Steve Austin: ”I was a slave to the road”

Stone Cold Steve Austin debuts later tonight on A&E at 8:00 pm EST.

A&E TV has released a new sneak peek at tonight’s episode, where Austin talks about the grind of being on the road all the time as a top Superstar and not being able to spend time with your family at home.

“Man, when you were running like I was, at my peak, it’s hard to do anything than be a pro wrestler because it consumes everything about you.

You are in go mode 24/7 – 365. You are a slave to the road, and you never want to come off the road because if you come off the road — you get soft.

So, I was never home. That’s a recipe for disaster. It all looks fun when you’re seeing it on TV, but it ain’t always TV. TV is a very small part of the life that you live when you’re doing that job.”
