WWE Raw: 3 possible angles for Steve Austin on Stone Cold Day
Brock Lesnar F5s Stone Cold
I’ll admit, this one might be a stretch. Pardon the phrase, but the bottom line is that Stone Cold is a 55 year old man with neck problems who has not wrestled a match in over 15 years. I could be wrong, but he probably has not even so much as taken a bump in that same amount of time. I certainly don’t recall seeing him taking one in recent years.
What I’m getting at is that Austin is old and it’s both unlikely and probably a bad idea to make an old, retired man take an F5. I wouldn’t even dare suggest he’d go to Suplex City.
BUT, on the slim chance – on the very, very, very, very, very slim chance – that Austin is cleared to take a bump inside of an empty Performance Center, let’s make the bump count. Have him fall to the WWE Champion in a high stakes segment to push a WrestleMania match.
Drew McIntyre looks incredibly strong right now heading into his title match. He doesn’t necessarily need to get laid out by Lesnar in their next pre-Mania angle together, but this feud could use something a little extra spice, opposed to another week of McIntyre dropping The Beast on his backside.
Given their history together, Lesnar dropping Austin might exactly be that kind of necessary spice.
