You would if they were doing an actual match. Considering they're basically doing a glorified promo yeah save Austin for the actual show.

I can't get enough of the tremendous work that goes into these video thumbnails. They are always hilarious

Jim's ability to no-scope promos that would rip the roof off any arena is just so fuckin' cool.

Can't be mad it wasn't really Austin unless you went because he was advertised. Also, it's not an advertised match for WM. It's an interview segment that's being advertised. No need to get fired up.

Jim cornette dropped some fire!!!! Drop that promo into a edited Owen's vs stone cold wm promo and it's instant gold! Goosebumps

I watched Steve Austin in the 90s as a kid. To answer Brian's question I did look into wrestling history and knew who the big stars like Andre the giant and Bruno Sammartino were. I didn't even have the internet at the time so kids today have no excuse if they really want to find things out.

This was easily one of the best segments on RAW in a long time if not wrestling in general. KO worked the fans masterfully, the pops for "Austin" were real and KO channeled 100% Shawn Michaels in Montreal. Plus the fact this worked Tazz claiming KO ripped off AEW was just comical. This is why KO is getting to do something with Austin, he is clearly having the time of his life. This is why when that glass shatters in Texas at Mania it will blow every other pop out of the water, including "Happy-To-Be-Here" Punk in Chicago.

KO didn’t rip off AEW here. This was fucking great though, solid segment. But.. it still isn’t quite up there with the Punk & MJF promos.

@@jon_3013 You're right, Owens segment is actually better. That was legit heat and hate towards him. Keep in mind that WWE's audience is mostly based on casual fans, since their marketing and exposure is no match for AEW and AEW consists in a niche of fans. Getting real heat from casual fans is just that much better in my book.

It won't beat the reaction to Punk's return. Stone Cold hasn't been gone that long. He's made many 'glass breaking' appearances over the years. And they've diluted the glass break already with KO doing it. There will be a big pop. But it won't be as sustained or joyful as Punk's.

Hey jim, please continue to tell us how you would do segments or promos in future reviews. They are quickly becoming my favourite part of your reviews

Every time I see Kevin Owens I think someone let a fan into the ring.

I’m not a Kevin Owens fan at all but I lmao’ed so hard. 💀😂

I started watching in 2000, so an equivalent for me is _Roddy Piper._ I never saw him wrestle, but I sure knew he meant something due to how others revered him, and he *_SHOWED_* me why whenever he did a promo or 'match' with a current star.

21, knew of the legend of stone cold as kid , didn’t get back into wrestling again until recently and watched the attitude era. The aura spoke for himself through the generations

I was at Allstate Arena for Raw and I can tell you that the fans were really pissed at Owens. He drew major heat throughout the segment. The second time the glass broke, that crowd pop was even louder. I even stood up. The crowd started chanting “ASSHOLE!” KO’s segment was the best opening on Raw in a long time. I do have to admit it. Jim’s suggestion on what he wanted KO to say and do also would have worked.

Did this guy seriously just ask if Stone Cold is big enough and if everyone knows about him? Wow proved me wrong, sorry he is better when he just says he is not paying attention or mutes his TV.

I was so waiting for this! Steen v Cornette never gets old. Throw in an awesome Cornette promo and this is golden.

This was hilarious from Kevin Owens people brought it after hearing that broken glass thinking “Oh My He’s Here” until it was foolish move to fool the crowd.

a lot of the youngsters probably know who he is through unlocking him as a legend in every xbox or ps game theyve ever had

No one has mentioned hbk doing the music hitting gag with Bret Hart's theme back in the day. He did it twice as well.

I'm 23. And while we obviously know austin, i can't have fake nostalgia for a guy i never seen live growing up. The best way to put my emotions is "eh that's cool i guess". It doesn't make me want to go out of my way to watch wrestlemania

You absolutely can have nostalgia for things you've never seen in person. Your ancestors' memories are logged in your DNA.

He looked like freaking Will Sasso in 2002 cosplaying as Stone Cold. Lmfao.

Well, now we know Travis could draw an accurate Conrad if ever called upon 😎

I didn't watch it live because I wasn't home but when I saw the clip, I had goosebumps. 20+ years later, I still get excited hearing his music hit. My nephew is 8 and even he knows who Austin is bcuz of the games. Brian sounds bitter as always...still waiting for that momentum huh lol

Punk did the best impersonation when he acted like Jeff hardy. Jeff was active competitor. He got a ton of heat etc.

For Brian's question at 1:50- I can answer this. I am a younger fan, I'm 20 years old, and I always knew who Stone Cold was. I didn't know what his career trajectory was, but I knew of him as a big thing. Same thing about Hogan, until I was a fan on the internet, I didn't know exactly who Hogan was, but I did know that he was a big deal as a former wrestler.

Dude is just some big, lame, sloppy dude with nothing interesting to offer. Doesn’t have the look, the vibe, nothing. How did he ever get over on any level.

Even if you didn't live through Stone Cold's era, there's this thing that we're on at this moment called youtube where you can easily find hours upon hours of high quality footage. It's not like 30 years ago where you literally don't have any footage (or just limited, low quality footage) of wrestling past greats so it's all by word of mouth. Every wrestling fan knows who Stone Cold is, not a good take.

I’ll admit I only got into watching wrestling footage the other year or so. Crazy I know but I’ve watched plenty of clips involving Steve Austin. Even I can see how people consider him the GOAT of wrestling

If u wanna know if people remember Austin just listen to the pop when his music played during this segnent

Lol Austin technically retired 20 years ago but he was still around well after his in ring career ended. He was Co-GM with Bishoff then he was the Sheriff & after that made so many appearances so fans would still get to see him from time to time

It was great. Owens's segment was easily better than an entire AEW show, nowadays. Before marks jump on me, I have to say that I watch both, at least the highlights, since the product went downhill, but you can't deny that as bad as WWE is as we speak, they still got those little things and fine touches, that AEW don't seem to understand.

I'm 31 (born in 1990) and at 8-10 years old, i was there to see the rise of Austin and the great video games of that era. From 1998-2000 were the best years for me. I was aware of Sean Michaels and he was my favorite wrestler, but he wasn't doing much at that time from what I remember--I only knew of his stuff from buying old VHS tapes from earlier on in the 90s. Also, Shawn Michaels was always a secret character in the video games at the time, so his influence was still pretty much there. I can't imagine anyone younger than me having much of a memory of that time.

This was hilarious. He actually got me the 2nd time. When Thug Cena came back at that one WM I was convinced it was Punk because they showed footage of Babe Ruth and the Apollo mission. I love that Im able to fall for wwe trolling still.
