Austin says he's healthy to wrestle

[Zamorakian]

During a recent interview conducted for ZooToday.com, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin had the following today concerning a possible return to the ring for one more match:

If the right situation, the right opponent and the right circumstances came up for the WWE, then it would certainly be something worth considering. Could I have another match or two? Yeah. Physically I am in really good shape right now.

People seem to think I am half-dead!... In my movies, I do some pretty hellacious fight scenes that, maybe, a normal person couldn’t do. So my physicality is fine, my neck is fine after having it all fused-up.

I am not pitching for another match but if it was a win-win situation for everybody, then absolutely, I would consider it.

Punk vs. Austin WM 29, expect it.

Um, you said you were retired, not us

Would rather him face Miz and let Punk further establish himself as a face. Austin back would be great though.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

OH HELL YES!!

Good, good news. I'm soo happy to hear this. Can't wait to hear the glass break and see Stone Cold open a can of whoop ass on Punk.

 

[Leo C]

Very, very nice. Just waiting to see the feud and match between him and Punk them ity:

I agree with you, but I wouldn't mind seeing The Miz vs The Rock feud for SummerSlam.

 

[Crayo]

Would rather Miz face Rock and Austin vs Punk as it's a dream match (Austin and Punk).

Yeah, I see where your coming from but since Brock's back everyone including myself wants to see Brock vs The Rock now.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Punk/Austin has to happen just because I don't think two gimmicks have ever matched up more perfectly for a feud.

 

[Crayo]

Eww no way. Sure it'd be entertaining but two mega stars should put over some fucking talent instead of facing each other, that helps no one apart from Vince's wallet.

Edit: That's why I want it too Dolph, the symbol of alcohol vs the straight edge saviour, it'd be so much win.

If you ran WWE you wouldn't do the same? Because I know I would. He's init for the money I don't blame him as everyone who runs a business is init for the money, obviously. I want to see The Rock vs Brock so do so many wrestling fans, so if I was Vince I'd do it as the fans would be happy and I'd be happy cause I'd be making big notes.

 

[seabs]

In an ideal world I'd like to see something like this for Mania 29 :

Miz Vs. Austin ( Miz gets cemented as a major heel by beating Steve)
Rock Vs. Ziggler ( These two have the same arrogance)
Jericho Vs. Ambrose
Punk Vs. Brock

I've never been a huge fan of the whole two biggest stars colliding rather I like to see everyone with a long term future be put over by these older guys. I can see why people are saying Punk Austin but Punk would have to edge over to being a heel which whilst entertaining could cause damage to his face persona, especially as he is longer the straight edge saviour.) That's why I've put him against Brock as he could stay face add a bit more aggression back into to beat the big bad monster.

Nope I wouldn't, you can have bigger buy rates with more awesome matches than just one, and a better product. Brock vs Rock will get good buys, but then what happens next year when they both leave?

I agree with them having to think about the future here, completely. I disagree that Punk has to go heel, I think he would probably get more boos but he won't get flat out boo's, even if he did he can just step back to the edgy face not a heel. I don't see why anyone would want him to stay as he is.

I'd have it as:

Rock vs Miz (Great chemistry, they have a past, promos would be fantastic)
Brock vs Cena (Simple, two massive faces of the company collide)
Punk vs Austin (Dream match)
WWE TItle match: Jericho vs Ziggler
Foley vs Ambrose

Boom.

Worst choice of matches, in the history of IWC threads related to this.

I would seriously film myself crying and upload it to Youtube if that's what we will get to see.

Ambrose, by the way, has not even debuted yet, why rush him against Jericho?

Punk vs. Brock - Wouldn't work, what the hell made you think that this match is worth watching compared to Austin/Punk?

Rock vs. Ziggler - No, just, just no. (Unless they let Ziggler go over)

Miz vs. Austin - Same thing with the Brock/Punk match, people have been talking about Miz/Rock and you come up with this one, the only match Austin would fit in between these superstars is him vs. Punk.

Punk was boo'd every week and Cena was the one getting cheered like hell, tell me how just suddenly it twisted around and Cena was the one getting boo'd? No damage no shit.

He is Straight Edge and that will be his gimmick for years to come, considering he has a "real-life" gimmick, so it doesn't really matter if he's a "saviour" or not, he's still Straight Edge and him vs. Austin would be a perfect combination and that'd definitely be better than Cena/Rock.

I'd have it as:

Rock vs Miz (Great chemistry, they have a past, promos would be fantastic)
Brock vs Cena (Simple, two massive faces of the company collide)

Nailed it right on the spot.

When they leave, you simply push the younger talent and with the money you made from WM 29, you use that to hire 2 old guys and WM 30 put over two younger talents say Ziggler and The Miz then as they currently have nothing do to, at the moment.

You can also make do with what you've got say Wade Barrett vs Triple H, who wouldn't want to see that? Imagine Wade's promo's. Him defeating Triple H would just add more greatness to his career.

Wade Barrett vs Triple H
Brock Lesnar vs The Rock: WWE Title Match
John Cena vs The Undertaker: Streak Match
CM Punk vs Stone Cold
Ziggler vs Mick Foley: Hell In a Cell

That's a match card without The Miz, Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan,etc. Imagine creating a match for example a 6 way for the World Heavyweight Championship added to that to fill in the missing stars, wouldn't that be good? It's just an idea.
