Steve Austin to retire at Wrestlemania 25?

[chessarmy]

Reports are indicating that WWE has begun to discuss the idea of Steve Austin wrestling one more big match at Wrestlemania next year in Houston, TX. If plans for the match go through, WWE would be inducting Austin into the Hall of Fame the night before the match. Of course, as of this point nothing is confirmed.

Austin has said that he will only agree to a final match if the planning is to his liking, meaning there would likely be a long creative negotiation process and lots of news leaking to the 'net ahead of time.

I would love to see it, but isn't Austin in terrible shape? I mean, his knees are all messed up and I don't know if he can wrestle a half decent match anymore. It would be great to see, but I'm not sure it will happen.

In any event, we could see two big retirements this year. The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, and Stone Cold

Well same with Flair. He was out of shape considering his age and injueries he's gotten over his career. Austin vs. HBK at WM 25 in their last match ever. :shifty:

I hope its HBK.... would be great two texans in texas to fight old style.. I want to see that. But I remember I saw an interview with him on u - tube talking about it but i don't remember what it was called Ill link it when I find it but he said and quote -

Austin "I am thinking about the final match for stone cold steve austin, he never got a real send off match leaving / walking out in 2002 during Raw. And this wrestlemania 25 is in Texas and I really want to do it there....me and vince are talking and all we decided was that this match wont just be a wrestlemania match we want this to be match of the night "

I've been calling this shit since Mania 24. HBK/Austin or Taker/Austin...we might even see HHH/Austin or Cena/Austin. Hell, we might even get the end of the greatest fued in wrestling history, McMahon/Austin. I heard before that HBK isn't considering retirement in the near future so HBK retiring at Mania 25 is out of the question. But I'm 100% sure that Austin will wrestle at Mania 25.

 

[McLovin]

I know it would proably be horrible but Stone Cold vs. Vince McMahon for old times sake.

 

[humankiller99]

thats what I want.. SCSA v Vinny Mac for the final time. and let Austin go over.

Taker/Austin would be ok but I doubt they will let Austin end taker's streak like that..

HBK/Austin would be good

sorry UK talk lol, with him being from texas and maybe having his last match in texas is what i meant

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Fuck all that, screw Austin and his nostalgia, last time WWE heard him and didn't go with the match they wanted, they ended up booking Austin vs Scott Hall.

Go with the big drawing match, the match that will give you buys like crazy:

Cena vs Austin...(because let's face it, this will be the closes to Hogan vs Austin we'll get)

 

[Evil Austin]

you know I have been thinking maybe an Edge Austni or an Orton Ausin or a Punk Austin some of those could work ?

 

[Moonlight Drive]

HBK VS Austin would be incredible. They cannot go past that opportunity if HBK can stay fit

Or maybe Vince VS Stone Cold as others have said. It may suck, but c'mon. It's Austin and Vince


But!! Imagine this...I know it's near impossible but, they can convince Rock to come back for whatever amount, probably like 50 million then we see

The Rock VS Stone Cold Steve Austin!

You sound like an illiterate extra from The Bill! LOL

The literate amongst us UK types would have at least typed:


"stone colds final match at WM on his own patch....... "





He needs a proper send off, but watching Austin in the ring could be damn painful. Lets hope that he saved a little something cos to see him hobbling around all but being CARRIED by VKM (for example) would be a really sorry sight!



One idea for him (which i'll admit isn't immediately compatable with a WM nor retirement angle), but they could have him do a Flair '92 and have him, against all odds, win a championship Rumble... To me, his dominance of the RR was a big part of SCSA.

 

[CenaMark54]

Austin vs Orton would be my pick. With Orton going over of course.
