Stone Cold Steve Austin worked with various wrestling promotions prior to joining WWE. He did several gimmicks in companies like USWA, WCW, and ECW, where he had memorable moments before WWE and turning into Austin 3:16 a year later.

Austin wrestled many of his future WWE colleagues while he was on the road in the early 90s. One of those wrestlers is WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, who recently appeared on the Broken Skull Sessions.

Dutch Mantell shares insight about Stone Cold Steve Austin and Jeff Jarrett’s real-life rivalry

‘Dirty’ Dutch Mantell, known as Zeb Colter to WWE fans, recently appeared on Wrestling Shoot Interviews. He knows Stone Cold Steve Austin and Jeff Jarrett for a long time and gave an insight into what made Austin hate Jarret for decades.

Mantell said, “Heavily downplayed. Austin wanted to kill him because nobody was making any money and if Austin said he wasn’t making any money and Jeff walked by. Jeff didn’t mean anything by it, but he (Austin) took it wrong.” 

He added, “Steve has a long memory and he never forgot that. When they got to WWE, F in those days he didn’t forget it then the reason that he turned downed working with Jeff is because Austin and this is a shoot. Austin didn’t think he was worthy of having to wrestle Jeff, because he thought it actually hurt him.”

Mantell also stated that they actually had a rivalry in real life for a long time since they wrestled at USWA in the early 90s. However, he thinks somewhere down the road both the WWE Hall of Famers buried the hatchet with each other.
