Steve Austin vs. Brock Lesnar At WrestleMania 28?

[Outsiders]

– WWE’s website has been “campaigning” for the company to bring back the Hardcore Title this year and now they’re asking them to bring back Shawn Michaels. The website has a new article up talking about how Shawn should return because of the recent events between his friends, Kevin Nash and Triple H.

 

– People within WWE are openly talking about Brock Lesnar vs. Steve Austin. While Austin is not in the plans for WrestleMania 28, it’s said that he is open to wrestling CM Punk in the future if Punk is a top heel but his number one choice for a return match would be against Lesnar.

I don't want to see the Hardcore Title brought back. It was a joke of a title to begin with.

[Dark Horse]

Agreed. Also, how can they be Hardcore with a 12 rating? Hardcore lite? Puhlease.

The Austin vs Lesner feud won't happen inless Brock jobs to Steve. Other wise Austin wont have the match. The hardcore title is a waste in pg ratings

I don't think Brock / Austin would be a good match. I'm personally not interested in it at all. The outcome would be too predictable, and wouldn't help to promote anyone that is actually still in the organization.

 

As for the Hardcore title, I don't see why they couldn't bring it back. It was already a watered down version of hardcore before. I've see chair shots on the current programming. I've seen plenty of foreign objects. I don't remember the hardcore title being much more hardcore than that back in the day. They usually saved the thumbtacks and the like for stuff like PPVs anyway. This title has pretty much been a joke for some time now. And the 24/7 rule while intriguing, helped to make it more of a joke with a guy like Crash Holly being champ and running around in playgrounds. If they bring it back, it'll basically just mean no DQ matches with falls counting anywhere. Not too much about that to put it over the PG rating.
