“Stone Cold” Steve Austin mentioned recently on his Steve Austin Show podcast that he was getting back into shape for a comeback. Austin said:
“I’m trying to get back into shape for a comeback.”
I would love to see Austin back in the ring again kicking butt & dishing out Stone Cold Stunners. I just hope if he comes back that he doesn’t do serious damage to his neck which he has had problems with & is the reason he had to retire from the ring.
Since WWE plugged Steve Austin’s podcast on RAW there has been speculation that Austin could possibly be working with WWE again. WWE told their distributors to go into heavy production of Austin merchandise. This is seen as a sign that Austin could be back on WWE TV in some form or at least there will be a renewed push of his merchandise. Reportedly Austin is open to returning if the money & creative plan is right.
