For a brief and magical moment in 2011, it looked like we could see a show between two of the best microphones in the history of the wrestling world.
CM Punk was about to drop the bomb, but even before this revolutionary promotion he was in one of the hottest acts in WWE. Stone Cold Steve Austin was at the company as host and head coach of the Strong enough. With some 50 years to go, a single return or even a part-time artist contract still seemed like something the Hall of Fame could do.
We have a backstage tease full of tension …
But no matter how much we read about Punk using Austin merchandise for his famous promotion two weeks later, the June 13 meeting was the closest we had.
So far! Kind of…
Straight Edged One jokingly answered a question about what a match with Austin would have been like during a question and answer session on Twitter last week. The Texas Rattlesnake saw this and offered their own opinion on booking a Punk / Austin dream match. Chicagoan didn’t bother …
I said, “I REALLY WISH YOU TO WORK TOGETHER”.
Oh, he wasn’t “what?” With me? Whatever it is. I will be here, fantasizing, reserving the feud that has both Stone Cold’s near broadway and Punk’s squash in it.
