Insights into "The Condemned"

Brady Bogen opens the discussion by focusing on Austin's new movie, "The Condemned," set to release on April 27, 2007. Austin provides an enthusiastic overview:

"It's a rated R movie. It's a hard action movie. If you like hard action movies, this is one for you. It's violent, it's got some humor in it and a few people die and all kinds of cool stuff. So there's a little bit of a message to this movie also."
— Stone Cold Steve Austin [01:30]

Austin emphasizes the film's blend of intense action, humor, and underlying messages, positioning it as a standout in the action genre.

Behind-the-Scenes Anecdotes

The conversation shifts to Austin's experiences on set, particularly his interactions with co-star Vinnie Jones:

"There was a lot of practical joking going on the set, and we had a good time. And Vinny's a funny guy and he's a wise guy, so that's all we did, was make fun of each other."
— Stone Cold Steve Austin [03:07]

Austin shares fun stories about pranking Jones, including placing promotional photos on his mirror and a memorable incident involving blow-up dolls:

"I got a bunch of those damn blow up dolls and a few assorted items and just killed his bus with all that stuff. And the brutality ensued from there."
— Stone Cold Steve Austin [03:18]

These anecdotes highlight the camaraderie and playful environment during the film's production.

Stone Cold’s Wrestling Career

A significant portion of the interview delves into Austin's wrestling persona and the evolution of his iconic image. Discussing his original wrestling name concepts, Austin reflects on rejected ideas and the creation of "Stone Cold":

"When I first came up with the concept... I came up with this cold blooded ruthless character. So I pitched this idea to the office... Names like Fang McFrost, Ice Dagger, and Otto Von Ruthless."
— Stone Cold Steve Austin [04:01]

Austin candidly recounts the challenges of crafting a persona that resonated with fans, ultimately leading to the birth of one of wrestling's most enduring characters.

Hair Loss and Its Impact

Addressing a more personal topic, Austin discusses his decision to shave his head due to hair loss, a pivotal moment in solidifying his "Stone Cold" image:

"When I was at WCW, I had long blonde hair... I watched this special about the serial killer and I came up with this cold blooded ruthless character."
— Stone Cold Steve Austin [04:44]

He humorously narrates his failed attempt to use a wig:

"So I walked out of that damn place and never went and got it. But shaving my head ended up working out real well for me."
— Stone Cold Steve Austin [06:03]

This decision not only enhanced his on-screen persona but also became a defining characteristic beloved by fans.

The hosts and Austin engage in playful discussions about the practicality of wrestling moves outside the ring. Austin humorously assesses the effectiveness of his signature "Stone Cold Stunner" in real-life situations:

[Brady]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

To you by MMP Guns, your trusted source for firearms and Accessories [e-mail] All they show with none of the fluff.

[Brady]

Let's get started.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

There's more of the best of homework's morning sickness.

[Brady]

Very pleased to announce the arrival. Oh, I just. I gotta play the song for God's sakes. I'm not gonna get through this without that, ladies. If I can find it. If. There he is right here. His music has started. Stone cold Steve Austin standing right there. Look, there he. Welcome, sir.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the music here. I've got an alarm clock that I travel with. Every time I need to wake up that glass breaks like that and start crashing beer cans together like a.

[Eric]

Yes.

[Brady]

I've never seen a do that.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Hang around with me for a while.

[Brady]

You will. So you got your new movie. You're in town just for a little while promoting Away on the Condemned. Let's get to that right off the bat. The Condemned is. Is ready to go. And when does it open?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

And it comes out April 27th. And I came in yesterday and we screened it last night with a group here in town and had a lot of fun. I set the back and watch these people react to this thing. It's a. It's a rated R movie. It's a hard action movie. If you like hard action movies, this is one for you. It's violent, it's got some humor in it and a few people die and all kinds of cool stuff. So there's a little bit of a message to this movie also.

[Unknown]

Oh cool.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

It's good.

[Unknown]

Now are some of the people dying? Is there some original people getting offed? You know, like that's what I like about sometimes the action movie that you know because you always when came out the Seagal films, when he's doing Those, you know, compound fracture breaks on arms and stuff.

[Brady]

Solid stuff. What's new. What is. What is a new death for Brady to enjoy?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

You got to go see the movie to find out about the. There's some interesting deaths. No, no doubt about that. We're not doing the old. The triple compound seagal thing.

[Brady]

Good for you, because that isn't working out. That's not a longevity move right there. And you made the best move in a movie I can say, ever. Vinnie Jones is your C.O. dude, if you don't know, he's the.

