Source: PWTorch.com

WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin says he won't be doing any wrestling on March 15 when he guest hosts Raw two weeks before WrestleMania 26.

Austin also said he won't be busting out the ATV in tribute to his last appearance at WrestleMania 25 and when he was the "sheriff" General Manager on Raw during the mid-2000s.

"Hosting Raw on March 15 in San Diego. No atv that I know of. Maybe they will surprise me. No more matches. I will leave well enuff alone," Austin said on his Twitter page.

Austin added a comment that he's okay with playing a "PG version" of his Stone Cold character, saying there won't be any middle fingers when he guest-hosts.

"No middle fingers in San Diego. The system has changed a little. I'm cool with that. Times change," he said.

Austin recently talked about not wrestling again in a WWE Magazine interview. Read the story here.

I May Be Moving....

Hey guys, there is a great possibility that I may move this website over to WordPress. I am still working on all of the kinks, layout, etc... so stay tuned. It's not official as of yet. Just giving you a heads up. Wordpress will allow me to do more with the website than Blogger will, so that's why I am moving (plus, I need to learn how to use WP anyway).

Thanks for the support!

Will Steve Austin Be The Last Guest Host to Host RAW?

Source: WrestleZone.com

The Figure Four Weekly Newsletter is reporting that Stone Cold Steve Austin might end up being Raw's final guest host. At this point, Austin is the last scheduled host of the show, and it's uncertain whether or not WWE will continue with the gimmick. Originally, the plan was to end the guest host angle at Wrestlemania, but in light of TNA moving to Monday nights, WWE is considering an extension of the angle to combat TNA's efforts.

Austin Talks of Coming Back to WWE to Face The Rock & Hogan

Source: WrestleHeat.com

In an interview with WWE Magazine’s special 2010 WrestleMania 26 Almanac, WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin says he still has no interest in fighting Hulk Hogan, despite WWE’s repeated attempts to make the match happen at the past few WrestleManias.

“After I retired, for two or three years, they asked me, ‘Do you want to wrestle Hogan this year? Do you want to wrestle Hogan? And the answer is: No, I don’t. “I don’t care to wrestleHulk Hogan. I don’t think it would live up to fans’s expectations.”

Austin says his match with Dwayne “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania 19 in 2003 was his “retirement match.” Austin isn’t looking for one last rematch, because he doesn’t think it could be as good as their past classics.

“That was my last match, and I’m not looking for a re-match. I don’t it would be as good as what we’ve done before because we’ve both been out of the ring for some time. Could it be done? Of course. But there’s no use talking about it. … I definitely do not have any interest in delivering anything that would be second-best to what I’ve done before.”

When asked about his favorite WrestleMania match, Austin his WrestleMania 17 main event match against The Rock, but admits that turning heel and aligning himself with Mr. McMahon that night was a bad idea looking back.

“Looking back, it wasn’t the best thing we ever did,” Austin said. “Now, if I could go back, as soon as that match ended, when Vince walked up to me, I would have shaken his hand and said, ‘Watch the Stunner,’ and dropped him right there in the middle of the ring. That’s hindsight being 20/20!”
