Stone Cold should at least make an appearance tonight, and maybe throw around some good 'ole Stunners. The very fact that he himself said he's closing the door on the wrestling gig saddens me, but being the gigantic SCSA fan that I am, I will support him in all future endeavors. I hope he comes out with another movie soon.
However, what he said last night: Does that actually mean that he won't be making anymore WWE appearances?

Maybe I am looking too much into this, but Stone Cold called John Cena over to him when he had some beers in his hands then gave one to John Cena. Was that a sign of passing the torch? Granted Austin has been done with wrestling for some time, but Austin like what they said the one to bring the industry out from what it was, so was that sign saying that Cena is the next person to bring the industry up another level?

It was the Top guy of the last era showing respect to the Top Guy of the new era. It was definitely the passing of the theoretical torch. If cena was as child friendly as they say he is he would've refused and said he doesn't give in to peer pressure =) Stupid PG ratings

Passing the torch? Yea right. The flame on that torch went out years ago. WWE has killed the business.
