By Nick Paglino

stone austinWWE Hall of Fame Steve Austin was recently interviewed by Chris Hughes of Brighthouse Sports Network, to hype the premiere of his new Broken Skull Challenge show, and the following is what Austin had to say regarding scripted promos in WWE:

"I disagree with (scripting). I think the nature of a promo has to come from your heart and your guts and you have to mean everything that you're saying. Now is the perfect time to go back to that formula.

You learn to sink or swim. And guys and gals will start to learn to swim again. That's what's going to make the product feel more organic, more spontaneous and more real."
