00:06 The night before Stone Cold Steve Austin was set to have what would be his final match for a very long time
00:12 at WrestleMania 19 in Seattle, Washington, he was dealing with a really serious physical problem.
00:17 He was nearly not clear to compete. Why?
00:19 Austin revealed on the A&E documentary that he experienced the entire night before the big match
00:25 in a hospital with a scary heart issue.
00:28 He even shared that he didn't feel like he was physically at his best on March 30th, 2003,
00:33 but that match between him and The Rock may be the best of their three WrestleMania matches.
00:38 He said he complained about discomfort and twitchiness within his reflexes.
00:42 Austin was already dealing with a lot of collective issues in his body that were already at this point
00:47 forcing him to get out of the ring.
00:48 He revealed that his heart was beating at an unnormal rate.
00:52 Thankfully, it wasn't a serious heart problem.
00:54 It is believed that maybe excessive alcohol and caffeine intake at the same time may have caused it.
