PWInsider: On Punk, Austin commented, "Maybe Punk’s not the guy to go against. He needs to pick up his intensity. We’ll have to see what I do, I’m happy now doing what I am. In a perfect world, where I could step back into the ring for one last match I would be willing to have that discussion with management. I do miss the business and working a live crowd, going out there and wrestling your hearts out. I’m still in contact with a few of the guys. I speak to Kevin Nash the most, Nash and I talk about once a week. I also keep in contact with Jericho, Punk and Cena, but not as often. I’m not a big phone or email guy and they are always on the road or doing their thing." pwinsider.com/article/67786/steve-austin-answers-whether-well-see-him-wrestle-cm-punk.html?p=1He said more in the interview, but I thought I'd post the smark-bait. So is this more fodder for their eventual feud, and honest assessment of where Punk stands right now or just Steve getting annoyed at answering about a hundred Punk questions each day? Or does Austin maybe have someone else in mind for his "last match?"

I'm inclined to agree, if only because the only interest Austin / Punk holds for me at all is if Punk's doing his evil straight edge cult leader thing, and at this point in time it'd be moronic for him to go back to it.

Well Austin isn't someone to mix his words maybe he just seems someone else as a better return match.
But then again Austin may just be messin with everyone that keeps bringing Punk up.
Can't really be sure as IMO Austin isn't one to care to "work" the IWC.

Has Austin been watching CM Punk recently?

Seems like a friendly dig at Punk. Nothing more. Honestly I don't see Austin working another match. Like Shawn he seems happy with retirement and wouldn't want to make the huge effort to get ready for another match.

Probably just a light dig at Punk, because I'm willing to bet about 75% of everything he deals with on Twitter is answering "When will you and Punk fight?" questions?

Part of me is kinda expecting to see Austin back for next year, and then for him and Rock to do some sort of stare down.

Wrestlemania XXX - Rock/Austin at WM again Well if the dirtsheets are to be believed, ideas for Rock/Brock for the WWE title were thrown around, so this isn't exactly outside the realm of possibility... Also, while I wouldn't complain if we got it, I don't necessarily see the appeal of Punk vs. Austin.

IMO Punk/Austin would only work if Punk was still the crazy straightedge cult leader guy.

I'm really hoping Austin's just saying this to light a fire under Punk's ass and get him really going.

Well of course he is starting to think less of Punk, he talks to Nash more than anyone

I can't remember where but I saw an interview with Cena where he was asked who he wanted to face in a big match situation after he's faced the Rock, and he said Stone Cold.
The interviewer brought up that it seemed like something Punk was interested in doing - and Cena smiled and said 'Well, its definitely something I'd put my hat in the middle of as well'

If Austin has got one more fight in him and just one more fight then maybe there's someone it will benifet more than CM Punk, Punks already at a high level, going over Austin would cement his place but wouldnt exactly propel him to an extremely higher place like it might for someone like Ziggler or Kofi or anyone else in the upper midcard who'd probably break through to main eventer status. Hell Daniel Bryan would benifit much more than Cm Punk. the battle of yes V What.

Honestly, I'll not be disappointed if I never see Austin vs. Punk.

THese questions are really annoying even to me. Its like austins life is an after thought to CM Punk in every interview. I can just imagine stupid fans walking up to him an asking "Are you gonna face CM Punk?" Before even saying hello, or how are you doing. I feel so bad because the guy is so interesting, and if i had the chance to speak to him for an hour id want to know some good stories.

Punk doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as Austin.
