Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted October 22, 2003 He can still flip people off and give out a stunner. I'd take that over the AWFUL wrestling from the rest of the Raw roster. Well maybe if they had some actual ringtime to hone their skills the matches would be better, but it aint gonna happen with Austin flipping everybody off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted October 22, 2003 If the average smark was in charge of WWE it would be ten times worse than it is now. Imagine, Steve Austin would get fired despite being the most over performer they have, and Rob Van Dam and Lance "I have been wrestling for 10 years and I STILL can't throw a punch" Storm would be battling it out for the World Title.

His promos bore me. He hogs airtime. He is made to look superior to actual wrestlers. He serves no purpose on RAW. The only thing I've liked about him since he came back was Wrestlemania XIX v. The Rock. Other then that I wish Austin had just stayed home in Texas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ray Report post Posted October 22, 2003 His promos bore me. Well that's fine, but they don't bore me. He hogs airtime. Like I said, if Austin wasn't there, his airtime would be filled with bad wrestlers like Mark Henry/Steiner/Test/Dudleys/etc... So I have no problem with him taking up airtime. He is made to look superior to actual wrestlers. I don't care, personally, because most of those wrestlers that he is made to look superior to, suck ass. I *WANT* Austin to look superior to Steiner. He serves no purpose on RAW. He's still one of the biggest stars on Raw, and could draw more money in his sleep or sell more merchandise than someone like Christian or Test ever could. I think the boring chant austin did towards Storm was one of the most disgraceful and disrespectful things one wrestler has done towards another I have ever seen. Yeah, because we ALL know Steve Austin came up with that idea. It's all Austin's fault. Not the writers or the bookers or Vince "owner of the company" McMahon, it's ALL Austin's fault.

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted October 22, 2003 You know, Austin may be entertaining to the crowd but the guy does his same tired act again and again, hardly gets physical, and makes other wrestlers look weak by comparison. Wait, is this Austin or Hogan? Austin could stay if he actually did something different for a change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Well that's fine, but they don't bore me. My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin. I like to drink beer. Drink beer. I wanna whoop someone's ass. Provoke me damnit! It's the same thing every week Like I said, if Austin wasn't there, his airtime would be filled with bad wrestlers like Mark Henry/Steiner/Test/Dudleys/etc... So I have no problem with him taking up airtime. I don't know about you- but on a wrestling show I like to see wrestler's wrestle. Not a cripple QUOTE He is made to look superior to actual wrestlers. I don't care, personally, because most of those wrestlers that he is made to look superior to, suck ass. So- those wrestlers actually put their bodies on the line every day. They have to work house shows. Austin in NO way should look superior to any active wrestler. I *WANT* Austin to look superior to Steiner. Why? Because it's bad for business? Kills a heel turn right off the gate? Does nothing for nobody? Wastes viewers times? Makes people look stupid? QUOTE He serves no purpose on RAW. He's still one of the biggest stars on Raw, Yes- the ratings certainly reflect that don't they? and could draw more money in his sleep What money is Austin drawing now? or sell more merchandise than someone like Christian or Test ever could. So we should keep pushing a person who is RETIRED and can not wrestle ever over people who can still wrestle? Yeah, because we ALL know Steve Austin came up with that idea. It's all Austin's fault. Not the writers or the bookers or Vince "owner of the company" McMahon, it's ALL Austin's fault I think it's funny how Austin kept bitching and whining about the product and how much it sucks etc. But now that he's back, is hogging airtime and is made to look superior to Chris Jericho- he doesn't say a word.

He didn't refuse to do that The only argument for that is Storm is actually getting ring-time longer than 2:00 and being squashed by Goldberg. Of course he is acting like a total dumbass, but whatever gets him over (which isn't really helping him much) is what he'll do. Where's Goldust been anyway? I thought him/Storm were a team that were gonna split in three weeks....now there's no Goldie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 I understand Austin drew Hogan-like levels years ago. But this is more like Hogan 1992. People stopped giving a crap. Get rid of him. Please. Even Ric Flair is doing more to help the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Even me being an Austin fan, I think Austin should've retired after he said his speech the Raw after Wrestlemania. He gave props to The Rock for a great ending to their feud, and he thanked the fans for sticking with him. The Co-GM role has tarnished his legacy a lot (plus the events of last summer as well). As much as I hate to say it, I agree with the people who think Austin should not be on television, because his character is completely tired, and out-of-whack with the authoritarian twist. Yeah, I loved his matches and I thought it was great that Austin gave us one more classic at WM XIX by putting over The Rock (finally), but the kind of program he has been performing has been dreadful to watch, even though I am a staunch supporter of his. I guess after the divorce and court appearances, he really needs the cash. I don't want to see him leave out of spite or hate for him, but I'd rather he leave now and save what's left of his legacy, which is what makes me an Austin-fan to this day. Above all else, all high-profile figures are remembered by what they do LASTLY in their careers, and I don't want to remember Austin's by thinking of the time he and Eric Bischoff had a burping contest.

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted October 22, 2003 This "Austin shouldn't look stronger than any active wrestler" thing is bullshit. What if the wrestler is Steven Richards? He should be made to look competative against Austin? Steve Austin? Like, wrestlings biggest ever star? The fans still buy Austin as a bad ass, so they aren't gonna promote him as a pussy. The problem is when Austin looks stronger than a wrestler who actually means something (Jericho). In other words, the morons are booking Austin badly, by putting him over promosing wrestlers, but it's not really Steve Austin's fault. Oh, and Christian is pretty lousy. 99% of the net cry about how Christian should be pushed (and if it's not him it's Storm or Robbie V) and other than a spot of comedy, I don't see what he brings to the table.
