WrestleRant Radio welcomes one of its greatest guests ever this week in Stone Cold Steve Austin! Graham "GSM" Matthews talks to him about Season 2 of Straight Up Steve Austin, if he has a favorite guest, eventually interviewing The Rock, his thoughts on the WWE product without fans and his current favorites, his last Raw appearance in March 2020 and why he hated it, how podcasting differs from hosting reality TV, coming into his own as an interviewer, and the origin of his "I'll catch your ass down the road" catchphrase!
Meanwhile, GSM and RJ Marceau pull no punches when it comes to their review of Raw from Monday night, which saw the absence of several stars including WWE Champion Drew McIntyre who tested positive for COVID-19. However, the duo discuss why that's no excuse for why the show suffered along with Triple H's random return, all of the impromptu matches, and potential WrestleMania matches for AJ Styles and Edge. And what the hell is going on with Charlotte Flair, Ric Flair and Lacey Evans? GSM and RJ are also talking the men's and women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classics kicking off on NXT and who should win each one, the debut of MSK, the NXT Women's Championship and NXT Championship pictures, what could be in store at the next TakeOver special, who will win in the Fight Pit next week, Xia Li continuing to impress, Pac vs. Eddie Kingston opening Night 2 of AEW New Year's Smash, the endgame for Inner Circle, why The Waiting Room sucked, The Elite reuniting, AEW's babyface problem, Serena Deeb defending the NWA World Women's Championship against Tay Conti, Brian Cage contending for Darby Allin's AEW TNT Championship, and more!
