It has to burn Austin deep down he got post-career eclipsed by HHH, Rock, Cena etc

[MrFirst2doit]

Post-career, HHH on pace to be the next VKM, making more money then ever
Post-career, Rock is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, making more money then ever
Post-career, Hogan was doing fine mainstream wise until...well you know...
Post-career, Cena on pace to be today show host or wrestlings version of Michael Strahan
Post-career, even Batista made it hollywood wise...

Austin biggest contribution post Wrestling has been a successful podcast, while it's nice i mean, can't really compare to this contemporaries....

It should also dock him GOAT points in that debate too..because legacy and mainstream recognition is a big part of earning title of GOAT...yeah he's the all-time highest drawing wrestler but is that's only going by WWE metrics...i would argue the rock "brand" and other's brand in total far eclipsed Austins

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

He's a redneck. He has copious amounts of money, his own ranch, his own beer, hunting gear and ATVs...He is literally living the live of his dreams. He is far from jealous of those guys.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

He has two shows on CMT, and he's a star in the country realm.

That was always his core base.

He's also ultra-competitive....there is no way having the WOAT post-career out of all the "GOATs" doesn't burn him a little...those are his contemporaries and peers and they have all turned the WWE thing into very lucrative ventures post-wrestling except for him...i mean, he's doing fine but not on those guys level

They work more than he does and he he is rich for life...I'm pretty sure it DOESNT bother him.

End of Thread.

Austin has ALWAYS been a Blue-Collar Texan. He is PERFECTLY happy doing what he wants to do. He has money and a large amount of land, hosting content which suits him well on CMT. Don't let Hollywood fool you, that shyt is MORE TOXIC than the WWE, because at least Vince is honest while you have Agents that will backstab you once you develop wrinkles or don't draw money like your use to.

He has his own beer. Which is a very good IPA. If you get a freshly kegged pour of it there is not many IPAs better then it. El Segundo Brewery makes some of the best IPAs anywhere.

The Broken Skull Challenge is one of the best obstacle course challenges out there. He gets top stars from Ninja Warriors, top crossfit junkies, and top spartan racers.

His podcast is one of the more popular podcasts on Podcast One and has helped podcast one grow to what it is now.

Austin is doing just fine post wrestling. Plus He seems content doing what he's doing.

In 2017, we can clearly see that HHH is the one jealous of everyone, including his own friends. He will never be looked at the way people look at Austin, Rock, and HBK.

 

[James Dean]

I always looked at it as everyone is doing great in their different lanes.

Austin is still living the life he wanted. Red neck , in the country, and chugging beer. You can tell he's living it up.

HHH was a power hungry guy and it's why he's in the suits now. Being poised for the eventual takeover. He's done a good job.

Rock was the entertainer and he's in another lane to do just that. In Hollywood doing great.

Cena literally was the company's golden boy. He's smartned up and is en route to having a great post wwe life. Especially since WWE has backed off him in recent years.

Batista had a killer career. Came back real quick in 2014 but is using his gotg success to open up more doors. Capitalize.

Brock literally said fukk this full time gig. Did football and UFC. Then came back to one of the most laid back deals of all time.

HBK got the fukk out of the game at the right time. Why hang on for 30 years? He's like another Austin doing his thing in his lane.

He'll even Kane setting himself up for some political moves.

But Hogan and Flair are examples of guys who hung on for far too long. Its fukking crazy to see two once giants doing car commercials. Arby commercials. And quick cash grabs. Smarten up.

Point is a Lot of the attitude era and ruthless agression guys are gonna be eating good. Its a heavy salute to see them open up doors for them to not be spending 30 years banging themselves up and ruining their legacy not hanging it up.

 

[Champagne Kudo]

in what world did HHH eclipse Austin!?

either way I honestly doubt he gives a fukk

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

he could come back tomorrow and this would be the highest selling mania of all time

Cena, The Rock, Haitch, D-Lo, Batista, Vince all know that

Retired young. Rich. Still popular. Still making money. TV shows. Businesses. What am I missing?

Yeah they can rewrite history him and his wife and live in his fantasy world where he is god. But at the end of the day he know who he truly is and he wanys to portray to be something else. Its gonna burn his soul

This man...Austin seems content with living a simple relaxing life, if he really wanted to get on that grind i'm sure he could have.

But Austin would suffer from lack of appeal in film like Hulk because they both just stand out too damn much and their wrestling character ends up overtaking whatever role they would be trying to do. The Rock has the ability to appear to be different in film and be someone else when needed, there is more flexibility with his look and speaking cadence.

Cena could be the next Mark Wahlberg if he wanted to be, he's got that typical Boston look and can do raunchy comedy and serious drama stuff just off his look and demeanor. Austin at best can play a Texan all the time and Hulk..nobody looks like Hulk in real life so he can't play anybody really unless he had a full head of hair in his prime and he could have done fantasy warrior roles but the horseshoe and the Mustache just made it tough to cast him as anything other than Hulk Hogan or some goofy villian in 3 ninjas
