Austin's Gone, and so am I

[The Nature Boy]

Well, the downward spiral continues of World Wrestling Federtainment. In Jim Ross' 6/13 report, he confirms that Austin is gone from the WWE, due to his decision to leave WWE television this week. More or less, WWE's position is that Austin is in the wrong here, and we should direct any and all venom toward him. Well they can go fuck themselves with that mentality. There was one holy trinity that popped wrestling big time again in the late 1990's, Austin, Foley and the Rock. Austin is the last to leave, and as far as I'm concerned, I'll leave with him. I enjoyed the first few Hogan matches, but even he won't keep me around. Insufferably overused and over exposed HHH? Shawn Michaels, the MANAGER? The Taker?

At the end of the day, I blame HHH for this crap. His posturing to be the top face, when he didn't earn it, relegated Austin to this crap. Austin is still the most over face, and the company sold him down the river for the boss' daughter boyfriend, and an arthrtic 48 year old. I hope those couple of buyrates were worth costing them the biggest money maker since Hogan in his prime. If this isn't a work, I"m taking a break. I"m not naive enough to say I'll give it up for good, but there is nothing appealing about them right now.

I wll miss Austin but people got to stop bleaming
other guys when a certain wrestler leaves. Austin
still had good stry lines going.... Just because he
was not going for the title for a bit he went crazy
and left sheesh. If HHH or Micheles or Hogan did
something like this we would all they arre all
A-Holes. Maybe Austin is the A-hole and it is time
for him to pass the torch for just a bit.....

Could be a work, could be a shoot. Still too early to tell, even though it all looks real.

Oh, and while HHH may not be behind this mess, the bastard will most certainly use it to even further cement his power in the WWF. They've recently kicked him out of the production meetings because it was beginning to leak how he would do nothing but badmouth other wrestlers there.

Just because he
was not going for the title for a bit he went crazy
and left sheesh.

To be fair, none of us really know that. There's a lot of "Austin is selfish! Screw him!" sentiment going on right now, but so far all we'll get to hear is a one-sided story from the WWF. Until Austin can come forward and tell his side of things, why he left, I'm gonna reserve judgement upon him.

Because I don't take anything the WWF says for face value.

Auston was the best thing the WWE had and by him walking out I think their Raw ratings will severly drop....aside from the fact that other than Vince and Hogan, Auston had the most effect on the way wrestling is looked at today <P>

All will be revealed in time.

I say its a work. As I said last night to a slew of board members, wait for a run-in somehow in the main event of the upcoming PPV.

And if I'm wrong, so be it.

If not say goodbye to the "WHAT?" and say hello to GOLDBERG!

This has got to be a work!How convenient there is already a piece done for confidential and you know what, I love Austin but if he is leaving then he is selfish,he is going to abandon the company that made him at its lowest point like he is some kind of whore,on top of that he is pissed he was going to lose to Lesner?Well Shawn Michaels jobbed to Austin with a broken back just to pass the torch to Austin,I cant believe a guy like Austin would walk out and thats it.Maybe he will show up on wednesday for NWA.

I'm leaning towrds work at this point, but who know. I do think that if Austin felt he was gonna be he next Bret Hart and held up as a sacrifice, then yeah, I'd leave too.

If Austin really is gone WHAT NOW? Will he join an upstart fed or just retire?

[Se7en]

Looks like Austin IS gone from the WWF.

At this point, there's probably nothing left but retirement.

Austin hates Jarrett, he'd never work for him.
