About a month ago, Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared on “The Ross Report” and confirmed that he will be in Dallas, Texas for Wrestlemania 32.
As of this writing, WWE has not pitched anything to Austin about appearing at the event, and there are currently no plans for him on the show. That can always change, but he seems to be looking for something bigger than just a cameo appearance like at Wrestlemania 30.
What does Austin think about Daniel Bryan’s recent retirement?
“It’s a hard pill to swallow when you have to walk away from something that you truly love. That’s a guy who worked his tail off and the system was against him, he wasn’t the guy that was the chosen one. And because the fans believed so much in him, they had to make him the chosen one.”
“It’s like Paul Orndorff, Mr. Wonderful, told me a long time ago when he had to retire. He said ‘Steve, there is life after wrestling.’ and I said ‘There is?’ and he goes ‘Yes, there is.”
Will Austin be appearing at WrestleMania 32?
“As far as the storyline goes, if it’s not something that really makes sense, if it’s not something that’s really good or has an impact, it’s not worth doing.”
