In interviews since his career though, Johnson has been vocally critical of Austin, claiming that the Rattlesnake was racist to him backstage.

In one interview, Johnson recalled finding a racist slur being written into his rental-car, and though he did not see who it was, Johnson believes that it was Austin who etched in the hateful world.

Of course, without proof, it's hard to say if this report by Johnson is true, though if it is, the fallout would be greatly damaging to the Rattlesnake's legacy in WWE.
