- WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin recently mentioned that he was training for a comeback. In a recent Steve Austin Show podcast with former wrestler and bodybuilder Ric Drason, Austin said:

"I'm trying to get back into shape for a comeback."

Austin casually made the comment and didn't go into any further detail.

In other Stone Cold news, Austin noted this past week that he wrapped season 4 of CMT's Redneck Island. Filming was done in Hartwell, Georgia.

Hopefully not. WWE should be focusing on developing their current talent instead of bringing back legends for a quick fix. Start pushing Ambrose, Bray Wyatt and Sandow.

Wouldn't make sense Austin randomly returning.

Also there's people comparing Rollins with prime Triple H, HBK and Ric Flair and saying he's the best heel since them. Laughing

Rollins is nothing more than generic cocky heel #100 with below average mic skills. How many of them have we seen in recent years? Del Rio, Ziggler, Rhodes, Swagger, Axel, DiBiase, McIntyre, Kidd etc.

People are desperate for new talent. That's why they are going to hyperbole everyone who is remotely exciting. Same happened with Ziggler when he was a heel.

WWe lacks top heels. HHH is the best heel after lesnar and he isn't even a wrestler lol. There are way too many faces.

Can't wait for BNB to return. Hope they have something big planned for him.

Regarding SCSA. I hope he returns for a Rock Vs Austin match. One last time. Would be good for sales and excitement. And no talent will be buried either.

I don't think Stone cold will come back to put over anyone Laughing

There's no point having fantasy match ups though. What matters more is the actual storyline that leads up to the match. There's no storylines left for Rock or Austin, they've done it all in their careers. It just wouldn't feel the same in today's era.

by RealGunner Sun Oct 05, 2014 7:33 pm

They need to have some sort of match like that to sell the WM though. Lesnar Vs Reigns is a terrible main event for WM31. Next we will probably have Cena Vs Rollins/Ambrose and then Bryan Vs Kane. Orton vs Big Show. The usual.

I don't want old timers to come back as much as you either. But This year's WM might be the worst one in quite some time. At least last year it was a great storyline between Bryan and authority.

But a long way to go so a lot can happen.

by Onyx Sun Oct 05, 2014 7:51 pm

Which is why I said it would be a quick fix. If they actually put effort into the show, started booking meaningful storylines and pushing younger talent, then they wouldn't need to worry about selling WM.

Thing is the roster is talented. It's mainly Vince/Triple H who are either lazy or just don't know how to book a compelling show in 2014.
