Stone Cold Steve Austin recently reviewed Wrestlemania 34 on his podcast: The Steve Austin Show. During the show, Austin shared his thoughts on The Undertaker squashing John Cena in under 3 minutes.
Here’s what he had to say (h/t to Wrestling INC):
“It was a little shocking to me with Cena calling him out for so long. Basically, it was an unadvertised match. I mean, Cena’s trying to call out [Undertaker] and I kept thinking, ‘there’s no way, no way that he’s going to get an acceptance on the day-of,’ so, yeah, it was teased and they paid off the tease, but it wasn’t really advertised. So nonetheless, the crowd felt like they got a bonus, but in that bonus was a very short match and Cena got squashed”
Austin continued, saying that he wished Cena got in a bit more offense:

“I’ve got nothing but respect for both guys, Undertaker has been around forever. He has had one of the best runs in the history of the [pro wrestling] business, so has John Cena. And, man, had it been a 15-minute, bing, bang, boom kind of thing, I don’t know that that’s what they needed, but it just seems like maybe if Cena got in just a little bit more offense into that Tombstone, then, do the favors, maybe it would have been a little bit more effective.
“It was what it was and I don’t know how Undertaker’s feeling on a physical level. He looked phenomenal and he’s one of the toughest guys, I think, in the business. But Cena’s probably moving on to do other things with movies, and series, and endorsements, and stuff like that. But he continues to be an ambassador for the company, and [has] a great attitude, and it not afraid to put somebody over. I respect him for that.”
