Updates On WWE/Steve Austin Situation: Cena “Infuriating” Austin?
PWInsider reports that even though there have been public denials, there are still issues between WWE and Steve Austin.
During Wrestlemania week, WWE sent a cease and desist letter to ProWrestlingTees.com about Steve Austin items in their official store that they sell for him. Several of the Austin items that were up for sale are no longer available.
Meanwhile, the website suggests that John Cena is using the springboard stunner as a way to “infuriate Austin”. Austin, former WWE creative team member and documentarian Chris Bell, and his brother Mark (Bigger, Stronger, Faster) said the move was “gimmick infringement on Austin’s podcast. Austin then spoke about why the move shouldn’t be used as Cena was using it.
The issues between the two led to Austin not attending Wrestlemania weekend. As previously reported, WWE had a flight booked, but Austin didn’t show up. Austin turning down the new season of Tough Enough was said to be a big reason for their curent situation. He said on his podcast he turned it down due to scheduling issues with his reality show on CMT.
