Talking with Newsweek, the man once known as Stone Cold says that he was surprised by his interview with The Undertaker. “I didn’t know The Undertaker very well, I didn’t know Mark very well. He’s a Houston guy, and I grew up 100 miles from there and we were watching the same stuff. But once you get started it’s a whole different animal. Once you get into a groove a great conversation ensues, and I had a wonderful conversation with Undertaker.”
Despite many fans only knowing the gruff Deadman character, Steve Austin got to see what Mark Calaway is like away from the ring. “You ask him a question and he’s a storyteller. He likes to talk, and you would never know that watching the Undertaker.” “When you sit across from the guy he’s not in character. He’s smiling and he’s laughing. And I’ve seen him laugh and smile before backstage, but he’s a breath of fresh air.”

Not only was Austin surprised, but he’s sure that fans watching the interview will share in the feeling. “People at the airport would ask if he was alive or dead. Well he’s alive, and he has a regular voice, and he’s a very charismatic and engaging guy. And very down to earth. You’ll enjoy the conversation, and [it will] catch a lot of people off guard because of how laid back he is.”
