Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared on night two of WrestleMania 41 to announce the attendance. However, as he drove to the ring, Austin’s ATV crashed into a ringside barricade, and the video clip of the incident quickly went viral on social media.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Steve Austin discussed the incident.
"Different throttle setup than what I’m used to. Long story short, just a different throttle system. I’m pretty dang handy on a four-wheeler…
I was embarrassed by it. I think everybody is okay. You go out there on the biggest night in wrestling, and you end up like that; it’s not the greatest day at the office. You go out there and want to give people the best show that you can, and when you fall short of that, it’s not great."
