Steve Austin Needs Surgery on his Left Knee ‘Pretty Quick’
WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin says he needs a “new left knee” in the near future.
Austin revealed the news on the Bobbycast podcast and explained his knee troubles began during his college football days at North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas).
He tore his ACL during his junior year, while covering a kickoff. He described it as a “mop-end tear,” where the ligament tears in the middle with frayed edges.
“I need a new left knee here pretty quick.”
At the time, doctor opted not to repair the ACL, relying on the strength of his surrounding muscles instead. These early injuries set the stage for persistent knee issues throughout his wrestling career.
Over the years, Austin has had multiple surgeries, including the replacement of his ACL and PCL using cadaver ligaments.
