..that could cause a huge ratings spike if he came back full time.I know the Rock didn't really but that wasn't the OG fukkery Rock.I'm talking bout Stone Cold,every week,old school fukkery back,stunners all around.Could he dramatically raise them numbers?I think so.

They couldn't afford to let him cut loose and be THIS Austin right now IMO

it'd expose a lot of cats if u think about it. Even at 48 years old they don't have many hands on deck that can survive and spar on the mic with him and Steve ain't the type to dumb it down

i just don't see wrestling in the same space and i think guys like Austin Rock and to a lesser extent a 60 yr old Hogan or Sting, Ultimate Warrior return can command a short term spike in ratings and good ppv buy rates if they were to stay attached for say a yearly program it would regress to the slightly higher to where it is now

but it would be awesome but i think someone like Austin wouldn't want to take away from the wrestlers now and he probably feels he's had his day and enjoys being out hunting and relaxing

yep. the avg person who watched Austin in his prime has 0 interest in watching WWE today...they would tune in for a week..maybe 2 weeks....see how shytty the quality was(you cant bring Attitude into the PG era for instance) and the ratings will drop back down..

plus Austin physically cant do the things he did before. if i want to see an old man kick ass then i'll watch some Chuck Norris flicks
