WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin has made an embarrassing admission – he once physically “crapped in his trunks” while wrestling.

The Texas Rattlesnake is one of the biggest names to ever set foot inside the squared-circle after shooting to worldwide fame in the late 90s.

He recently returned to WWE last month for a special Raw Reunion show, guzzling down beer with fellow icons from yesteryear on a memorable night in Tampa, Florida.

Austin was THE star of the famous Attitude Era, but the 54-year-old has revealed that even in his heyday he still suffered s****y nights.

The Hall of Famer recently appeared as a guest on First We Feast for an episode of Hot Ones.

And when quizzed on whether the urban myth that he pooped himself during a match against former WWE champ Yokozuna in South Africa was true, Austin revealed all.

He said: “(I) had to. A lot of times when you are doing international travel and there is a dietary change, things happen. And man, Yok, he was six hundred pounds at the time.

“When he picked me up and slammed me, things happened. Something went south. And luckily I was wearing black trunks.

“And Yoko was so cool. He’s no longer with us. God rest his soul.

“I was laying there on the mat and I just crapped my trunks. I looked at him and said, ‘Yok, let’s go home’. Go home is wrestle-speak for let’s do the finish and get out of here.

“And he’s so cool, he goes, ‘Okay, brah’. And we did the finish. I got beat and walked to the back and took a hell of a shower.”

Hilariously the poop talk continued as Austin undertook a hot wing challenge.

And as he tried the third one, he said: “I don’t want level three to be the one that makes me have a Yokozuna moment here on your show.

“This is the season finale, but what a finish it would be!

“We got Stone Cold out here and he s*** himself.”

Austin impressed in the challenge, not struggling at all until it came to tasting the final one which had a rating of over 2,000,000 on the Scoville heat scale.