[Eric]

He's been in everything awesome and Snatch.

[Brady]

And most people listening to us would remember him from. What is that, Euro trip. Yeah, he's the nut job on the English soccer. Soccer hooligan. He's the greatest actor, former soccer player. And you guys just hung out the whole time, goofing around?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Yeah, he got his start in a couple Guy Ritchie movies and, you know, lock, stock, two smoking barrels. He's a great guy. He's 100 fisher in his personal life, so am I. He likes to drink his beers. And believe it or not, I do, too.

[Brady]

Really?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Yeah. What's your beer of choice? Well, you know, right now, I mean, like, it all depends. Like, if I roll in somewhere, I'd rather drink draft, so. Middle Light, Bud Light, anything, you know, whatever it is. But, you know, a lot of times we're just drinking anything else. But. But Vinnie was cool.

[Unknown]

Call that water?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Yeah, there was a lot of. There was a lot of practical joking going on the set, and we had a good time. And Vinny's. Vinnie's a funny guy and he's a wise guy, so that's all we did, was make fun of each other.

[Brady]

What's like. What's a practical joke you guys played? What. What happened?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Well, it'd just be a deal. I mean, like, some of the more simple ones would be, like in the makeup trailer, we. We dropped. We were right next to each other getting makeup. So he'd show up, or I'd show up in the morning, and there'd be 8 by 10 photos, promo photos of Vinny signed to me. So the next day he'd have a bunch of them on his mirror. And then it got a little bit more serious. I'd go into one of those triple X shops and I got a bunch of those damn blow up dolls and a few assorted items and just killed his bus with all that stuff. And the brutality ensued from there. And we'll. Sweet story. Yeah.

[Brady]

No. Yeah, well, once you bring the dildos, into the picture. We can pretty much understand. Yeah, I was gonna say we pretty much understand where you're headed when you start going that way. Is it true your name was originally like icy McFreeze or something like that? I read that somewhere. I was like, no way.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

You're real close. When I first came up with the concept, you know, because I was wrestling just as the ringmaster when they brought me into the wwe and I'd been Steve Austin for so many years. So I watched this special about the serial killer and I came up with this cold blooded ruthless character. So I pitched this idea to the office and told him where I was coming from. And at that time, I was trying to be a bad guy heel, the most hated person in wrestling. So they faxed me back the office to creative team right at WWE. Names like Fang McFrost, Ice Dagger and Otto Von Ruthless. I like that. Junk like that. But I mean, there's.

[Brady]

But with your accent, Otto Von Ruthless ain't happening.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

All right.

[Brady]

I'm from Germany, everybody.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Ruthless, everybody. I'm open up a cannibal Pan.

[Brady]

That would be an awesome dude to hang with because he's got definite mental disorder. But I like, I like that. But yeah, Stone Cold could have very easily just not ever shown up on the radar screen had one of those names taken.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Well, you know, maybe so, but I was smart enough to see that there were turds. Yeah, drop that in a shredder and they were proceeded accordingly.

[Brady]

Yeah, well, there you go. It's. It's very important to recognize when your boss or the people above you are turds and move past them.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

That's a huge turd sniffer in this business.

[Unknown]

Yeah, you do. You got a hydroplane above it too.

[Brady]

You and I. You and I shaved our heads for the same reason, by the way.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Receding hairline.

[Brady]

Yeah, that is exactly right. No, Natural Born Killers made us say we've got receding hairlines. Let's do it.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

You know what? It ended up working out real well for me because I have.

[Brady]

What are you saying?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

No, I'm not saying. I can only talk from my personal experience. Oh, I see.

[Brady]

Okay, I agree with you.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I was starting to lose my hair. You know, back when I was at with wcw, I had long blonde hair, natural, you know, it was beautiful hair. I just wasn't getting a lifetime guarantee on it. Right.

[Unknown]

You did look hot. I've seen some pictures.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Real cute, huh?

[Brady]

You were gorgeous.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

So then you always think that when you get in pro wrestling, the guy that breaks you in the business as Your mentor can always answer any question about life that you have. Of course, we know that's not true, but.

[Brady]

Right.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

So I called a guy that broke me in. I said, hey, Chris, I said, you know, kind of starting to lose my hair. What do you think I ought to do? So what do you expect him to say? He goes, I don't know.

