So it was announced Stone Cold is hosting a version of his podcast on the Network next Monday and is promising not to shy from the difficult questions.
Will this be Vince's first "Shoot Interview?"
In some ways, no... there are going to be subjects off limits and as it's a WWE hosted production, they are gonna be calling the shots and giving the red lines out. We won't get many answers on the "holy grail" type questions like "What happened with Randy and Steph" or "Did you really lose a third of your fortune?"
But within the frames of the WWF, once the "work" aspect they have to fill is covered, I do get the sense this might be Vince opening up a bit on some subjects. I expect some kind of major announcement or similar during it, otherwise it's pointless. Either Austin get's offered the GM role or more likely, Vince announces Randy Savage as the first inductee into the next HOF class.
I can imagine Austin asking some "impertinent" questions, perhaps even calling him on some things and Vince responding.
What would YOU want Austin to ask Vince?
For me I'd want to know exactly why he "killed" WCW back in 2001, when conventional wisdom, logic and common sense said to keep both companies for at least a year.
I'd ask details on Punk. Even if it was confirmation that he didn't breach any contracts, if he took time off owed etc... It might be a good chance to put it to bed.
I'd want to know WHEN Vince is going to retire or if he is going to sell... and I think this is the most likely for Austin to ask. He is visibly aging and it's clear something needs to happen after the "rough year" WWE has had. Of course that's an obvious lead in to the aforementioned GM role announcement but I think asking if he'd sell his stake the company is a fair question.
So what do you guys think? What would you ask? If an announcement is gonna be made, what would it be?
