With rumors running rampant that WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin may return to the squared circle for one more match, the legendary wrestler has actually said that he is training for a comeback.
While chatting with retired professional wrestler and bodybuilder Ric Drasin about Gold's Gym and lifting routines on
The Steve Austin Show two weeks ago (
listen here), Austin mentioned, "I'm trying to get back into shape for a comeback."
It was casually mentioned, and he didn't go into further detail.
Although he has not wrestled since 2003, he has remained open to the idea. Essentially, he would be up for it but the circumstances would have to be just right because, let's face it, his coming back would be no small task.
In an interview last month with the
Pro Wrestling Torch, Austin certainly sounded as though he's positioning himself for one more match.
"I'll reserve my right to if I want to have another match down the road - say, like, Dallas, Texas is going to be (
WrestleMania) 32," Austin said. "Now, 31 is right down the road from me. That could be doable, but I don't see it happening. Now, Dallas, that could be very special going back to Texas for 32. They're going to need a loaded card to fill that house. So, I'll reserve my right. But, am I pushing, pandering, selling, promoting? Nothing."
WrestleMania 31 is set for Santa Clara next year and if the rumors are true, Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is the planned main event. At the very least, there appears to already be some plan in place.
WrestleMania 32, meanwhile, right there in Texas where Austin got his start on his road to becoming arguably the biggest star in the history of the business, is wide open. And if they want to fill up Cowboys Stadium, bringing in Austin for a match would certainly do the trick.
So while he's saying he's not pushing or pandering for it, he's most definitely positioning with a little bit of leverage afforded by the time frame, location, and willingness to make it happen.