[Brady]

Quality mentor.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

The guy that's supposed to be able to answer all my life problems isn't able to help me. So that's back when they had that hair clip from in going everywhere. And I was living in Atlanta at the time. So I call up, book up an appointment. I go in there and it's real nice looking blonde lady came in there. And I'm sitting in a chair, you know, just in this barren room. And she comes in with some rubber gloves on and two of those wooden tongue depressor sticks.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

And she starts combing through my hair and she goes, okay, you know what? We can take this and we'll put this over here, and we'll put this over here. And I'm thinking, bull, right? You know, I ain't gonna do that. So basically, you know, I walked out of that damn place and never went and offed it, you know, but shaving my head ended up working out real well for me.

[Brady]

Me too. But I thought.

[Unknown]

I thought maybe you'd say the. The creative team would have come up with some sketches of what you should look like with the hair.

[Brady]

Oh, that would.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Back in the day. That would have been fitting.

[Brady]

So the girl. Who's the girl in your movie, by the way? She's hot.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Which one? There's a couple of. This one right here.

[Brady]

That's standing next to you.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Yeah, that's her name in the movies. Rosa.

[Brady]

What is her name in real life, do you know?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Darcy Ruiz?

[Brady]

Oh, and Irish. How'd that go on set? Any action?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Watch the movie.

[Brady]

You can watch her fall in love.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

With you through the film.

[Brady]

Fantastic.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

She's the one that didn't fall in love with me.

[Brady]

Really? There is one on there that.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

No, no, it's called the Condemned.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. There's no love in this movie. None. What?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

It's probably the feel good movie of 2007.

[Brady]

You say that.

[Eric]

A bunch of prisoners killing each other. The feel good movie.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Feels good. Sounds good to me.

[Brady]

Yeah, I'm in. That sounds like that felt real good about it. You're from Texas. They love killing prisoners there.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

They really do. Hey, light them up. They shouldn't be in prison if they're in prison or found guilty. Light them up.

[Brady]

I agree. Absolutely. Now Eric here is a big wrestling fan and he's going to ask you to sign.

[Eric]

I got a book. I got your look, I got it from the Goodwill I one of the band.

[Brady]

So when the poor might as well.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Chops in the house.

[Brady]

So he wants you to sign the book. But the whole time we've been talking about you going, yeah, that movie. His moves weren't very good.

[Eric]

You know, that stunner couldn't have hurt. I looked at that thing, man. Now the tombstone pile driver. However, now that.

[Brady]

Now you're kissing his ass because you were. You were really kissing his ass.

[Eric]

That's how his neck got broke.

[Unknown]

He wanted me to put on a.

[Brady]

Wrestling with a broken neck. For how long?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Well, I wasn't really broken. I ended up bruising my spinal cord. I was paralyzed about 90 seconds. You know, Transient quadriplegic. Scared the hell out of me.

[Brady]

Oh yeah.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Anyway, able to come back out of that. But let me tell you something about that stone cold starter. It works great in a wrestling ring, but it's probably not going to work good in real life. If I was to go, you'll lose.

[Unknown]

The fight by trying that one.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

If we all went in the bar right now and just started drinking and then we started getting more drunk and more drunk and we got in a big ass fight with a bunch of folks and you guys are going toe to toe with everybody and I just jump up and hit someone with a stone cold stunner, Right?

[Brady]

You're done.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I don't think anything's gonna happen.

[Unknown]

They'll be stunned for a second.

[Brady]

What is this we're doing to me?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

The guy's gonna say, what the hell are we doing sitting on the ground.

[Brady]

Sickness? Are you trying to make out with me? Yeah, it doesn't really work out. I never thought of that. But yeah. So Eric was mouthing. Evidently he was right.

[Eric]

See, I could take him no problem.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I got a few tricks up my sleeve.

[Brady]

Yeah, I'd like to watch you throw him too many.

[Unknown]

Fold him up like a Samson.

[Eric]

He's got a bad spine. I know I could outrun him.

[Brady]

Eric, that's one bad item on him.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Have you seen the movie yet?

[Eric]

No, I have.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I'm a running some.

[Eric]

Are you pretty good?

[Unknown]

90 seconds. Eric made it look like you were in traction for four years. Yeah, he was like, God, a guy has no spine.

[Brady]

Here's the thing. And the reason we haven't seen it yet is because we learned our lesson with the Rock Rock.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

What happened?

[Brady]

We've had the Rock in here a couple times and he's done like two just absolutely horrendous movies. And we saw him beforehand and then we were nice to him the next day and we had to tell him. Yeah, it was great. So just in case we didn't want to see it first, I wish you.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Guys would have seen it because I guarantee you when you do and I, you know, I'm leaving here in a few minutes, but if you get a chance to go see it, I really hope you do. It's. It's a good movie and I had a lot of fun making it in.

