Punk vs. Austin at WM28, could it happen? 

Post#1 » by Dunthreevy » Thu Aug 25, 2011 9:00 pm

Reading through my twitter timeline and noticed this little exchange from Punk and Stone Cold (they're 2 of the 4 wrestlers I actually follow, including Jericho and Nash).

started here...

Austin - @ZackRyder why HELL NO you can't put a lime in the damn beer!!!

Punk - @steveaustinBSR To make it not taste like piss. It's still poison.

Austin - @CMPunk you oughta mind your own business...stay focused on Nash and leave the beer drinking to me...Punk.

Punk - @steveaustinBSR focus is my middle name...Steven.

Austin - @CMPunk my middle name is Whoop Ass...now go about your business before you step in a big pile of what did I get myself into now??


That's it so far. Are they just teasing us to get the fans riled up or are they planting the seed for a feud? Maybe the text came from Austin like sh00n suggested!?! :lol: That would be so badass.

Well they've certainly teased it enough. It would be cruel to continue to do so and not follow through.

they've been teasing it for a while now...seems like a strong possibility.
With Bill Goldberg contemplating a return and ideally wanting his final match with SCSA, SCSA can create a lot of hype and buys for PPVs with a return, Rock/Cena, Austin/Punk, could be a passing of the torch thing...Ideally though, I would wish for a Jericho/Punk feud for WM, both incredible on the mic, both good in-ring workers, and have similar in-ring styles and physiques to make a five star match

Mick Foley is rumored to wrestle one more time at WM, So I say just book it and make it a legends vs current wrestler WM, already.

Rock - Cena
Austin - Punk
Undertaker - Barrett
Foley - Cody Rhodes
Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton - World Title Match
Alberto Del Rio vs Miz - WWE Title Match

You have to assume that Jericho will be back for WM as well.

damn that match is gonna shadow The Rock and Cena had been building all these months!

as for Punk-Y2J, doesn't matter if it transpires later than WM, as long as it happens. I don't mind seeing that feud for the whole 2012.

Yeah i saw an interview recently that Austin said if he came back he would like his last match vs Punk. Tried finding it on youtube but no dice.

As for Mania this year. Let's also not forget about Triple H. Theres no way he will sit this Mania out.

that's actually a really awesome idea, takes away spots from active talent but it's a hell of a concept

I love the idea, but Wrestlemania, to me, seems to be such a prestigious event...Something that shouldn't have a stipulation attached to the entire event.

I would do it as a one night only type of PPV. But given the high probability of it making a ton of money, WWE definitely won't make it an one night only type of thing.

I like Mick Foley but I would not have him wrestle at the event if you want him to do one more match thing do it the other ppv not the biggest ppv of them all. You can still have him on the event but not to wrestle have him make a surprise appearance, or have a segment with him with some young talent to put that young talent over to set up a feud, or special guest referee.

As for Punk/Austin yeah rumors heated up about that I remember I watch the video with Austin, who knows it may happen. Say this rumor is true, and it happens I could see next year card look like this for WM

The Rock Vs John Cena

StoneCold Steve Austin Vs CM Punk

WWE World Heavyweight Title Fatal Four Way
Randy Orton(c) Vs Christian Vs Daniel Bryan Vs Chris Jericho
NOTE: Remember last time we see Jericho they have an angle with Orton punt Jericho; so they could play this angle to continue the feud. But lead to four guys fighting for the title with Daniel Bryan wants to cash it in, and Christian still obsessed want a world title shot. Maybe have him won the rumble.

WWE Title
Alberto Del Rio(c) Vs John Morrison(wishful thinking.)

Triple H Vs The Miz
NOTE: There is a rumor of possible a match at wrestlemania and Miz did have a promo "insult" HHH possible a set up for next year WM

The Streak On the Line
Undertaker Vs Wade Barrett
NOTE: Remember the attack from last year? Well, nothing settle yet so who knows maybe way to finally pass the torch per say?

The Big Show Vs Shaq
NOTE: Again rumor has it possible a match at WM...

WWE IC Title
Cody Rhodes(c) Vs Ted Dibase Jr.
NOTE: Gut feeling they going to turn Ted face but not until when it closer to the biggest ppv of them all.

Rey Mysterio Jr. Vs Sin Cara

NOTE: That is like nine matches already right there, and I notice I have left R. Truth, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio Jr., oh and Kane off. Some of them make some sort of appearance possible some sort of a segment or something I dunno.

no you didn't leave Rey. that match alone is worth a PPV. and your card... DAMN! (Ron Simmons voice)

nothing can top that card! the succeeding WM's will probably be boring. Put Sheamus and the others that were left off to some kind of a Battle Royal, have the Tag Champs, and US be defended so they can be relevant on the biggest stage of them all.

but your card...

you,sir,are a genius. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Is the Undertaker planning on retiring after Wrestlemania? A match with Barrett just seems odd to think it would be his last match. People have complained about how lousy Wrestlemania has been lately so it would be nice to see some compliments. I just hope they focus more on the wrestling than they have lately.

Punk was a guest on the MMA Hour last week and he was asked who his WM opponent would be. Punk said that if it was up to him it would be Austin. He went on to say how Austin is "too busy or so he says he is" and that Austin doesn't think he's in the same league. He said that things have changed and that this is his league now.

Take it for what it's worth.
