For years, WWE fans have dreamed of a match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk, the two greatest antiheroes of their respective eras. Unfortunately, it has never come to pass, but that hasn't stopped various outlets from asking each man about it.
The Boston Herald spoke to Stone Cold recently and Austin responded by saying he would bring out the best in the "Best in the World."
"I could get more out of that guy than anybody else walking Planet Earth," said Austin. "He could have that ultimate 'Come to Jesus' meeting with me. Punk's been around for a long time and he's a smart guy, but he never stepped into a damn squared circle with the intensity of a guy like Stone Cold Steve Austin."
Austin has confirmed both on his podcast and through TMZ that he will be at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. He said on The Steve Austin Show that he would be at the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony on Saturday night alongside Jim Ross. He also reportedly showed up at JR's one-man show earlier in the week.
Stone Cold has not said what, if any, official capacity he will have during the actual WrestleMania broadcast, and that fans would simply have to tune in to see what's going to happen.
What do you think Stone Cold will do this weekend, if anything? Is there ever a chance of Austin and Punk stepping into the ring together, or is this a match that we will only see in video games? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
