AEW has many pro wrestling legends, but Steve Austin is not a part of the company. That isn’t for lack of trying.
AEW Unrestricted recently invited Brian Pillman Jr. onto the show as a guest. The Varsity Blondes member said that he’s tried reaching out to “Stone Cold” about having a role, but he hasn’t heard back yet. The ultimate goal is for the Texas Rattlesnake to come in and coach them.
“I’ve attempted to reach out to Steve a couple of times. I haven’t heard back yet. My ultimate ploy is that he would be our coach. He would come out of the curtain in a tracksuit and a whistle. He’s making us do drills before the match like a Drill Sergeant. We would always be ready. We would always be warmed up. We would have a mean angry coach to rile us up and then we wouldn’t fail because we would know that if we lost the match, we were going to get reamed at. I think he would be a good motivator for us and he would help us get our act together.”
Steve Austin has a pretty good relationship with WWE right now. Vince McMahon might not pick up his phone calls, and he didn’t get call about coming in for WrestleMania. At least McMahon approved Chris Jericho’s appearance on the Broken Skull Sessions.
