WWE Legend Thinks UFC Is Missing This Critical Thing That Stars Like Stone Cold Steve Austin Bring to WWE

The wrestling world still hasn’t stopped talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin appearing at the Most Stupendous WrestleMania 38. After 19 years, Stone Cold Steve Austin got in his wrestling gear and stepped inside the ring to humble Kevin Owens.

Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Owens on the first night of WrestleMania 38. It was an incredibly joyous experience for the fans when The Texas Rattlesnake gave a “Stone Cold Stunner” to the Canadian wrestler.

WWE pulled the most prominent weapon out of their arsenal at the Grandest Stage of them All. When the glass shattered, the WWE Universe flipped out of their chair in Dallas, Texas.

Can UFC pull a crowd as WWE did with Stone Cold Steve Austin?

Now, even the WWE Hall of Famer Booker T couldn’t stop singing praises of The Texas Rattlesnake. During the latest episode of ‘the Hall of Fame,’ podcast Booker T revealed that Stone Cold’s appearance at WrestleMania 38 was the biggest attraction for the company.

However, when Booker T compared the same with the UFC, he imagined that combat sports should also use the same strategy.

“Star power. That’s what I was talking about; I think names pretty much sail the show. Taking nothing away from our young guys that went out there did their work. But they [WWE] have Stone Cold Steve Austin’s name on the marquee.

“You can’t tell me some people didn’t say, ‘What the h**l, Stone Cold Steve Austin! I got to check this out.’ So that’s what I am talking about for Star Power, and I think UFC is definitely lacking in star power,” Booker T said.

According to Booker T, UFC needs to level up their game by calling out UFC legends back. Booker also stated that WrestleMania 38 did so well because it had Stone Cold on the match card.

In addition, Booker T imagines that star power is the real reason why UFC is lacking behind in pulling the crowd.

Who would Booker T like to see again in the UFC?

WWE Hall of Famer clearly stated that Alexander Volkanovski and The Korean Zombie did not have that unique “Star Power” to attract the crowd. Recently, at UFC 273, Alexander Volkanovski fought with The Korean Zombie.

But, according to Booker T, even though Alexander Volkanovski won the fight, their battle had little attraction. So, the WWE Hall of Famer reflected on why the UFC could not attract the audience compared to the WWE.

However, Booker T believes in these two UFC fighters as they put on a great fight at UFC 273. The six-time World Champion would love to watch UFC legends back in the octagon cage.

Booker T added, “For instance, Hollywood ain’t going to come out for Volkanovski versus The Korean Zombie. As far as getting stars to be a part of [UFC], it’s got to be Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz. Bring them back; that’s whom we might want to go to see.”

WWE Hall of Famer only expects that if UFC could bring out legends back in the game. Just like the WWE did with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Finally, Booker T even said how he would love to watch Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz someday at the UFC again.

What do you think? Does UFC need to adopt the same strategy as the WWE?
