Stone Cold Steve Austin concerned about WWE WrestleMania 31 main event

You can add Stone Cold Steve Austin to the list of people that are worried about how the WrestleMania main event is going to play out

Despite the strong promo from Paul Heyman on Monday night, there are still a lot of people concerned that the WrestleMania 31 main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns just simply is not going to work. Well, if you really want this point driven home, Stone Cold Steve Austin is on this list of people.

During an episode of his podcast on Tuesday, Austin had PW Torch editor Wade Keller on as a guest and the subject of the main event was obviously brought up.

Well, this is where Austin expressed a concern that made a ton of sense.

"Steve Austin: Still, if you went down that road, if you position [Roman Reigns] as a heel, you still got to work around the move set, you still got to work around the work rate of which, you know, at this time, quite frankly, he just does not possess.Wade Keller: Is it easier Steve to work if you’re as limited as Reigns is, is it easier to work as a heel or a face do you think with the skill set he’s put on display for you?Steve Austin: It’s not an ideal situation either way, but I would venture to say as a heel, if you just cheat, kick and stomp, but with that being said you’re not going to be the guy leading that match because you don’t have any instincts to lead that match, and with everything that I love about Brock Lesnar who is a good friend of mine leading that match is not his forte. He’s great in there with a great guy that can work and dictate, the dude is phenomenal, we’re about to get to that match in a second, but yeah those two in the ring there’s not a tried and true, established bona fide ring general who can feel the pulse of that crowdand respond accordingly."

That is an aspect of all this that really hasn’t been talked about. While there are a lot of people that don’t want to see this match, there was still the chance that the two could go in there and have an awesome match, cancelling out all the hate by the time that the night was over.

But the problem is, there will be no “ring general” in there when these two go at it. While Brock is loads of fun to watch when he’s in there, the fact remains that he still needs someone to call the match for him. Roman, needless to say, is not anywhere near that level, like Austin expressed here.
