Steve Austin discussed Ric Flair’s health, the Roman Reigns/John Cena promo on Raw and more with Shawn Waltman on the latter’s X-Pac 1,2,360 podcast. Audio and highlights are below:

On Ric Flair’s health: “I talked to him yesterday, on the phone, and he’s laughing. He’s got a ways to go and I will elaborate no further about that.”

On Raw’s Roman Reigns/John Cena promo: “Anytime you go out to the ring and you didn’t learn something new, you probably missed an opportunity. I don’t care how good you are, you can always get better. So, if Roman learned something from that and he can capitalize on it and gain and improve in the future, props to him.”

On Southpaw Regional Wrestling: “I watched all of season one, I’ve probably seen every episode six times. Jesus Christ, Rusev talking about the chickens and he almost breaks character … huge fan, I love it, I am about to watch Season 2… It’s so campy, and hokey and fun.”

On The Fashion Police: “Fandango and Tyler Breeze together… and all of a sudden they put the Fashion Files out and I am like, when I watch Raw those guys, they crack me up. I’ll rewind their s–t, I don’t know how many times.”

On Willie Mack using the Stunner: “Man, I think he does a good job with it and I’ve been wanting to have him on the podcast… I think it’s great. He’s a damn good worker to begin with. I got no problem with it at all. I think it’s bad ass.”

On possibly attending PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles: “We just got finished filming (Broken Skull Challenge) so I might undertake one evening of that. Because I’ve been wanting to check out that scene because I’ve heard how cool the atmosphere is and everybody buys in.”
