• Steve Austin Reveals Why Royal Rumble Matches Are A “Pain In The A$$”
During a recent interview with Bleacher Report, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin explained the difficulties he faced while working Royal Rumble matches.
Below is what Austin said:
“I think they’re fun to work, but at the same time they’re a pain in the a$$ to work because there’s a lot going on — there’s a lot to remember.
You’re always going to have a couple of guys — I’ve been there myself — just standing around in the corner ‘trying’ to throw the other guy over the top. They just can’t leverage him enough, you know?
Sometimes the ring is so crowded, you really can’t lock into anything because if someone tries to do something, it inevitably turns into a cluster because there’s too many guys in the ring. They are tedious.”
