But with Austin, I mean I know it's going to be shallow, he'll do a little promo, stunner someone and drink beer, and yet I don't ever seem to grow tired of that.

What is it about Austin that continues to make him so welcomed on my TV long after he's been done?
Austin is my favorite wrestler of all-time. However - I CANNOT stand to see him nowadays when he shows up on RAW. He' just way too predictable and way too toned down. I pretty much agree with everything Loose Cannon said.

For me - seeing Austin today makes me sad.....because it reminds me of how he is NOT like the Austin of old. Even guys like Triple H, HBK, Undertaker, Jericho, and The Rock (if she showed up) are still somewhat close to their younger and cooler selves.
