When fans saw Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk face-to-face promoting a WWE video game, speculation exploded about a possible dream match. It was teased. The attitude was there. But according to Austin himself, it just didnt come together and he now explains why.
The WWE Hall of Famer sat down with Chris Van Vliet for a long-form interview where the subject came up. While Austin didnt shoot down the idea, he confirmed it wasnt close to becoming reality due to real-life timing and recovery issues.
Austin was straightforward about the reality of these situations. Sometimes, dream matches simply dont materialize.
Despite all the what-ifs and hype, this is one match that will likely never be scratched off the fantasy list. Stone Colds comments put to rest the rumors that a match was ever close. It was pitched in fantasy and maybe teased in a promo but nothing real ever developed. Want to see this one happen even now?
