Austin repeats previous comments that he'd wrestle Punk

Reported by Ernest Aguilar

In an interview with British tabloid newspaper The Sun, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin repeated his previous comments that if he were to wrestle one more time, CM Punk would be the guy he would want to face.

"I hear the stories and if the stars aligned and all things worked out to benefit us all - the WWE, myself and Punk - I'd say that he is the guy I'd pick to face," Austin said.

He added that he looks up to Punk for what he's doing now just like Punk looks up to him for what he did in the ring when he was on top of his career and called it a case of mutual respect.

"I'm sure I could get another match out of this carcass of mine," the Rattlesnake concluded.

Stone Cold also talked briefly about Tough Enough, saying it's 95% guaranteed for the second series and said that he was involved in the process more than he expected and really enjoyed that.
