Steve Austin Says He Won’t Give John Cena Advice On His Heel Turn

WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of topics, including if he would give 16-time World Champion John Cena any advice about his heel turn.

Austin said, “No, I wouldn’t [give advice]. I loved working heel when I was in WCW. I loved working heel when I first came into WWE because that was a true heel. When I turned heel at WrestleMania 17, the people didn’t want me to turn heel. It was a forced turn. It was my idea. Vince always likes to do something big on a WrestleMania. He didn’t do anything big. So I suggested that and he said okay, but it was a s**t move. People weren’t ready for it. People didn’t want it. I liked working heel. I just figured it would go over like gangbusters. So the heel I was trying to be was, you know, and trying to be so hated, so much, so fast. I think I tried too hard. When I look back at it, sure, I got to push the creative envelope and do a lot of things that were cool or whatever, and push the envelope in a different direction and go out on a limb, but people didn’t want me to turn heel, and so I should have never done that. So I don’t think that I’m in a position where I need to offer John Cena any advice from Steve Austin.”
