An update from Austin.
The knee issues that Stone Cold Steve Austin navigated throughout his pro wrestling career began when he played college football in Texas.
Austin suffered a torn ACL and shared that-that was the beginning of the knee problems that would trouble him. While guest appearing on the Bobbycast, Austin revealed he needs a new left knee.
That was my junior year (of college when I suffered a torn ACL). My first year at North Texas State University there in Denton, Texas. Running down on a kickoff coverage and I hit my guy; was supposed to block and man, I went down. I’d never felt anything like what I felt in my left knee and I tore my ACL but it was a mop-end tear where you tear it in the middle and the edges are kind of frayed. That’s why they call it a mop. But, they can either repair it, or not repair it. Based on the strength of my quads and my hamstrings, they didn’t repair that knee. So, anyway, subsequently, that’s what led to all my knee issues down the road and I’ve had ACL, PCL put in there from cadaver ligaments several years ago and you know, if I’m telling you like it is and I will, I need a new left knee here pretty quick.
WWE WrestleMania 41 is emanating from Austin’s backyard of Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the summer, he stated during a media appearance that he hopes to be at the 2025 installment of the event.
