- WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin
appeared on Hardcore Sports Radio this week and discussed TNA Wrestling
challenging WWE on Monday nights. Despite the fact that Austin is aWWE
guy through and through, he says “competition is great for the business”
and hopes TNA can give WWE a run for its money.
“I wish the TNA people all the luck in the
world because it means more of the boys have jobs and it gives fans an
alternative” Austin said.
TNA has a lot of the WCW pieces in place
(Hogan, Bischoff, Flair, Sting, The Band), but Austin doesn’t know if
TNA will ever be able to reach WCW’s popularity peak. “I don’t know if
we’ll ever re-create that Nitro-Raw war,” he said.”WCW kicked our ass
for two years, then we smoked their ass and never looked back and put
them out of business.”
Even though he wishes good luck for TNA, he
knows it will be close to impossible for them to realistically push them
to the brink like WCW did. “I don’t think anyone will ever come close
to really giving true competition to WWE because they’re so far ahead of
the game, they’re rooted in their system, and they’re a winner.”
