Stone Cold’s Podcast

Many people have wondered if WWE had given any sort of direction to Stone Cold Steve Austin regarding on what and what not to ask Vince McMahon during his podcast.

Kevin Dunn, directors or any other WWE officials did not tell Stone Cold to shy away from any topics, which is most likely why Vince McMahon answered questions regarding The Undertaker or CM Punk.

Alberto Del Rio To TNA?

TNA has reportedly made an offer to Alberto Del Rio. The deal is a one year deal worth about $400,000.

TNA is reportedly asking for exclusivity, which causes an issue because of Del Rio’s plans to work with El Rey and AAA’s Lucha Underground in 2015.

If TNA wants to get Del Rio, they may have to drop the request for exclusivity or add more money to their offer. TNA is trying to sell Del Rio on the idea that he will have more US TV exposure with TNA than with anyone else.

John Gaburick had a close working relationship with Del Rio in WWE.
