“Furious” Vince McMahon Not Happy With Stone Cold Steve Austin Amidst WWE Return Rumors

Stone Cold Steve Austin may have taken retirement, but his presence in the pro-wrestling world is still the same as an active wrestler. Now he has his own show, Broken Skull Sessions on the WWE Network, where he interviews many pro-wrestlers. 

Following the years after Austin’s retirement, there have been many instances of him returning to wrestling again.

Recently, the famous incident of Stone Cold walking away from the proposed match against Brock Lesnar came into the limelight.

It was the qualifying match for King of the Ring 2002, which was won by Brock Lesnar. Austin refused to lose the match against Lesnar because of a lack of storyline build.

Recently, Inside the Ropes shared on their website what Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said about Vince getting furious with Austin over teasing the matches.

He said, “[Austin] had flirted with the idea of wrestling for Hustle in Japan, but no deal was ever finalized and Austin basically felt that if he was going to wrestle again, it should be with WWE. There was talk in the past of Austin wrestling against C.M. Punk, but it never happened.”

Meltzer also added, “Austin did a great promo once for a match with Brock Lesnar, who he also never wrestled, but Vince McMahon was furious at him for doing so and teasing and making people want a match that the company couldn’t deliver.”

Vince McMahon knows what matches will make money and which matches won’t. Vince knows Austin’s in-ring return can draw huge money. So, he wants Austin to compete in a match that he will be teasing. No wonder Austin’s matches with Brock Lesnar and CM Punk would have been great if happened.

Is Stone Cold Steve Austin having a match at WrestleMania 38?

It’s been close to 20 years since Austin retired from in-ring competition. Since then, they have teased his return many times. However, the rumors were rumors after all and he didn’t return for a match.

Recently, the rumors are floating of Austin having a match at this year’s WrestleMania which is in Texas. His opponent would probably be Kevin Owens, who talked trash about the state of Texas last month on RAW.
