All Austin would have to do is unplug the computer. End of feud. Not much of a feud.

Since Michael Cole gets to choose the referee, why the hell would he choose Austin. It would make sense for him to choose Riley.

Then again, logic isn't WWE's strong point.

 

[Darwins Dinner]

Hmm, they did have Sheriff Austin before but I guess it'd make sense for Austin to be the GM or something along those lines. I just hope that whatever it is, they do it properly and logically.

 

[Thumbinthebum]

It could be something to do with Taker. The Last Outlaw nickname that Taker is using creates a nice context for Austin to come back in that role. Then again, it might be something they meant to do years ago and the timing is coincidental.

Could be related to his (Austin's) role @ Tough Enough... The Sheriff/Host gimmick of that contest...

Then again it could be related to his ref role in the Cole - King fight as reported/spoiled by the Wrestling observer

Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole, Special Referee: Steve Austin
Cole’s trainer Jack Swagger will be in his corner.

Awesome. Now all we need is part 2 of this:

:lmao

 

[stjimmy1991]

It might just be a referal to the fact Austin was called Sheriff Austin back in 2003. You know, mebbe...

 

[bboy]

he is coming back to referee cole v lawler

Cole will be in ring and announce that the special referee is........and nothing will happen

then GM sends email saying that michael cole is wrong and in fact he struck lawler and should be fired. However he is going to let cole off on one condition. The GM picks a neutral referee to make things fair....stone cold steve austin!

 

[Starbuck]

Beat me to it lol. Everytime I think Sheriff Austin this automatically pops into my head too. "Is that a BADGE! Are you wearing A BADGE!" :lmao

 

[Lok]

Awesome. Now all we need is part 2 of this:

I was thinking this too....nice!

Trust me. They dont need anymore 'rubs'

What sense does Austin being a ref make? Its most likely Jimmy Hart.

What sense does Austin being a ref make sense? Its most likely Jimmy Hart.

I see Jimmy being Lawler's manager. As far as Austin goes, yes, Cole wouldn't be expected to pick him but it's not hard to come up with a good reason. Let's say Cole comes out next week and calls Lawler to the ring again to make the announcement. Lawler interupts him, something like 'before you make your announcement I have one of my own' and then brings Jimmy Hart out. Cole, knowing that it's now an even contest (because while Hart can't do much to Swagger he can hurt Cole, should Lawler get involved with Swagger on the opposite side of the ring), needs a referee who will take no shit from anyone and one name immediately springs to mind.

 

[axl626]

Could just be they're making a Sheriff Austin figure or part of Tough Enough.

 

[CC91]

It sounds as though Cole is picking the referee, so it's gonna be a mid-carder or someone like that.

My guess would be Vickie Guerrero or Alex Riley

Hasn't WWE trademarked almost every word in the dictionary?
