The piledriver spot was planned, but Austin wanted to do it as a kneeling piledriver rather than a sitout one

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Saying it was safer

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah, Owen just fucked up.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

(He'd know, having injured Chono with a sitout piledriver before)

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I love Owen but it was his fault in this instance.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

He let Austin overrule him because "obviously veterans know best"

 

[Sabretooth]

Austin said in an interview he would have retired in 2007 but who knows if that would’ve been the case if he had been wrestling all along

 

[Death By Looch]

Well... who knows if a different injury would've taking him out then

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Considering how his 2002 went, that's probably true.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

The worst part was, Owen made a point of never apologising or even mentioning the fact that he'd badly hurt Austin for the rest of his life

 

[Death By Looch]

We'll never know, until time travel is possible

 

[Sabretooth]

But with Austin it’s kind of symbolic he retired so soon cause he had one of the most iconic runs of all time and then left on top. He was the face of the Attitude Era and then peaced out.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Here's a real what-if for you. Uninjured Austin who can still go decently well, still bails on the company after (rightly) pointing out that him putting over the next big thing in Lesnar should not be on a random Raw with no build

 

[Sabretooth]

And yeah Austin was already mad that in 2002 WWE weren't treating him like a top star anymore. I know he technically returned before retiring but still

Could you imagine him signing with TNA? Actually scratch that because Austin fucking hates Jeff Jarrett.
