Steve Austin recently chatted with The Miami Herald.

He talked about his new DVD, being offered a spot at WrestleMania 24, the "Stone Cold" Shark Boy gimmick in TNA, Mr. Kennedy and more. Here are some highlights:

On his new WWE DVD release:
"There are five or six of me on DVD already which covers a lot, but this one fills the gaps. It could have had some music, and there should have been more extras on it, but I'm happy with it."

On being offered a spot at WrestleMania 24 this year:
"There was a pitch thrown at me for WrestleMania [24 in Orlando], but I turned it down. I'd like to go to the Hall of Fame and see the guys get inducted. They got enough talent in WWE that they don't need me for WrestleMania, and it's not my desire to go back into the ring. If I really needed the money, I'd go back in the ring, but I've been conservative with my money and invested wisely. I have fond memories of the business, and I love the business, but I don't miss it."

On the "Stone Cold" Shark Boy gimmick in TNA Wrestling:
"I've heard about it. It doesn't anger me. If a guy is able to make a living on a rip-off, a spoof, making fun of me, whatever. I'm still with WWE. More power to him."

On Mr. Kennedy and his role in WWE:
"I saw back in the day, Ken Kennedy vs. Batista on TV. Batista is a good, big man, but he can be ornery and off at times. They had a really good match. I called Ken up out of the blue and said that was a heck of a match. We started being friends. He was a big fan of Stone Cold. He would call me and present me with ideas and questions. I give him my thoughts. I think there are too many voices, too many people in his head right now with WWE [too many chefs stirring the pot]. He's gonna be a big star. They just need to let him alone and let him do his thing."
