Steve Austin News Haul - Feb. 22, 2011

Some news reports are a few weeks old, but most are fairly recent.

Hangar 14 News

Steve Austin recently completed filming on Hangar 14, which features former UFC talent Keith Jardine in a supporting role. The movie centers on Los Angeles Police Department Swat Team members fighting two rival gangs in a three-way affair while trapped inside an abandoned hanger with nothing but blanks in their guns.

A Rock and Austin Rivalry Coming Soon?

Sources inside WWE hinted on Friday that tentative plans have been drawn up for The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to appear together in the ring at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta. Despite having already headlined three WrestleMania's together, the WWE Universe has been buzzing about a potential Rock and Austin confrontation given that both men have returned to the company in the past thirty days.

As it stands, however, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin will not have a phsyical altercation. Instead, ideas are being toyed with that involve both men somehow "laying the smack down" on WWE CEO Vince McMahon.

Last Monday, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returned to WWE programming on Monday Night Raw for the first time in seven years.

Only three weeks earlier, Stone Cold Steve Austin was announced as the new host of WWE Tough Enough, which premieres April 4th, the night after WrestleMania 27.

On Tuesday, Stone Cold Steve Austin tweeted: “it was great to see The Rock back on RAW tonight…helluva promo from an electrifying cat. great stuff heading into Mania.”

Steve Austin will all but certainly be on hand for WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta, Georgia if for no other reason that to promote the following night's premiere of WWE Tough Enough. And we already know that The Rock will be in Atlanta serving as the official host of WrestleMania 27. So while there are facts rather than rumors dictating the latest speculation that Austin and The Rock will be paired for an in-ring segment at WrestleMania, it still isn't clear exactly how the segment will unfold and what it will involve.

One thing is for certain, however. An electrifying and unforgettable WrestleMania moment is likely in the works.

Please weigh in with a thought or comment below regarding a possible friendly reunion between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.

JR Blog's on Austin Hosting "Tough Enough"

On Steve Austin Hosting Tough Enough: "Steve Austin is very excited about hosting the new season of Tough Enough. It will be interesting to see how much star power and expertise is put in place when the training staff is announced. My instincts say that Austin will have a strong team to help him with the trainees. This will be a great opportunity for Stone Cold to be Stone Cold and to re-engage his many fans on a weekly TV series of which I have great expectations for and will be watching and DVR'ing every week. I do not know the status of Tough Enough airing outside the USA for those that are asking."

Austin commented on The Rock's return. Here's what he had to say:

Stone Cold Trends on Twitter

With The Rock making his comeback on tonight's RAW, Twitter became a hotbed of talk and trending topics. Along with The Rock and Dwayne Johnson as trending topics (along with Stephanie McMahon), Stone Cold's name appeared multiple times trending around the world! It's 1999 all over again - this time on Twitter!

SAW,com PSA... Well, Sort Of...

Okay... I seriously need to get to work on my websites - a lot of you have been asking about it. Steve will be hosting "Tough Enough" in April, and now that The Rock is back (FINALLY!), I will have to be possibly be updating my Facebook page (I don't have any plans on opening the Rock fansite back up), BUT that means updates on RockAndAustin.com, so I promise after tomorrow, I will work on SAW.com (even if I have to open it just for news and updates) and start working on getting R&A.com a new layout, converting it to Wordpress, and updating there as well. I've just been a little busy with things. I am in the process of moving to a new state (Louisiana), finding a better job, dealing with a few health issues in the family & personally, among other things... I just want to say thank you for the continued support, and I will try my best to keep you all updated and working on the website. Thanks and feel free to submit anything or send me an e-mail. Thanks again!!!

WWE.com: Austin Talks "Tough Enough"

Source: WWE.com

The announcement that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin would host WWE Tough Enough – premiering on USA Network April 4, the night after WrestleMania XXVII – elicited roars of excitement throughout the WWE Universe. It’s that kind of reaction which has the iconic six-time WWE Champion and WWE Hall of Famer relishing the idea of stepping into a new ring of WWE competition and picking up a WWE microphone once again. And the bottom line? As he told WWE.com’s Joey Styles, Austin’s young Tough Enough charges will listen to every word he says. If they don’t, The Texas Rattlesnake has no problem going “Austin 3:16” on anyone who doesn’t pull their weight on WWE’s new reality series.

WWE.com: Why did you decide to host Tough Enough?

AUSTIN: I was just excited about being a part of WWE again. I still watch WWE, and I’m excited to have input in making future stars in the business that I’ve loved since I was 7 years old.

WWE.com: What are you looking for from the Tough Enough contestants?

AUSTIN: The name of the show is Tough Enough, but along with being “tough enough” to take the bumps, bruises and travel, you’ve got to know how to wrestle, how to talk and how to be charismatic. That being said, this show will be “tough enough,” as the name implies, and it will be physical. I am looking extremely forward to putting these young men and women through their paces. I will make sure they’re busting their asses in the ring with the trainers, and with me.

WWE.com: Who trained you, and what part of your training do you want to pass along to the Tough Enough contestants?

AUSTIN: I broke in back in 1989. I was trained by “Gentleman” Chris Adams, and it was decent training. I learned the basics. I paid my dues. I want to see the contestants pay their dues.

WWE.com: How is becoming a WWE Superstar today different than becoming a WWE Superstar when you did it?

Austin:There are only a couple of guys left in WWE who were around from the days of the regional territories. I came up through those territories. Back then, you had to scratch, fight and claw your way into the business. Some of these contestants have paid their dues and just not gotten a break. Some are just green. Regardless, we’ve got some fun and cool competitions. This is going to be a true competition to make one of these kids earn a WWE contract.

WWE.com: What if one of the Tough Enough contestants disrespects you?

AUSTIN: I wouldn’t stand for that B.S. I paid my dues. I know more about WWE than anything else in my life. It’s just not gonna happen.

Steve Austin is Back! Steve Austin to Host WWE's "Tough Enough"

It was confirmed this afternoon by Entertainment Weekly (and counter-confirmed by WWE) that Steve Austin will indeed be the new host of WWE's reality show, "Tough Enough".



From ET

EW has learned exclusively Tough Enough, the back-from-the-dead WWE reality contest series, has its new host: Stone Cold Steve Austin. The show will premiere April 4, after Monday Night Raw.

Sigh. I was so hoping there’d be some way to get Al Snow back, but I guess I will just have to, er, toughen up. Steve Austin is one of the WWE’s crossover stars — even non-wrestling fans like me are pretty familiar with him, and he obviously has plenty of on-screen experience.

What I liked so much about Snow as the mentor, though, was his ability to turn off that in-ring persona and be a strict teacher, a focused father figure, and occasional goofball. I’m hoping Austin has that same knack, and isn’t just Stone Cold Steve Austin TM with his mentees; I hope sometimes he’s just a regular dude.

From WWE.com

USA Network and WWE announced that WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will host USA Network’s upcoming reality series "WWE Tough Enough." The non-scripted series will premiere Monday, April 4 at 11/10 CT, immediately following USA’s ratings juggernaut WWE Monday Night Raw, and move to its regularly scheduled slot in primetime, Mondays at 8/7 CT, starting on April 11.

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin has captivated audiences around the world with his magnetic presence and bold, yet charming nature. Austin has done it all in sports-entertainment, winning 17 championships, including the WWE Championship six times. He has an immense and incredibly devoted fan base, and is considered one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time. Austin was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009.

"I am very excited about the opportunity to work with my old friends at WWE on 'WWE Tough Enough.' Sports-entertainment has always been an important part of my life, and I look forward to finding the next generation of WWE Superstars," said Austin.

"Stone Cold" will share his intimate knowledge, experience and flair for the stage as one of the most popular figures in WWE history to a group of individuals looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next WWE Superstar or Diva. Austin will mentor the diverse group of men and women who will live, train, eat and sleep under one roof in a house in Simi Valley, Calif. Each week, the contestants will battle it out in a series of unique challenges designed to test for such characteristics as showmanship, creativity, athleticism and desire, just to name a few. Viewers will witness the trials and tribulations of what it takes to be one of the best in the world’s greatest sports-entertainment organization. The grand prize winner will be awarded a contract with WWE.

Since leaving the world of sports-entertainment, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has made a name for himself in Hollywood, with roles in such blockbuster hits as The Expendables, staring Sylvester Stallone and The Longest Yard, starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Other film credits include Damage, The Condemned and Hunt to Kill. In addition to film, Austin is a household name from his work on hit television shows such as NBC’s Chuck and CBS’ Nash Bridges.

Shed Media US, noted for its strong characters and memorable casting in the non-scripted arena, will produce "WWE Tough Enough." The company’s previous reality credits include The Real Housewives of New York City, Who Do You Think You Are and World's Strictest Parents. Producing for Shed Media US are Alex Demyanenko and Eric Van Wagenen.

The non-scripted premiere of the show will air April 4th at 11/10 PM CT right after Monday Night RAW (ironically, this is the same day he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2009 - AND just in time to ring in SAW.com's very own, "Stone Cold Appreciation Day"!!!) The regular scheduled time will be on Mondays at 8/7 CT, starting on April 11.

So, what do you guys think about Austin returning to the wrestling business and hosting the show?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE AUSTIN!!!!

Today is Austin's 46th birthday! On behalf of myself here at SteveAustinWeb.com and all of your fans, we would like to wish you a very happy birthday! We hope your day is filled with happiness on your special day!

Awesome News... Well, Atleast I Think So! And More...

I posted this via TwitPic.com & Twitter a few days ago, and after 2 days (yeah I know, #FAIL! but my Internet connection was pissed off at me for some unknown reason and didn't want to cooperate, and we had a few weather problems here in Florida - but anyway), I thought this was truly newsworthy so here goes:

STEVE AUSTIN IS NOW OFFICIALLY FOLLOWING STEVEAUSTINWEB.COM ON TWITTER... I was lucky #31 (really!?) to be followed by the Texas Rattlesnake himself! Cool, hun?

Excerpt from Interview

"Quite frankly if I hadn't got dropped on my head back in '97, I'd probably still be in the ring. In life you gotta play the cards you're dealt with. I love the wrestling business but it was time for me to go down the road. You know what, in 10, 20 years I still want to be able to go hunt, fish and do all the things that I do in a pain free fashion. Had I stayed in the ring with the very violent physical work style that I had, I wouldn't be in very good shape." STEVE AUSTIN (excerpt from his interview with TWP's Darren Wood).
