WWE Chairman - Vince Mcmahon is unlike any other professional wrestling league owner in the industry. He is a pioneer and ruthless decision maker of WWE products, and his talents make WWE products a hit. Even the company's most valuable assets, such as the cold-headed Steve Austin, are not immune to the wrath of their bosses. In the latest episode of Wrestling Watch Radio, professional wrestling newspaper reporter Dave Meltzer recounts a notorious incident between Vince Mcmahon and Steve Austin in the early 2000s.
A new documentary on the WWE network focuses on a brutal era of aggression, with a insightful part about Steve Austin leaving the company in 2002 after he was told he was going to lose to Brock Lesner in a match. Austin said he opposed losing to Lesner on a free-to-air TV show. Cold Stone was a legend for WWE, a business blunder because he could have had a better showdown with Lesner in a bigger PPV, and a more commercially valuable game.
Journalist Meltze revealed that Vince McMan wanted Austin to lose to Lesner for a reason. The Texas Rattlesnake gave wwe a negative review of the creative team, and the company was less than happy with his remarks. Creative director Vince Mcmahon feels that no one has the right to publicly criticize the idea, even if he is the company's biggest player. Vince decided to punish Austin for losing to Lesner.
However, the WWE Hall of Famer did not make an appearance on RAW and left the company instead. This has been a well-documented topic since this raw incident. Here's what Meser and another journalist, Alvarez, had to say about the matter: Melzer: "The story about Steve Austin's departure, because Vince wanted him to lose to Brock Lesner in a normal tv game, and Austin was angry, and that's a matter of course, because Austin thought Lesner was someone who could play ppv with him." Alvarez: "I think they want him to lose in a normal game, it's just ridiculous, it's a waste!"
Meser: "I don't even remember which episode of the show, the story is like this. So Steve Austin did an interview in which he lashed out at the drama group, in retaliation, because Vince was the leader of the drama group, and Vince punished him for losing to Lesnar Brock Lesnar. Austin said, 'I'm the biggest player, it doesn't make sense for business.' My showdown with Bullock should run through everyone and should have happened on ppv and not on regular shows, because in those days! Vince's explanation after 17 years is that if they had played this game at the time, even on a regular show, no one would have forgotten this game. ”
That's his explanation for why. But that still doesn't explain why they didn't play on PPV, or let Brock Lesner beat Steve Austin on TV when they should have met for the first time, but it wasn't a good thing to remember anyway. The feud between them wasn't even hyped up because it was a punishing thing, it wasn't like a storyline, it wasn't like something that was established a week ago. He said that the drama crews were all jerks, and no one dared to say that publicly, not even Steve Austin, and that's how they would punish those guys. ”
Then Austin said, "It's dogs, it's not business!" Then ColdStone left the company. In fact, Austin later said it was a stupid thing to let him go, and that he probably should talk to Vince.
This plot editor also had to watch at that time, although at that time Lao Ao had announced that he could no longer play, because of the neck reason, but still served as the manager of SD, the big cloth at that time was the next big person, more able to have a plot with the old Ao, in the plot, the big cloth stole the old Ao's iconic ATV, and then the old Ao took revenge in the show, this was the most miserable time when the big cloth was beaten, was chased by the old Ao, and finally successfully snatched back his car, but in the end the fact that the plot was suddenly interrupted, and now it seems, Originally, Lao Ao could have a real retirement match with Dabu, but he was yellowed by Lao Mai again! No wonder that from then on, Lao Ao announced that he would not play again, and he may still care about Lao Mai's disrespect for him at the beginning!
