The WWE Hall of Famer has been channeling his competitive nature into his Broken Skull Racing team. On the wrestling side, his last match, coming out of a retirement, was a No Holds Barred match against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. For now, Steve Austin is focused on driving in the desert, though.

The story behind Stone Cold Steve Austin’s iconic theme song

WWE composer Jim Johnston was on the False Face podcast when he reflected back on ‘I Won’t Do What You Tell Me’. He reveals that the process began even before he had met Steve Austin. As the glass shatters sound was being made for a payoff on his vignettes.

“I’m not sure that ever happened. The creation of that theme happened way before I ever met Steve, because it started with his promos. There were a series of promos when they transitioned him from Ringmaster, and these two producers, friends of mine, David Sahadi and Chris Chambers, who did some unbelievably creative stuff. They had this idea for a series of things that they shot up in this really beat-up, dark, destroyed warehouse in upstate Connecticut, and they were almost poetic. I remember one final line was Steve saying something like, ‘You want forgiveness? Go to church.’ […] Maybe he came to me later, either directly or indirectly, and said, ‘This is the energy I want.’ But so maybe he didn’t like the first version or something,” said Jim Johnston.

Jim almost ended talks about Steve coming up with the Evil Empire album and wanting to do something like that to his theme. Austin did suggest some changes in the first version Johnston made, and later on, updates to the output we received became iconic.
