Chris Jericho vs. Steve Austin At ‘Mania?, Austin Confirmed For RAW

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (F4WOnline.com)

» The original plan for WrestleMania 25 was Chris Jericho vs. Mickey Rourke in some form of boxing match, with Ric Flair in the corner of Rourke. That may still happen, but if Rourke ends up not coming back into the angle, there are two ways the angle could go. The first is the Jericho vs. Flair match, which has been teased on the last few weeks of RAW but does not appear likely after this weeks show where Flair appeared live. The second is a match between Chris Jericho and Steve Austin which has actually been talked about a lot lately. Austin reportedly says Jericho is one of the few people he would trust to have a match with at this point, and also, it would play into Jericho’s recent promo work, where he made fun of “washed up Hall of Famers.” Austin is about 50/50 right now and NOTHING is confirmed at this point. Stay tuned.

» It should also be noted that as of last word, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is booked to appear at Raw tapings in Nashville (2/23) and San Antonio (3/16).
