Stone Cold Steve Austin recently sounded off on the current state of WWE, and the words that he had were not very kind.
Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the greatest of all-time to ever step into a professional wrestling ring, but much like the fans, he has become frustrated with the current product. He recently made this very clear.
On a recent addition of his podcast, Austin was asked about WWE at the moment and the lack of wrestling, and the Rattlesnake was up front when voicing his displeasure.
"You can you put it under the umbrella of ‘sports entertainment’ but when two guys or two gals get in a 20-by-20 squared circle and start wrestling, it is professional wrestling and that is the end of the story. Yes, it would be great to see… I’m all about yeah, we know it’s a work, but we all want to believe. In a world that’s a work, all you can do when the storylines aren’t so great, make the people believe in you. But that being said, here’s the thing: WWE is its own world. They say ‘WWE Universe,’ so whatever they create and put out there is what they create and put out there. So create and put out something that people can buy in to on a serious note, and don’t make it the three-ring circus that it’s become, and let it be wrestling."
There are a lot of people that agree with this sentiment from the former champion, and he probably is right. The lack of in-ring action at times becomes annoying, and it flat out bores the traditional wrestling audience.
What do you think? Is is too much “entertainment?” Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
