From finishing a match with a broken neck to wrestling through all kinds of injuries, Austin is no stranger to pushing through pain. And that's what makes his Wrestlemania 32 appearance all the better.

Via the WWE legend's podcast, per Uproxx:

"After I'd already committed to Vince to be there, I tore my rotator cuff on my right shoulder. I tore the hell out of it. It hurt like a b*tch...I can barely drink beer. This is my beer drinking arm! That's what I was most upset about.

[After the match] we had to start throwing punches. I threw that first punch at Rusev...and I hit him in the mouth or the nose, and he's in the corner and he's bleeding and I feel so bad for him because I really like Rusev...When I threw that first punch, I ripped everything in my shoulder. And I'm like, 'Jesus Christ, you can't stop throwing now.'...so we call for the beer and my shoulder is about to fall off!"

A torn rotator cuff didn't stop Stone Cold from dropping Rusev:

And it sure as heck didn't keep him from catching and drinking a few brews with his fellow retired stars.
