Due to his new WWE Films project, "The Condemned" set for release in April, legendary WWE superstar "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be making his highly anticipated return to WWE television shortly.
The current plan at this point is to integrate Austin back into some sort of regular storyline, as to get use out of him at WrestleMania 23, to co-promote with his movie project in April.
More details on this story as we receive them.

Yeah, thats pretty much given.
Also, if you notice, he's the only former star in that "Ladies and Gentlemen" Wrestlemania video who is spliced in with the current guys.
It starts off showing old WM clips, guys like Hogan, Andre, Rock, etc., then it goes to clips from last years WM, with Austin mixed in everywhere.

I don't know about "highly anticipated", but it'll be interesting to see what they do with him.

Austin could be the "guest reforee" for Batista vs. Undertaker I don't see him being on Smackdown. I could see him in the middle of Hogan/Trump/Vince/Khali though. |

They need all the big talent they need to sell out Ford Field. They sold the initial 50,000 and are looking for 78,000 but I think they can get up to 90,000. I can see the recent budget cuts and the fact that they've already made 4.34 million from ticket sales being incentives for Austin, Hogan, Rock, Uecker, etc.

Raw might be worth watching again with Austin returning. What would make it even better is if he gave Cena a few stunners while there ;D
I know it probably won't happen...but there's nothing wrong with hoping though ;D

f*** YEAH. Finally. Maybe he will even wrestle a match.
Eh. Doubtful. But I can't wait to see him back.

I SO want Austin vs. Cena. That would be a hell of a WM main event for next year. I know it probably won't happen but I hope they start to tease something between the two of them..

If this is true, I channel Ron Simmons and I say...
DAMN!
It wasn't enough having Hogan looming all over WrestleMania (and over the whole WWE), now we have another broken down Icon around. And he has a movie coming out, so there's no way we can get spared another useless run down Memory Lane (and Sunset Boulevard).
Austin's appearence on RAW Homecoming was beyond boring and awful, but no... let's cream our pants to the sole idea of another shortest-term program for easy bucks and no gain in the big scheme of things...
Way to go WWE!!!
If I MUST get bored, I'd rather watch Orton or Cena or Umaga... at least there's the (remote?) chance they can actually IMPROVE and finally get interesting...
Watching Austin delivering stunners left and right, kickink-punching and flipping his opponent (that's what's left of his moveset), drinking beer and blabbing the same old catchphrases... that's old hat. Been there, seen that and I know that's going nowehere. So why bother?

In other news, Austin has already walked out after being asked to job in a match no one will really care about in the grand scheme of things.

Ya cause Booking was so smart to have no build up for Brock vs SCSA a match I would've paid money to see, and yes he isn't losing to a stupid anouncer either who was gonna use the help with a very fat vader, and Goldust on his 78th return!! |

You still do your job like a professional, not walk out like a freakin' prima donna. Sometimes, you do a job you don't wanna do. Austin's been around long enough to know that. |
