WWE trying to get Steve Austin to appear at WrestleMania XXX

[Fuji Vice]

WWE has reportedly pitched a storyline to Steve Austin to appear at WrestleMania 30. The company is planning on making a big push for Hulk Hogan and legends merchandise based on a "big four" of Hogan, Austin, Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior and wants all four at the show.


Austin has previously said he'll only show if he has a good reason to be there; the plan is reportedly for a non-wrestling role. No word on if a deal has been reached.

Not a shock that they want to go all out for 'Mania this year and Austin would certainly help them achieve that. Any thoughts as to what he'd be doing if he does agree to go? Obviously he won't be in an actual match but it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for him to be a special enforcer in a match would it? Alternatively, he could just appear at the top of the stage and it would be enough for most people, but I don't think he'd care to for something that minimal, unless the sum offered was way too much to turn down.

No shock here. The bigger the names the bigger the show. Not sure why they wouldn't have Flair in the 4 legends thing.

Simple. He's not one of "their" legends. Sure he's a legend and sure he wrestled for WWE, but the other 4 are guys that reached the height of their popularity in the company. Flair's was definitely in NWA/WCW.

Also, they probably don't want to take the chance that he shows up drunk. :

That's true but I think and add to that group with him would increase interest

With WWE owning the rights to WCW, Flair not being there would be a serious mistake, in my opinion. Plus they would be remiss not to include Bret Hart and The Rock.

Hope his turns out to be true. I'm totally fine with Hogan appearing at WMXXX, so why not Austin?

I think he should be guest referee or something.

Yeah I cant really imagine Steve Austin wrestling again tbh. I'll be happy if he shows up anyway, in a non wrestling role

I think I heard something from his podcast about being with JR at the HoF ceremony, but this is obviously cooler than that.
