"Stone Cold and WWE go seperate ways..?"

As reported, Steve Austin was not at RAW Monday. We now have it on good word that Austin had entered contract negotiations with WWE and last Friday his lawyer met with WWE to discuss a new contract. Austin reportedly wanted more flexibility and more control over angles he is involved in. Vince McMahon wanted absolute control and a piece of Stone Cold’s side action, much like he had during The Rock’s early film career.

From what we’re being told, it seems that Vince simply blew by these demands, wanted to move on in negotiations but Austin’s lawyer took offense and would not let it go. The meeting reportedly ended badly, and as of this report, it appears that Austin is gone from WWE until further notice.

Another one of these situations with Austin and WWE? Bah gawd!

Austin for TNA! ;c)

TNA RULEZ!!! Cos it has all of the good old WWE stars like Jeff Jerret, D'lo Brown and others also soon to be Hulk Hogan. Also they have AJ styles!

*ahem*

TNA is utterly awful.

Nuff said.

Vince can't afford to be doing that though. He's already lost a load of top talent the last thing he needs right now is one of his biggest draws, if not the biggest, leaving. He should recognise exactly what Austin has done for him and his company and give him whatever he wants

Austin will never be a part of the TNA roster while Jerry Jarrett is in charge, and none of the indies can afford to pay him what he wants...Vince knows this and is playing brinksmanship with him.

An example of how over he is being Wrestlemania XX...

As DW said, I hope he doesn't work things out with Vince, and ends up helping TNA get a TV deal.

Oh wait......Jeff Jarrett+Steve Austin=Bad News!
It might be to do with Debra, I am not sure.

But, yeah hopefully TNA get a deal with Fox Sports(it's apparently a "done deal") for a Monday Night show, that'll force WWE to put an end to the brand extension nonsense. huzzah!

Vince is such a fool. Austin doesn't even wrestle anymore but he's still SO over with the fans and sells loads of merchandise. Like you've all said, he's one of the main reasons to watch RAW. Lets hope he stays.

Yeah, hopefully they'll give him whatever he wants so he stays. He is probably one of the most entertaining people on RAW.

Austin sells lots of merchandise so Austin has the WWE over a barrel, although Austin wants the 'Stone Cold' name just like The Rock has 'The Rock'. Vince isn't willing to let it go, just in case Austin makes it big in movies so Vince can get a piece of the pie.

Taken from NoDQ.com

On April 12th, an article in the National Enquirer is scheduled to accuse Austin of numerous domestic assaults. It will accuse him of beating his ex-wife so badly that she fled to a battered women's institute.

Have you ever heard of a 'battered women's institue?