[Unknown]

The time that we did it. Makes you more excited to want to see the film because that's my point. Hard talking to someone after you've seen it. You don't like it.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

But you know what? I, you know, I, I'm real cool about that kind of stuff because I wouldn't come out here if you guys have seen the movie. I'm not gonna come out here. Go. Did you guys, did you like it?

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Let's just talk some trash and have a good time.

[Brady]

I mean, people about the movie, but.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I'm here to say it was a good movie and I hope you guys, you guys get a chance to.

[Brady]

I will see now. I want to see it. And that's the point of this whole thing. I didn't want to see you and think, oh, in the back of my mind, I just watched this movie and I didn't like it. That's the worst thing in the world.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

It's a good action movie. Got a little bit of story going on.

[Brady]

There you go and you say far.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Has been received very well.

[Brady]

There's a message in it and there's violence which is missing from movies now. Good old fashioned movie violence.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

This is a movie. We ain't wearing wires and doing all that crazy stuff where you hit somebody to go flying back 30 yards.

[Unknown]

Jet Lee stuff.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

This is a deal where you, when you hit somebody, somebody gets hurt.

[Brady]

Beautiful.

[Unknown]

You're not running across a bamboo forest or anything. Up in the air, through the trees.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

No, we. That didn't. We edited that out.

[Brady]

Yeah. Crouching Tiger, Hidden, Stone Cold, Steve Austin. What about this Punk thing? Was that real when you were unpunked? I don't even know if anybody knows. You went nuts and it was great.

[Unknown]

I thought you were gonna crush the guy.

[Eric]

Yeah, you know what?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I, I have never seen Punk because I don't watch the show, but do I know what it is? Yes. And so when that started happening, it just was a little screwy. And I used to eat at that restaurant all the time.

[Brady]

And what happened? I don't remember exact details.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I just remember some guy accused some guy that was the parking attendant of stealing my manager's BlackBerry thing or whatever. Dom. In my lab, like, now I got to take up for somebody.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

And that little parking attendant, he had. He had a little bit of a starter kid on that goatee.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I mean, if his cat would have licked his chin, the whiskers would have disappeared. So when he had that scruff on his chin, I didn't buy it. You know, there's. There's something a little bit screwy going on. And then all kind of. The girl comes on, she dumps some more stuff in my lap. I'm like, you know, this ain't right. Right. And then. But anyway, the guy starts kind of egging me on a little bit. So I kind of started talking to him in a real soft tone. But the kid pulled the plug because he was getting nervous. Yeah.

[Brady]

Oh, no, I was getting nervous watching. I.

[Unknown]

You were ready to go serious and went. And he was just the type of guy that invites a fist.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Yeah, exactly. But then you, you know, you go that way and trouble for you big time.

[Brady]

No, you're not going to do that. But you. You have the ability to get crazy eyes. And you got them, and it was great tv. I was like, this has to be fake because nobody can pull this off and not be this man.

[Unknown]

I was just gonna say the years being in this business, do you. I mean, have you had flat out challenges before being out of bar? Let's go.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

No, you know what? People ask me that all the time. I think it's kind of an energy you give off or something like that. When I go to have some drinks and pretty much I'm a lounge lizard. I like to hang at the hotel that I'm at and not get out. I certainly not going to drink and drive. But if someone ever does anything. No one ever does anything like that to me. If anything, it's like, hey, can I buy you a beer? And usually I'll say, no, I appreciate it, because I probably got about seven of them already in front of me. And then you might get the odd, hey, let's arm wrestle request. And I don't arm wrestle, but to. I've been real lucky.

[Brady]

Leg wrestle. Anybody offer that one up?

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

That's a little bit different.

[Brady]

We'll go up there and do that. Yeah, that's a. That's cool. Well, man, we appreciate you coming in here. I know this is a grueling deal. I. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. Right.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

You know what, it's a lot of fun though, because when you get on airplanes, I mean, you got to have a few cocktails because you know you got a steering wheel in your hand and you know when you, after the movie, you got to have a few cocktails because then you got to go to sleep. And when you get up, you got to have your cocktails because you're going to go talk about the movie. Like, I'm ready to go. Movie.

[Brady]

Gotta get back in shape. You need another movie so you can go on tour again. Well, it's cool. We thank you, man. Appreciate you coming in.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

Thank you guys for giving me the time. And if you get a chance, I hope you see the movie. It comes out April 27th.

