He's very over but he's not a draw. That's the thing. There have been alot of names like that over the years..Punk has just been really good on the mic since 09.

austin knows there's bigger money match ups to be made with others.

austin/cena, austin/brock, shyt austin/hogan.

casual viewer aint checking to see cm punk go against austin in his return.

This, no one besides marks checking for punk/Austin and marks going watch no matter what anyway

Thing is, I think that's enough for Austin. He's big enough were he's fine with working with the company's 1B star that's "just" over because the match will draw big anyway (because of the reasons I already posted).

These losses to Rock don't hurt Punk. Rock, Hogan, Austin, Taker losses don't hurt anybody really because of who they are.

Austin, more than most, probably is less worried about money matches. He doesn't want to have a shytty performance & he wants to be able to come out of any match without getting hurt again. Him & Hogan is the ultimate money match but Hogan can't do much & that would probably result in a garbage match. Brock is a safety issue. I just don't think him & Cena would work well in the build up. I don't want to see him & Rock try to have another match because Rock isn't in ring shape & whoever it is has to do the heavy lifting.

He's never talked about a match against Cena. He turned down Hogan. And I highly doubt he's willing to risk his well being against Brock unless Cokeboy offers him like 5 million :laugh:

He's said multiple times that Punk is the only guy he would be willing to come back against. He just wants Punk to be ruthless because that's were Austin excels at.

Casual viewers are gonna buy Wrestlemania because it's Wrestlemania. They are guaranteed at least 800,000 buyers just off that. Austin returning after all these years and having the feud he wants to have it's gonna do 1-1.1 million EASILY.

Punk is not a big star at all, but he's been 1B to Cena's 1a for 2 years now. He's SOMEBODY to casual fans. It's like you guys think people see him as Jack Swagger or something :laugh:. A match vs Austin will bring tons of money, I can't believe people doubt that.

link me the proof to this, because this is a lie.

the problem with hogan was no one is willing to do the job. and austin can't trust hogan on any of his word.

cena and austin would be the biggest $$$ match up, you guys must be on something if you don't think it'd work. it's new generation vs the old generation.

Cena & Austin would be a money match. The build up would be shyt though. Any feud Austin comes back for is gonna be money but like I said, I don't think that is the most important part to Austin at this point. He doesn't want to come back to be embarrassed & have the last match he has be looked at as shyt.

I think he would rather work with Punk than Cena just because of Punk's promo ability. Austin would be intense & serious every week & so would Punk. Without a change in character Cena would be cracking stupid ass jokes like he did with Rock.

i think you guys are giving punk way too much credit when it comes to promos and short selling cena's promo ability

ring wise? of course punk is the better match, but any austin match is gonna be a brawl anyway at this point

:manny: I just don't think him & Cena would have a good build. Cena is great on the mic sometimes but then you get that goofy stupid Cena for the kids.

That's my interpretation of his "he needs to pick up his intensity" quote :manny:

I was looking for Austin quotes and you are right. I missed the interview were he said he would work with Cena/HHH/Taker too. Punk "only" was on top of his list.

cena and austin would be the biggest $$$ match up, you guys must be on something if you don't think it'd work. it's new generation vs the old generation.

I think it would work and it would be a bigger match that Punk. But if he had to choose, I still think he picks Punk if he gets the feud he wants to have :yeshrug:

Gotta disagree. Imagine how much it would have helped for him to head into WM as champ on 400+ day reign and then drop it to say Ryback(for example)

Now his best case scenario is hoping taker comes back to wrestle him & he KNOWS he aint winning that

It wouldn't have mattered he was losing the belt to Rock before Mania either way. I think he should have won by some fukkery at Rumble & lost the belt last night. Losing to Taker won't hurt because everyone loses to Taker at Mania. The only way it hurts him at all is will be 3 straight PPV loses, but nobody will be paying attention to that anyway unless they completely bury him after Mania. They won't do that though because when all the part timers leave somebody has to face Cena for the belt.

This. Besides the personal implications, Punk would be the perfect guy for Austin to work with because of his in-ring abilities. He carried Rock again last night to a really good match and they even went out of their way to make Punk look as strong as possible for the marks.

If we never get this match its because Austin is 50 and too broken down and doesnt want to bother making a comeback, not because his ideal opponent lost a couple PPV matches to some of the greatest of all time.
