Stone Cold's 2002 Walkout On The WWE

[L 0 T T 0]

Thinking about it - the whole walk out, and not wanting to lose to Brock Lesnar - might have been a work. I mean, Stone Cold retired shortly after he did make his way back to the WWE in 2003. So maybe this was just all a big story to spark interest into the company and make us all anticipate a huge Austin Return - which like i said - happened in 2003. During this "walkout" Stone Cold was able to rest, and decide what to do with the remainder of his career.

Thoughts?

Oh god..Not this "it must be a work" bull.

Everything that happens in wrestling isn't a work.

I suppose Droz not being able to walk ever again is a work and does it just to get his disability checks, eh?

Droz is just a gimmick. Almost as bad as Hexus.

And no. If they made a storyline out of it, then obviously it'd be a work. But otherwise, no.

Umm - they did make a storyline out of it brother. They talked about it every second they had the chance.

Lmfao, thats not making a storyline out of it. Vince felt betrayeled so he put it out there on what happend, then ever had a magazine issue about it

Seriously, if one of your biggest money makers walked out n you, it would be pretty tough to keep it a secret

It wasn't a work. WF needs to stop thinking everything in the wrestling world is a work. Austin walked out and while I don't think walking out was the best choice I do agree with him about how he was being misused. He was still the most over guy in the company but was working mid card feuds. Austin had no problem putting Brock over, he just didn't want to do it without some kind of build up. Which I agree with. If you're gonna put a new comer like Brock over Stone Cold it shouldn't happen on any average RAW and there should be some kind of build behind it.