[Brady]

See, now I'm pumped about it. The Vinnie Jones factor. And now Stone Cold Steve Austin in the movie the Condemned comes out next Friday. Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate it. Very cool. Always entertaining. Stone Cold. And will you sign Eric's book? Is that gonna be a problem?

[Eric]

Yeah, please.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

All right.

[Brady]

Beautiful. You got it at the Goodwill. You have to. He can't afford it. He can't afford it.

[Unknown]

On my chest.

[Brady]

Yeah, he signed Brady's. It's 98k. Stone Cold. About as solid as they get. And people calling up, emailing and all that stuff telling us. They'd have never guessed it. So it's time for our Jim Rome moment. Because after Jim Rome does emails or does interviews, he always reads the emails about how great he was. So I just got a couple, so we'll just do that.

[Eric]

Oh, so you're gonna enter the ego.

[Brady]

Dear Pimp, out of all the people in the wwe, I would have never thought Steve Austin was such a nice, funny dude. I am loving that interview. Ashley, great interview. Best I have ever heard. I will listen to you forever. Richard.

[Unknown]

Richard Fish.

[Brady]

Dear Holmberg, there is no way I am missing that movie after your interview misspelled. What a stand up dude. Great work, Wade.

[Eric]

Good job, Romy.

[Brady]

I've always liked that about Jim Rome. We talked to Bobby Knight a minute ago. I've received over a thousand emails of which I will read all talking about how great my interview with him was.

[Eric]

I am great.

[Brady]

I always get those moments where you kind of want to go in with deeper questions, you know, because it's so light hearted fun. Hey, Steve, you got your movie and all that, but you want to get into the. Let's talk about your family.

[Unknown]

There's only three.

[Brady]

Oh, you're gonna make Steve Austin cry.

[Unknown]

And there's only one thing that would surprise you if you get a chance to meet him, is you're thinking your hands gonna get crushed when you shake his hand.

[Brady]

He's learned it's soft. Very nice.

[Eric]

He probably broke a few hands, probably.

[Brady]

Busted a few people.

[Unknown]

I was thinking he goes with lanolin.

[Brady]

He's got very soft hands. I noticed that, too. Brady.

[Eric]

Did you see him back down to me, by the way? Yeah, once I started puffing up a little bit, he kind of.

[Brady]

I think you showed up puffed up.

[Eric]

He admitted this stunner weak.

[Unknown]

I think you got a whiff of that chronic halitosis going on.

[Brady]

I tell you what. I'll show you the stunner in a bar. Damn it, man. You're gonna make stone cold Steve Austin cry. That's all I want to do, is just make wrestlers come in here. Let's get to the pain. Your Uncle Vito wasn't nice to you, was he? No, God damn it. He's not nice to anybody.

[Eric]

Deep inside.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

It wasn't my fault.

[Brady]

It wasn't your fault, Steve. You're right. It was my fault. I like hunting, fishing.

[Unknown]

He likes to start talking about that. Hunting.

[Brady]

Yo. He likes hunting. He was cool. He's about as nice a guy as we've had in here. That was probably one of my. Yeah, all the wrestlers were cool. Batista scared me, but we had Bob Saget in here to protect us, so that was nice. But that was cool. All those wrestlers are great. The Rock, stone cold. That's great. We got to get more of them in here. And the condemned. Now, see, that's why you don't see the movie before the interview. Just in case. Just in case. Now, I'm not saying the movie's bad by any means. I'm just saying if I didn't like it, then you got to interview him the next day. That's an awkward situation because he can kick my ass three ways from Sunday, so I don't want to do that.

[Unknown]

So now.

[Brady]

Now I'm very excited to see them. Movie, right?

[Eric]

I'll protect you, John.

[Brady]

It's all right because. Because now back down. Oh, scared to death of Eric. Eric's puffiness.

[Unknown]

Eric von O'Connell.

[Brady]

Yeah, Eric von Puffy.

[Eric]

Maybe I should get in the wwe.

[Brady]

Yeah, maybe you should get into Booba. You won't even need an outfit. Now, that's funny right there. It's 10:07 in the morning sickness. That'll do it for us. We're out of here. Stone Cold. Thank you very much. Steve Austin. From here on out, I guess, huh? He's dumping the Stone Cold.

[Stone Cold Steve Austin]

I guess.

[Brady]

Unless he's wrestling so good for him.

[Eric]

Steve Williams.

[Brady]

Will he be going with the original? Nah, Steve Austin.

[Unknown]

I'm going with McFreeze or whatever.

[Brady]

Icy McFreeze. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. There you go. What was the other? I like Baron Von Fries or whatever that was. That was hilarious. It's out of control now.
