WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin candidly discussed the infamous car hit angle at Survivor Series 1999, labelling it as “the worst storyline” he was ever involved with in wrestling.
In an episode of his podcast, The Steve Austin Show, Austin expressed his discontent with the angle. Reflecting on the events of 1999, Austin revealed the challenges he faced due to the necessity of undergoing a neck fusion, which sidelined him for approximately a year. He bluntly characterised the car hit storyline as the low point of his career, emphasising the frustration and dissatisfaction he experienced as a result of being involved in what he perceived to be a subpar plot.
Yeah, about ’99 because I had to get my neck fused. I was gone for about a year. You caught the worst part of my career! Me being clipped by a god dang car! S**t, that was the worst storyline I was ever involved in. But we had to come up with a way so that we could get my a** out of the way. That was ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, I had to get my neck fused up and that was a suck-a** angle.
