Steve Austin is doing this because his beer is going national. Which is a really big deal, so he needs to remind people who he is. I don't think this will be his "last match" from the interviews I'm reading. I think he's getting really into the training, probably like he was on Tough Enough, he got real hungry to get back in the ring that season.

I keep hearing Austin say it’s his last match, but I can definitely see it turning into a run. Proving he can be the biggest star in wrestling at his age is a good way to get attention on him for his beer and also potential TV/movie roles.

I’d be shocked if the WWE doesn’t try to get Austin vs. Goldberg into the ring.

They keep saying it is a "KO Show" and not a match.... but then they keep talking like it is a match and they are just meeting to fight

Modern WWE makes me think they’re just trying to have their cake and eat it too. But logic would usually dictate that they are trying to undersell and overdeliver. You’d think that if Austin is going to go they would just advertise this as a match though. Maybe they are just waiting for an angle or something? Or maybe they want the surreal moment at Mania? I dunno. It is annoying and half-baked at the moment.

Gable Steveson tweeted he was going to be at WrestleMania 38 before deleting it. He could have just been letting people know he was going to be in attendance for the show, but the deletion of the tweet makes it seem like it was supposed to mean something else, and he either let it slip or it’s all part of stirring the pot.

ofc he will be - they've been talking about him for ages.
I get those WWE surveys where they field shit before publicly releasing it, and at this point I'm tired of that dude already. At least in their "questionnaires" they asked how interesting it would be to bring in different Olympic athletes and if they would be a "good fit". No, natural athletes are not always a good fit. I think he'll get decent screen time because he seems to be one of Vince's projects. But everything else says he will be future endeavored in less than 2 years. |

There is something funny about someone with a Danhausen avatar talking about how they are sick of someone getting so much seemingly unwarranted attention. I’m a little confused. Do you actually think that Gable Steveson is going to be released by the WWE within 2 years? |

I don't watch it weekly ever. By "they" I meant "the suits" who are in charge of talent. They were putting feelers out about getting "athletes" from colleges around the country.
Fun fact, I've watched less than 30 minutes of Danhausen footage total. What I do watch is very funny, very evil. You drank the litre of piss I was taking I guess. I think he will be big at first, fizzle out to nothing and either be holding down catering or released, yes. |

I’m still just a little bit confused. I had no clue the suits were always going on about him, lol. Last I heard was when he was drafted. They announced a debut ahead of time ages ago, but beyond that I just know he’s training. And he’s probably going to be a massive deal.
I cannot see this guy being released or kept in catering, lol. |

It’s actually really wholesome how Noid has faith in WWE not missing on a “can’t miss” talent. Takes me back to a less cynical time.

Go-home Raw next week and Lesnar/Reigns is still the only match that feels important and Wrestlemania worthy. I miss the 90's/2000's.

Day one especially really weak right now. Especially if the potential Cody/Rollins match is on night 2.

Omos vs Lashley on tap for Mania.

There’s a Mania-worthy card in here. I can’t speak to the build in anything other than the big strokes. Brock vs. Roman, Becky vs. Bianca, Charlotte vs. Ronda, Edge vs. AJ and Owens vs. Austin all feel like there is “history” to them, recent or not.

Rumours of Omos vs. Lashes. Which would mean a) a face turn for Lashley and b) putting a recently injured guy in the ring with Omos

Can’t see it. I can see Omos vs. Azeez (as well as maybe Crews). It would preferably be in the context of a Battle Royal, but I think they see value in them having a singles match.

Damn...Damian Priest went from the Bad Bunny match last year to not even the pre-show...I thought Balor vs Priest would make the main card

Kind of funny that's the one match it would be logical to put Omos in and not a rumored Omos squashes Bobby Lashley bout

That’s because it is on SmackDown. He’s been waiting so long to come on Raw he needs to come there first before he can come elsewhere.

So you have Finn and Riccochet as Mid card champs and got nothing for them… couldn’t even do a quick 15 min champion vs. champion on a 2 night show.
Wish I could remember who it was recently on here saying how well booked the WWE mid card titles were. |

Just because they’re in the Battle Royal doesn’t mean they’re not going to be slotted into the main card somewhere. But if there isn’t time there isn’t time. What would you bump for them?

You can make the argument that the belts should be on more important guys, but that doesn’t really help the guys or the belts. You don’t want to start a trend where big names start winning the US Title a month prior to WrestleMania just so the belt makes the card. You’ve also then got to get the belt off the guy and onto someone in the mid-card.

I could see them doing something with Finn & Priest eliminating each other but continuing to go at it leading to a “blow off” on Saturday/Sunday.
