Chris Jericho on Steve Austin's "Broken Skull Sessions" on WWE Network/Peacock April 11th

EXACTLY









I was just bout to say this....

Aint too much Vince can say at this point.... he an employer


This between Austin and PEACOCK


Austin could put Lio Rush, Aries, CM Punk, Tony Khan, Dixie Carter, Andrade, Zelina and Ryback on his show and as much as Vince may hate it..... if Peacock thinks it can get a good buzz and rating.... they’ll tell Vince to


They own the Network now

They don't own it they're leasing it. Vince still has a soft spot for Jericho, which is why he is letting this happen. Do you think that Stone Cold would've went to Vince for approval if this was just between Stone Cold & NBC?

 

[JerseyBoy23]

If this wasn’t filmed before he joined AEW I’m gonna assume Austin wanted to expand guests beyond WWE. I’m starting to think NBC is gonna buy the WWE eventually.

If you look up Bonnie Hammer and her relationship with the McMahon's, it's been in the works since they came back in 2005.

Supposedly Jericho didn’t even tell Tony Khan he was gonna do Austin’s show lol

To answer your last question....

Yes.

If you think Vince has a soft spot for Jericho.... which I agree.

He has an even softer spot for Austin, Rock, and Hogan.

I think he’d pretty much give them anything they want and let them do anything they want to do.

Vince right now could have a pretty strict time booked live Smackdown or Raw.

And if Rock/Austin said they wanted to be on the show to do a segment and Rock/Austin decided to take it longer and do like 2-3 segments.

Vince probably would just be like

“it’s good shyt”

I think he got Tony's approval, which wasn't hard since he says yes to anything his wrestlers want to do.

True, But Vince isn't going to just let AEW wrestlers appear on his network without getting some out of the deal. If more of them start showing up then it's only a matter of time before a Dynamite main event ends with someone eating a surprise Superman punch.

Breh..... it’s Austin


Now say this was ..... AJ STYLES podcast

And he asked to do this...... hell no this wouldn’t happen and I FULLY agree with you and any other “other company slanderer”

But it’s fukking Stone Cold Steve Austin.

 

[Kinguno]

Closest thing I can compare this to was that Flair/Christian exchange WWE and TNA did a few years back for their halls of fame

This is like way way way bigger than that. This is SUCH GREAT shyt

Again that didn't stop them from canceling his show before.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Maybe it was Peacock’s call. They probably want to spotlight talent that will be predominantly seen when they get all the library going. Whatever the reason he’s gonna be on so

That’s what my thoughts are too. NBC knows that moves like this will generate a healthy amount of buzz and interest in the WWE catalog, especially this time of year. People see this happen and immediately start thinking of crossovers and partnerships, they’ll begin looking up things on the Network, etc.

But Money mark Vince came crawling back


Last thing he wants is to have a busted relationship with Austin and then Austin partnering up with other folks or him being forced to edit out/black out Austin legacy and history in the company.

There are like 5 guys I think Vince is terrified to be in bad terms with at this point;

Rock
Austin
Brock
Taker
Hogan

Anyone after that Vince may be like

But them 5.... naw

 

[Brad Piff]

No, no, no. NBC gave Austin the go ahead with complete disregard for Vince. THEY'RE the bosses now.

Spoiler

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Welp there’s goes “Jericho crawled back” and “Tony wasn’t asked”

 

[Brad Piff]

lol @ Austin checking TWICE with Vince in disbelief to make sure it was ok

but according to the marks Austin has Vince by the balls and can do whatever he wants
