A documentary that focuses on WWE star Stone Cold Steve Austin is on the way from the producers of ESPN’s The Last Dance.
Former WWE announcer Lillian Garcia revealed the news during an interview on The Chris Van Vliet Show, where she said she would be a part of the new film.
“WWE contacted me and they said the producers from The Last Dance are going to reach out to you,” Garcia told host Chris Van Vleit. “They want you in their documentary. It’s crazy because when I got the message I was literally just watching The Last Dance documentary.”
She continued: “I said, ‘Jake I’m literally watching your documentary right now, this is amazing.’ I come to find out that they want to do a documentary for Stone Cold Steve Austin and it’s coming out next year.”
A release date for the documentary is yet to be determined.
Stone Cold Steve Austin (real name Steven Williams) made his wrestling debut in 1989. He joined the WWE (then WWF) in 1995 and went on to earn fans all over the world as the rule-breaking Texas redneck.
He retired in 2003 due to neck injuries, but has continued to make appearances in WWE and has become a successful film and TV star, as well as podcast host.
ESPN’s The Last Dance, which aired on Netflix in the UK, is the 10-part series that chronicled the life and career of Michael Jordan and NBA basketball team the Chicago Bulls.
