Well, if Vince Russo thinks that there’s heat between two people then there must be, right? I kid (kinda). Russo spoke with WrestleTalkTV recently and talked about the alleged issues between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon which supposedly led to Austin’s podcast being pulled from the WWE Network in favor of Chris Jericho’s. Austin has claimed several times on his audio podcast that there were no issues and that it involved scheduling problems that couldn’t be resolved; Austin’s podcast is returning to the Network on a monthly basis starting June 1st.
Check out highlights and video of the interview below:
On if he thinks the issues are real: “I do. I don’t have any insight. Austin does not need Vince McMahon by any stretch of the imagination. Austin’s not the kind of guy who is going to fall in line to Vince McMahon, wait for the phone to ring. If there’s some type of disagreement when it comes to money, Steve Austin isn’t the kind of person who’s going to fall in line. When I worked with him he wasn’t that type of guy.”
On if it may have had to do with certain guests Austin has had on the audio show: “I don’t think so. Steve had me on his show and I’m sure Vince wouldn’t like that, but it’s Steve Austin’s podcast. At the end of the day, Steve Austin’s going to have who he wants on his podcast. There’s a lot of those things Vince doesn’t like, but he’s not going to control a guy like Steve Austin. He’s a straight shooter, and I can easily see heat between he and Vince McMahon because he won’t fall in line.”
