Going on 10 years with WrestleZone
For those who haven't read yet, Stone Cold Steve Austin is hosting Monday Night Raw a mere 2 weeks out from Wrestlemania this year.
Here are a few reasons why Stone Cold Steve Austin would make a load of sense as the special guest referee for a potential Hart / McMahon Wrestlemania altercation.
1. Austin and McMahon's feud is legendary - perhaps the only feud in recent memory that rivals that or Hart / McMahon. Having Austin and McMahon in the ring together, even as participant and referee, is something neat to see, ESPECIALLY at Wrestlemania.
2. Austin and Hart's feud is almost legendary - remember it was the Hart / Austin Wrestlemania match that contained the now infamous "double-turn" and also signified a passing of the WWF torch to Stone Cold. For the 365 days following the submission match loss to Hart, Austin carried the momentum from the match straight to a Royal Rumble win and a first WWF Title one year later.
3. Austin as a ref in a street fight? Makes perfect sense. Maybe he will offer one of them a microphone wire to choke the other one with.
4. Takes emphasis off of Hart's performance. Ring rust. Stroke recovery. There are a few concerns about Hart going into this match, even placing age aside. Austin's presence would take some of the focus off of what Bret is ABLE to do.
5. A potential feel-great ending. We all know that Hart and Austin are close. Austin inducted Bret into the HOF. But a match ending of McMahon tapping to the Sharpshooter and Austin stunning the chairman, followed by Austin having a Budweiser and Hart having a Molson? Would be worth it.
