In a recent interview, Austin got questioned if he ever kicked anyone in the b*lls before delivering his finisher. He replied, “There’s many times that I couldn’t get that kick up high enough. Uh! to the waistline, especially depending on how heavy I was in the ring and if I was wearing jeans or shorts or not, which decreased my range of motion.”
“But I kicked Vince in the b*lls on a damn nightly occasion. I got to give that guy credit. He’s got to be one of the toughest human beings in the world because I kicked him so many times and he never, ever once complained. I know I rang his a** up plenty of times, so yep, it frequently happened and that’s the way it was.”
“And, if anybody ever said something, I always apologize because it was never ever done intensely. Sometimes I wasn’t the most graceful cat in the ring to work with.”
