A “Stone Cold” Steve Austin documentary is in development. Producers from the Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance have started working on the Austin documentary, which is set to be released later this year.
“We are thrilled for the tremendous opportunity to partner with WWE Studios to produce these special films that honor some of the most impactful personalities who have left a lasting imprint on pop culture,” Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming, A&E Network, said.
Austin is arguably the most influential star in WWE history. He was the face of WWE’s Attitude Era in the late 1990s, winning the WWE Championship six times. He’s also a three-time Royal Rumble winner and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009.
Austin was forced to retire from in-ring action in 2003 due to multiple knee injuries and a serious neck injury. Since retiring from wrestling, Austin has been involved in various projects, including movies as he starred in The Longest Yard, The Expendables and Grown Ups 2.
