Absolutely. After living my whole life here... i'd gladly shovel snow and sweat in COLD weather working, than hot. I remember many of days in the Florida sun in the summer with a shovel, or work gloves, burning brush with a lit cig hanging out of my mouth with the only escape being the straw Cowboy hat on my head and thinking it felt like working in Hell. Especially when you were downwind of the fire.

I still think all of that can be contributed to not having more creative control. I would call it unprofessional, but i'm sorry... Austin jobbing to Lesnar with no setup... I would've fucking no showed too.

Just the way I see it.

I did hate the Debra stuff, and obviously thought it was forced. Debra was talentless imo, but Steve wasn't the only one that did it either. Jerry Lawler was another. I think the longevity and popularity of those Steve-written bits during that 2001-02 period pretty much has vindicated that he was right all these years.

The drunk thing... seriously? It was apart of his schtick. The fans adored it, he knew it, and even if he did it he gave the audience it's money's worth. I understand the crew wants to go home 2-3 hours after the show, and Steve is a selfish prick and stays out there shootin' and drinkin' and getting wasted, but I think the audience and their dollar is more important. He's entertaining. It's just good business.

He's Axl. Or the Elvis of wrasslin'. And although he seems like a headcase, the dude was a total rockstar.

And as for "he refused to job to anyone"... I have literally no clue what you're talking about. I saw TONS and TONS of Austin  losses. The dude basically put The Rock on the map. Even The Rock said that, and it's because he jobbed to him.

I want to personally in advance say hello to all of the spambots that will inevitably return.

Hello, i'm Axlin (for a low price, try www.fuckoff.com)

So did anything leak?
