Vince To Austin: "You Must Conform". Austin Does Not, Vince Is Mad

[Silkk]

- PWMania.com reported over WrestleMania 31 Week that Steve Austin did not travel to Santa Clara for the festivities and this caused a lot of shock within WWE as he was expected to be there.

It turns out Austin was scheduled to fly into San Jose on the same flight that The Undertaker was on as they both live in Texas. The flight landed and Austin was not there. WWE even had an employee waiting to pick Austin up from the airport. It appears they still thought he might show up as there was a room with his name on it backstage at Levi’s Stadium until mid-week.

It was noted before that the issue appeared to be between Austin and Vince McMahon. One person close to the situation said they have never seen Vince as angry about anything else, which is saying a lot. The rift between Vince and Austin reportedly has to do with his podcast on the WWE Network and Vince not liking some aspects of it. This is likely why WWE Network is now carrying Chris Jericho’s podcast instead.

WWE also wanted Austin for the upcoming season of Tough Enough but he reportedly turned it down for an unknown reason. Some expect Austin to address his issues with WWE shortly.

Standing his own 2 feet like a man

him turning down Tough Enough tho

 

[Stez]

A millionaire needs to cake up already and set up a rival. JR & Austin on commentary would be a dope starting point for a new company

Oh, and fukk Vince

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

vince still wants his corporate champion damnit

 

[Silkk]

him turning down Tough Enough tho

Gotta commend him, he's not about to whore out/water down his name like they do Jericho/Foley/Flair

Especially seeing how great & hard they suck off the rock now

 

[XII]

So we got a Jericho podcast iNstead of another Stone Cold classic?

That's a ridiculous drop off in quality

 

[Peter Parker]

Austin the god comin through with some real Integrity

Angle taught you well, Angle taught you well

Steve rarely if ever pulls punches when he talks about the product. Even if he does stop short on things he does it out of respect for the performer he's speaking on as opposed to protecting the company.

Listen to his Tuesday Wrestlemania review podcast. He tells it how he saw it. I can see Vince not liking the fact that he doesn't kid glove their creative decisions.

 

[Mook]

him turning down Tough Enough tho

probably mad he had to choose that shytter andy in the first one. You can tell Austin aint like his ass

 

[DONCIC]

Bout to fire it up in a minute

I was mad when I saw Jericho podcast getting the interview with Cena. Ain't no one checking for that like they were the Austin/McMahon and Austin/HHH ones. I expect that shyt to be so WWE-friendly.


Austin one of the few who keep it real. Even JR, as trashed on as he is by WWE, stays WWE-friendly.

I just hope Austin and Vince work it out before WM32. Austin didn't need to be at 31, he needs to be at 32! That pop he'll get if he makes an unexpected return on RAW and announces he'll be host/ref/whatever at 32.

Edit: Hell, do Rock/HHH next year with Steph in HHH corner and Rousey in Rock corner and make Austin referee. At this point, fans clamoring for a Stone Cold return, not another Rock match.
