Steve Austin comments on Hunter - Raw Magazine - February 2003

And the other one - Triple H's constant references to me taking my ball and going home. "You want me to pull an Austin?" or whatever. Here's a guy who needs to stop worrying about me - I'm not even with the company right now. He needs to worry about his own character and drawing big money for the company. "Oh, but the business is in a down cycle." That's very convenient. In my view he's not where he should be with the amount of TV time invested in him. So don't worry about Stone Cold because somewhere along the line, in the transition from being a greenwich snob to being the toughest guy ever to walk in the ring who walks down the ramp all jacked up spewing water, I missed it. And you know what? When I look back at old films from when I was gone in 2000, that was the year Triple H stepped up huge. That was the year Triple H carried the entire company. That's the year Triple H was a hell of a hand. So knock off 25 pounds and go back to doing that and being one of the best. It's f****** simple.
