And yes, that was the iconic line in The Longest Yard with Adam Sandler.

Steve Austin is so iconic that no one can touch him, well, except the one time WWE actually touched him.

In 1997, my birth year and I didn't watch wrestling at the time, Owen Hart lifted Austin for the Inverted Piledriver but instead of lifting Austin above the crotch area, Hart hanged the Rattlesnake very below, sat down fast, and the neck buckled.

Steve Austin couldn't move but after a minute, he rolled up Hart for the win before getting immediate medical help.

At 39 years old, the biggest star in Professional Wrestling retires, thanks to the seizures he had from his neck problems.

Will Austin come back for one more match? All depends if his neck doesn't give him any problems and in his own words, "If I were to come back for one more match even if my neck won't bother me, in theory: yeah."

Fingers crossed.
