    And Steve Austin might wrestle again. Possibly against Kevin Owens at Wrestlemania 
    I don't like this idea. A better avenue for Steve would be as a surprise Royal Rumble entrant. He hasn't had a one-on-one match since 2003. I don't want to see him make a fool of himself like Goldberg does every time he steps in the ring.

    plus his limited-ability-moves are over and done. stomping a mudhole; whip off the ropes into a front body press and punches; front elbow drop; etc. he's good for a big pop then 2 minutes. royal rumble, as you said, would be perfect. or just a surprise run in at WM.

    If they could keep it under wraps, sneak him in, and only let the people he'll bein the ring with know it's happening, it would be the coolest surprise and biggest pop of all-time.

    Both are pretty shocking. Little more shocked about Cody Rhodes coming back to WWE. Wonder how that's gonna play out. You know he ain't doing Stardust again.

    Kevin Owens vs Steve Austin at WM would be interesting. If Austin thinks he can go 5-10 minutes in the ring and doctors say he's cleared Hell Yeah hope he does then.

  • The Undertaker is headlining this year's Hall of Fame class...and I cry FOUL. So Barry Bonds gets an unfair advantage from steroids, so he's blackballed from the Baseball HOF. But the Undertaker gets an unfair advantage from the power of the urn...and nobody bats an eye?

    Urns were never explicitly against the rules.  When used inappropriately in a match he would face the consequences.

    Nor were PEDs in Barry Bonds' day. I dunno. I'm just looking for consistency across the various sports.

    You can’t have the biggest draw in wrestling history show up for a one-off unadvertised.

    I actually met him a few years ago when my cousin (who has Down Syndrome) and I got to go backstage after a Smackdown taping and meet some wrestlers. It was a hilarious exchange. My cousin's name is Joseph....

    Joseph (upon seeing the Undertaker): UNDERTAKER!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

    (Undertaker comes over. He's still in ring gear, looks about 20 feet tall, and has a smile on his face and he approaches Joseph and me. He extends his hand for a handshake and Joseph, on cloud 9, shakes it.)

    Undertaker: Hey what's your name, buddy?

    Joseph: JOSEPH!!

    Undertaker: Nice to meet you Joseph.

    Joseph: Undertaker big crybaby. 

    (Undertaker laughs but seems a bit confused. Of all the things he's ever been called, "big crybaby" probably isn't one of them)

    Me: Uh...Mr. Undertaker. No disrespect meant, but I think my cousin here holds a grudge over the time you cheated to beat Hulk Hogan (Survivor Series '91). I know that was like 25 years ago, but he has it on VHS, so to him, it happened whenever he last watched it. (I turn to Joseph) Right Joseph? He cheated to beat the Hulkster!

    Joseph: Yeah Undertaker cheater!

    (Undertaker smiles, puts his arm around Joseph's shoulder, and looks down at him. Joseph is looking up at UT with the widest smile imaginable)

    Undertaker: Joseph.....what you calling "cheating," I call "avoiding the rules."

    Joseph: Oh okay Undertaker I understand!

    (We all laugh, and then we take a picture. He couldn't have been nicer).

    It was awesome. AJ Styles let Joseph hold the championship belt for a picture and Joseph goes "I keep this?" We all had a big laugh.

    Cesaro leaves WWE. Can sign with whomever he wants, whenever he wants. Another good wrestler not used right by the WWE. Guessing he'll sign with AEW.
