The real reason Stone Cold Steve Austin never became a Hollywood hit like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena

Steve Austin was the heart of the WWE Universe during the Attitude Era. Not only did he impress the WWE Universe with his in-ring skills, but he always kept the crowd engaged with his impressive promos and segments. Mostly, his fights and segments with WWE President Vince McMahon.

However, when it came to impressing audiences in theaters, Steve Austin wasn’t all that impressive. Austin has starred in movies, but his Hollywood career didn’t have as much of an impact as we had expected.

Recently, while answering questions from fans about the latest episode of Grilling Jr, Jim Ross opened up about Steve Austin’s film career and compared it to the film careers of The Rock and John Cena.

The former WWE Superstar has also starred in films like Damage, The Stranger, Recoil, Maximum Conviction and a few more. But he never really succeeded like The Rock and John Cena did in their Hollywood careers.

Jim Ross reveals what Steve Austin had to go through while filming his films

The former WWE commentator has expressed his thoughts on why Steve Austin failed to be as successful as The Rock and John Cena in his Hollywood career. Well if you compare the three ring superstars they have all been very influential in their careers. But that was not the case in theaters.

During the episode he said (h / t: PWMania), “It was Steve’s choice. He didn’t like doing them. He’s a reality TV guy. He’s a guy who likes to do production in weeks rather than months.

“So the structure on a movie set, hurry up and wait, we’re not shooting today, we’re going to change this, we’re going to do that, that wasn’t his cup of tea.” Ross added.

Jim Ross claimed Austin tried but didn’t have a lot of motivation. Although he had a few good shots and opportunities, he didn’t appreciate it.
