"Stone Cold was the bad guy" - IMPACT Wrestling star on his first wrestling memory (Exclusive)
The host of IMPACT Wrestling's Pehlwani Patakha show, Paul Virk, recently spoke about his first memories of wrestling.
He recalled an iconic match featuring undoubtedly two of the biggest names in wrestling, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. The two legends competed against each other thrice at WrestleMania, with Austin winning twice while The Rock claimed victory in their final clash.
Speaking to Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, the 25-year-old star narrated how he came across wrestling in his younger days.
"I was four or five years old, I don't really remember. The first match was WrestleMania 19, Stone Cold versus The Rock, and I thought Stone Cold was the bad guy and The Rock was the good guy even though there was, you know, a switch after that. I had no idea it was wrestling. I had no idea what this thing was but I was hooked. They had me," Paul Virk said. (06:32 -06:52)
