Since when is Stone Cold not a big draw?
Stone Cold rumored relationship with WWE
- Thread starter Henzo
- Start date
rock kept himself relevant by doing movies and became an even bigger mainstream star, vince/cena were begging for the rock to come back. austin on the other hand remains a nobody outisde of wrestling. you must be a fool to think austin is still some kinda huge draw

stone cold would never play second fiddle to rock on wwe television no matter how big the rock becomes
austin is a god in wwe
austin is a god in wwe
austin already played 2nd fiddle to rock AND hogan, check wm 18, he had a shytty match with alcohall
austin should know by now he isn't god tier status like hogan
That's definitely not it. He was the first one to wish him good health and a quick recovery from surgery. He did say tweet something slick two weeks before Mania 29...he said something like "there's no way I"ll be at Mania 29"...he said it with that comical way he be speaking.
Nobody in their right mind has ever said the Rock returning woudln't draw huge. No one. No one on here. No one on the mainstream IWC boards. Not Meltzer. Not hack journalists..not even the little Rock hating site the Bleacher report. Rock returning was the only known saving grace for a failing wrestling industry in America pre 2011.
You must of missed the WWE in 2000 when he came back and definitely must of missed the WWE in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
They Dont Hear You Tho
I know, but this is shyt I been saying for like 10 years, austin aint nothing special anymore
to be honest he aint been shyt since that 2 man power trip shyt in like 2002
all this GOAT talk is absurd, hogan and rock were bigger draws, bret and shawn were better workers, arn and flair were better talkers, last I checked to be considered in GOAT contention you have to atleast be the best in one of those categories.

Wrong on every count.
I think WWE hurt Austin by making his post-retirement appearances cheap and repetitious. It became boring watching Jolly Austin lead "What?" chants, stunner some heel like Miz and drink beer. And that sucks because in terms of WWE performers he is arguably the GOAT. It doesn't get much better than vicious, intense, angry Stone Cold.
Meanwhile, Rock stayed away for years, became a huge mainstream star, and when he finally came back it seemed like a big deal. Rock's a bigger star outside wrestling. That combined with Austin's appearances in recent years make Austin take a back seat, unfortunately.

Well that clears it up, showtime says he IS jealous, thus it is so.
Its getting ridiculous now
Austin's style of both promo and working would be a tall task in the PG era.
It ALL depends how his return is treated, hes a big deal who should be treated like a big deal, the audience would respond accordingly especially if he's booked with the right guy, for better or worse Rock had Cena lined up waiting for him, cats don't like Punk but you best believe him and Steve would make some fun tv, plus they have back story, same with Brock, they can throw hands and settle things now from the "walk out controversy". this is Stone Cold we are talking about, that dude aint getting no crickets, ever. Tough Enough showed he's still more than capable of intense promos and dude is still in respectable shape.
He'd need to be a little more giving as a character in PG land but let's not be crazy.
