When WrestleMania 39 came and went without so much as a cameo from “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, fans wondered why the “Rattlesnake” opted against making his return to the ring at “The Showcase of the Immortals.” Was he too busy with his new television “Stone Cold Takes on America?” Could he not get in shape […]

Why didn’t “Stone Cold” Steve Austin appear on either night of WrestleMania 39? Did he have other commitments? Was he slinging Broken Skull IPAs in El Segundo like he did on 3:16 days?

While The Undertaker is no longer an active wrestler, his post-wrestling career has been absolutely overloaded with interesting insights into a 30-plus year career filled with ups and downs, so much so that he literally has a one (dead) man show to detail many of these stories to the WWE faithful. Taking part in an […]

Paul Heyman doesn’t think Roman Reigns gets the respect he deserves from the WWE Universe and the greater professional wrestling world as a whole.
