WWE sources optimistic on CM Punk vs. Stone Cold

SO if they offer this one to him now...he'd have about 4 months of prep time.

Might not be enough time so might have to do it next year, but Austin said this in 2013. Not sure if he needs that time now.

For Mania 28/29 he was probably imagining a legit match match and not the workaround they did with KO. He can probably do that with Punk in 4.

 

[Professor Booty]

I don’t think it happens tbh
Austin said he that was his final match cuz he wanted to go out on his terms
Punk ain’t gonna bump for him like KO did
Punk ain’t the spring chicken he was and got hurt twice in under a year at AEW

And Austin would have to win

 

[Loochblade]

It better not happen, because if they'd do it, they'd do it at Mania and there it would be one of the most prolific matches of the weekend... which completely fucks, imo, with the whole idea of this being the very first Mania without Vince (apparently) being involved, which should be all about finally ringing in an actual new era.

People pissed on WWE so often over the last 10 years for relying on the past or on nostalgia too much (and rightfully so), so it's funny to me that way too many people would want this to go down. ...not even to mention, what has already been mentioned before, that Austin had the perfect final Match with Owens.

people are excited for this shit?

 

[Cwalker]

Idk if excited is the correct word…

I just know it would draw money

 

[Jimmy King]

I’d be excited to see it just for the promos alone.

Jimmy has his priorities right.

Dale and I are on the same page. It’s not that the stuff with KO was bad, it’s just that it can be better.

My other point was just I don’t personally want KO to be Austin’s final opponent. Again, the program was fine, but it wasn’t a dream to see it like the Punk match is for me.

I mean not that I don’t wanna see Punk and Austin cause I really fucking do but KO was as good a choice as anyone to be Austin’s last opponent.

 

[Nostradamus]

This is my #1 dream match, other than those with deceased wrestlers. I might literally explode if this were to happen.

Agree to disagree, but at least we agree on the first part.

And that's the exact point. It doesn't matter if it's Vince in charge or HHH, big money matches are big money matches. The same reason HHH would still do Rock/Roman if they could get it over the line.

 

[John McHenry]

As everyone has said Austin needs to show up in person. I think best case scenario Heel Punk vs Face Austin. Punk wins. N2 KO takes on punk to avenge Austin whens over Punk.

 

[R-Troop]

Boy you must be outside your damn mind if you think STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN would come back to wrestle a match and lose. At WRESTLEMANIA.

 

[Shane]

All I know is when that glass breaks the crowd is gonna shit themselves. And then I’m gonna shit myself. I’ll be a little unhappy cause my ass and legs will be full of shit but it won’t matter cause STONE COLD
