Stone Cold Might Be The 🐐

There were rumours yesterday that someone close thinks he’s got the wrestling bug again.

Not particularly surprised, it was clear to he did when he joined AEW and even on his way out at All Out it was clear he was passionate about it still, hence why he blew like that. His whole point was that many of the minds backstage weren’t being used and that the whole company wasn’t being run properly.

He still has something to give to the business. He’s got a bunch of friends in WWE and I reckon many of the people he hit it off in AEW won’t stay there for long.

Shouldn’t have removed the spoilers. @DavidHillier is trying his hardest to avoid running into them. :rofl:

Also, not particularly hard to keep track of what’s going on. Do you think I’m unreasonable with my criticism about Cabana and Jarrett not being worthy of hyping up a show?

AEW is going into a PPV and for the first time in a while there isn’t a single interesting storyline going. At least in the past there was a story or two that were good and kinda carried the whole thing.

As someone who used to subscribe to AEW+ via FITE I had to cancel it as it isn’t worth it anymore. Hell, I even earned credit out of buying previous PPVs that now are in the bin because they expire soon and my choices are shit.

Yep. Surprised we haven’t seen KSI in yet.

Feels inevitable they’ll cross paths in WWE.

Paul Bros v Olatunji bros in a tag match at some point?

How did I not know Logan Paul was in the WWE lmao, life just gets more ridiculous :joy::joy:

KSI to whip his ass for the title when they fall out over prime

And he’s actually pretty good at it for a rookie too. :rofl:

He’s actually fighting for the World Title next.

fucking hope not lol. Logan Paul is enough

How much impact do you think they have commercially for WWE?

They’ll get eyes on the product for sure. But I thought we left the whole ā€œPutting newcomers ahead of actual wrestlers who have deserved pushesā€ in the past when Vince retired. I’ll give Logan Paul a pass because he actually cares about the business and Vince did bring him in. The Olatunji brothers can fuck off though don’t wanna see them anywhere near the WWE. They can skip to their shitty YouTube boxing no one cares about.

The match with Owens was really well done. KO bumped like crazy making Austin look a million bucks, but Austin was far better than anyone could have reasonably expected too.

It was a lot of fun and a highlight of this year’s Mania. I’d have no worries about him doing another one.

The reality is he’s the biggest draw in the history of the sport so if you put him at a major PPV he’s going to sell seats and drive up views. That’s just how great he is.

I’d rather he stayed retired but whenever Austin comes back my eyes are glued. He’s got an entire generation of wrestling fans who’d still pay to see him

Wonder what matches are they’re considering. Is he willing to put someone over?
Austin v Cena, Austin v Lesnar and Austin v Reigns can be big money matches.

Punk vs Austin. Book it!!!

The match that should have happened in 2012ish times.

That’s what IWC are dream booking but I can’t see it.
Although, considering what we saw from Punk and MJF, a Punk v Austin feud with Heyman being involved creatively could be another all-timer.

That promo battle is gonna be must see.

I think it’s gonna be Austin v Lesnar myself, if it happens. And if Austin is open to more then we’ll see Austin v Reigns.

Nah no chance they’ll put him with Lesnar lol. Austin has wayyyy too much on the line in terms of health to step in the ring with Lesnar.

That’s the only concern really but I can see Lesnar taking care of Austin. They seem to have a good relationship nowadays.

Just a quick under 10 minutes match should do, like with Goldberg v Lesnar.

I don’t even think the styles mesh well.

I’d rather see Austin vs. Punk or Austin vs. Another high quality worker who can carry him

From what I’ve read and heard Lesnar has a reputation for being one of the safest in the business. The guy is a freak in terms of his quality in the ring, I can’t imagine an opponent that Austin would be in better hands with from a health perspective to be honest and when Lesnar was on Austin’s show on the Network he talked about Stone Cold being the one guy he wanted to work with and hadn’t had the chance to.

He would have to stay away from the German suplexes though :joy:
