Stone Cold in Today's Product
« on: January 15, 2016, 11:38:40 AM »
Would Austin still have been a main draw say 2005 until now if he hadn't retired? I think he would have great feuds with Punk, Brock, Cesaro and Owens..... but the middle finger days would probably have diminished.

Not really because by then his age and and neck injury had caught up to him. Remember also, in 2005 you had a few sharks still in the tank that were worth watching. Kurt Angle, Benoit (before he went berzerk), Eddie Geurerro, Jericho, HHH was in his prime, Batista, Orton, etc. You had so many angles you could work with great talent. Now its all guys that are rushed from NXT, thrown into the main event spotlight and then lost into oblivion. The current formula has been proven poor.

I think the PG era climate would suppress the ethos and success of his character.

Most wrestling success stories are a case of "right place, right time."
