Steve Austin Missing Wrestlemania 31
PWInsider.com is reporting “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was originally supposed to fly to San Jose and be in Santa Clara for Wrestlemania 31 week, and WWE even had someone waiting to pick him up. Austin would’ve been on the same flight as The Undertaker, but when the plane landed, Austin wasn’t there, but there was still hope Austin might show up.
According to reports, Austin not showing stemmed from an issue between Austin and Vince McMahon. Apparently Austin and Vince were disagreeing about criticism of Austin’s WWE Network podcast. Vince was apparently so angry with Austin during Wrestlemania weekend that one person had said they’ve never seen him that mad about something, and is probably why Chris Jericho’s podcast is airing on the network instead.
In regards to Tough Enough, WWE wanted Austin for the show but he reportedly turned down the hosting gig for an unknown reason.
Sting’s Manager
“The Vigilante” Sting’s manager, Steve Martinez, recently responded to criticism of Sting’s match with Triple H at Wrestlemania 31.
Fans were saying it “made a mockery” of Sting’s legacy, but Martinez responsed with the following:
.@shinnox Respectfully, 1 match/loss doesn’t make mockery of 25+yrs of great work. As great as they r, even WWE doesn’t have that much power
