Steve Austin has praised Chelsea Green.
The former Women's US Champion has received a lot of support in the industry since the Unreal controversy. Veteran producer Michael Hayes had suggested during an episode of the show that her role in the company was to elevate main event talents but not to be one herself. While Hayes has since apologized to the female star for his remarks, the support for her continues.
The Texas Rattlesnake joined this list during his recent interview with SI. Praising Chelsea Green's ability in his own unique way, Stone Cold Steve Austin said that the former champion is pretty fearless:
You’re an idiot when you first join the business. You just are, unless you’re Shawn Michaels and you kind of get it from day one. When you’re starving and you’re making $15 and $20 a night, you realize that you better get good pretty quick and learn how to reach people on an emotional level,
So you can start making some money. I think that Chelsea Green does that a lot of time. She’s pretty fearless out there. On a creative note, she’ll go for it, and it’s done well for her.
Chelsea Green has been out of action the last few weeks, after suffering a broken ankle in a triple threat match on the February 6 SmackDown. There is no word on how long she will stay on the shelf.
During the interview, Steve Austin also talked about the neck injury of Kevin Owens and revealed what working with Vince McMahon was really like. You can check out his comments here.
