If the show gonna be as much of a nothingburger as last night's was, the least they could do is let the fans see the GOAT.

He went back to AEW.

 

[Chris]

He went back to AEW.

Andrade?

 

[Blazehausen]

Andrade?

if it was him it be entirely possible he just show back up in wwe

 

[Cwalker]

Brock bought to do the right thing and put Oba and Gunter over before calling it a career

 

[TexasTech]

I hope Oba Femi wins this match clean! It would do wonders for his future

 

[Sha-J Lee]

It's kind of ironic that Austin being 61 is used an excuse against him to not show up at Mania now. He literally just main evented Wrestlemania 38 a few years ago and proved that even though he was slower, he could still go. He took a suplex on the concrete and was fine afterwards. even Seth Rollins himself said that he wouldnt take that bump.

Austin is in fantastic shape.

He is in good shape but like does he need to work another match?

I find it hilarious when these stars keep saying they “can go” and then they wait until they’re old to finally return. Austin himself said he was disappointed with the KO match. He said a lot of his limitations were covered up because it was no holds barred.

They already will see the GOAT. He is hosting. Also the GmOAT is in the ladder match.

I wouldn't mind seeing Austin show up. No more matches for him but if he comes out, drinks beer, talks some shit and stuns someone? That's more than fine by me.

But what I really want and is possible given everyone is in town for it...give me a segment with Cena, Austin, Taker and Danhausen.

John Cena does not measure up to Austin as a wrestler in any regard if I'm keeping it a buck with you.

Cena had better matches than Austin ever had. Of course that may have to do with the era

 

[Big Jean Studd]

Pre neck injury he was a stud . I'll say John has had his share of epics but for my taste he also always leaves an air of phonyness that's hard to shake off. Austin felt real and believable which is a rare attributes reserved for the upper echelons of the greats .

I gotta side with Hoss here, it's hard for me to imagine a world where Cena is on the same level as Austin as a professional wrestler

 

[Hoss]

Fuck no

Austin is in fantastic shape.

All he would do is come out, cut a promo, drink a couple of beers, maybe hit a Stunner or two. He's more than capable of doing that at his age.

WCW Austin was miles better but I’m not to fussed to fight for either of them

Back in the Stunning Steve days, I knew he would be big. But I thought he would be like Ric Flair. I know his injury changed that, but he definitely was really good in WCW
