling Inc:

Edge on their ‘Don’t Look at Me’ game with Steve Austin: “Austin, Jay, and myself have played this game called ‘Don’t Look At Me.’ But just real briefly, if one of us say to the other[s], ‘don’t look at me,’ [the response is], ‘Ah, how long?’ And then, you have to not look at that person for that long and that person can try to get in your eyesight.”

Christian on a time Austin got him with the game: “Actually, he got me good! One time, he told me [not to look at him for] 15 minutes and he kept walking passed me in the hall, trying to get in my sightline, and I’m spinning around talking to people, saying, ‘Get out of my eyeshot!’ and people were looking at me like, ‘What is this f–king moron doing?'”

Edge on playing the game at Raw 25: “We are grown men, everyone. And Steve Austin is arguably, and not so arguably, the biggest star in the history of the industry. And at the 25th anniversary of RAW, he is back there with ‘The Birdman’ playing ‘Don’t Look At Me.'”

Christian on getting Austin while he was being raised on the Undertaker’s cross: “I think I got him with the ultimate ‘Don’t look at me’. We were tying him to Undertaker’s cross and we were going to hang him up on the cross, I was at his hand and I was tying his hand, and I go, ‘Steve,’ I whispered to him. He goes, ‘What?’ I go, ‘Don’t look at me.’ He goes, ‘You son of a b—h! How long?’ He was asking me how long!”
