It's too bad Lesnar didn't like the travel schedule. I consider 02-04 Lesnar one of my favs from the ruthless aggression era. He had a great repertoire of wrestling moves back then.

I thought injury was ultimately the reason Austin retired from WWE.

Austin was an odd case. The biggest star ever next to Hogan but even in 2002 they had no clue what to do with him anymore even if he had been able to wrestle. His GM stuff from 2003-04 got really stale too very soon, I couldn't stand seeing the same thing every week, which was a promo, WHAT, stunner, beer bash and repeat. I also blame the hardcore attitude marks for that, they never wanted him to turn heel or do something different. His 2001 heel run was amazing and yet you heard all the whining and bitching from all those Marks. That's why they didn't know what else to do with him.

Not hating on Austin but he kind of had an Ego 4 the Top Spot as well, Canât turn the Title over to Brock Lesnar on his way Up, Canât Lose to Scott Hall at Wrestlemania etc..

If you watch his last match at mania with the rock I'm pretty sure he told rock that that was it because you can see it on the rocks face. Then we got all the gm/sheriff stuff, so they did get something done. I believe there is more to this story, injuries/egos and what have you, just wish there was more of Austin's career, but maybe it is just perfect the way it is. For me it's hard to put him on my rushmore, even though he is probably my favorite of all time, because of how short his career was as stone cold. I could have 2 completely different rushmore 's though, guys that deserve it and guys that are my favorites with maybe only taker being on both

Truly the end of an era on a different level, Austin was gone, so was Rock, Nash, Goldberg, Steiner, Rikishi, Test, A-Train, Jeff Hardy, Foley would be gone after Backlash. While you still had say Angle, Triple-H, Edge, and Kane they weren't the characters of old. And with Lesnar gone you really just woke up one day in 2004 and had to go this WWE us so different from what I've been watching for however many years and it showed up in the ratings for sure.

From a merch standpoint, the lack of the Stone Cold name hurts but as far as a non-WWE career, the name would not have benefitted him at all. None of his movies or whatever would have performed better if he was billed as Stone Cold Steve Austin over just Steve Austin.

No one ever brings up the real reason Brock tried the NFL: Stephen Neal. He beat Brock's ass for an NCAA title, then became an NFL pro with no experience in football. Brock wanted to follow in his footsteps

Bruce: "I don't know if it was scepticism"
...then goes on to describe that everyone was sceptical.
Friggin Bruce the political animal as always.

Love Austin but I don't think he likes all the pg stuff

So Vince McMahon Ego got in the way again so we could've had Steve Austin for at least five more years. That means he could've retired in 2009 instead of 2004. Smh

You can only do so much with an injured Steve Austin but I think when he came back as a GM feuding with Eric Bischoff, I think that was great TV. đđź
