Sting interfered in the main event and got into a physical altercation with Triple H before putting Dolph Ziggler on top of Seth Rollins to assure Team Cena defeated Team Authority at the Survivor Series on Nov. 23 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Austin spoke to Rolling Stone Magazine and touched on Sting's much anticipated WWE debut.

Sting vs. Undertaker Scrapped In Favor Of Steve Borden vs. Triple H

"I saw him at the WWE 2K15 panel that I hosted and I was excited to see him there because I'm a big fan," the WWE Hall of Famer told the publication. "He's had a hellacious run. Some people didn't consider him to be Hall of Fame worthy because of the fact that he'd never been in WWE before. To me it's a no-brainer. When I came to WCW he had been there for several years and was the top guy, so to finally see him come in, dressed in the black and white, I was blown away."

Austin also said he loved the stare down with Sting and Triple H during the main event at the Survivor Series.

"The face-to-face with him and Triple H, they just let it build and build," Austin said. "Triple H tried to sell the big right hand, block, there's the kick and the damage is done, then he hits his finish. I loved it. I'm a fan of good stuff inside the squared circle and it was a good story. The Authority had really built how they needed to win that night in a really long-winded promo by Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. They were setting the table for Sting. All of the guys in that match worked their a--es off, and I really enjoyed the work between Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler as they went into the finish."

Austin, who also said he was impressed with the production of NXT, was asked if he thought anyone on the current WWE roster reminds him of himself.

"No, not really, just because I think they're running a pretty tight program and no one has been willing to go out on a limb," he said. "They're walking on eggshells a little bit as far as how aggressive they can be. They have a roster that's full of talent, no doubt, but it's about guys getting enough time in the ring, going through the maturation process, learning the system, becoming very mechanically proficient and learning more and more about their character. That will allow them to go out on a limb."

He added: "When I came to WWE back in the day I'd been working seven-and-a-half years and I was very frustrated. I started getting some momentum and my work was very vicious and it was very believable. Once I came up with the 'Stone Cold' thing it was like a snowball rolling down a hill; it just kept getting larger and larger, and I wasn't afraid to push the envelope. It's not about the four-letter words; it's about taking the ball and making things happen with it. We'll see as the future unfolds who that guy is and what his approach will be."
