Becky Lynch's rise up the ranks in WWE since SummerSlam last year has been quite something and an argument could now be made that she's the company's hottest star.
Everything about her is also reminiscent of one Stone Cold Steve Austin and the similarities between their two characters are clear to see. Now, the WWE Hall of Famer has shared his thoughts on that and it sounds like he's definitely a fan of what the Irish Lass Kicker is bringing to the table.
"Well, I guess she is if everybody is saying she is," he said on a recent episode of MMA Tonight when asked about her being the new Stone Cold. "She does remind me a lot of myself."
Austin continued by pointing out that, like himself, she's not someone people would necessarily guess could become a huge star but he's impressed by the impact she's been able to make.
"She’s not a person whose dwelling on this being the most athletic match in the world. She’s a great worker in the ring, but it’s character driven." As for the way she's handled "The Man" gimmick, he added: "Obviously, she’s a female, it’s an awesome gimmick and it’s money."
