Former WWE Champion Stone Cold spoke about his relationship with Vince McMahon while speaking to Chris Jericho on Talk Is Jericho. Steve Austin revealed that Vince McMahon had tried to bring him out of retirement and wanted him to compete in a match. However, Austin declined the offer as he wanted to stay away from in-ring action.

''I think Vince [McMahon] tried talking me into coming back a couple of times. But you know Chris, I love the business so much – I can’t say I love it more than anybody else, I can only speak for myself. But I just love the damn business, and it hurt me so much to leave it. And to me, going back for one match, being like man, why? What am I proving? ''

The WWE Hall of Famer added that it wasn't about the money. He questioned that if he returned to the ring for just one more match, would the fans remember him for his career or just that match. Austin admitted that he had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that he had left the business and did not want to burst that bubble again.
