5 things we learnt from the Austin/Heyman podcast

Where’s the money?

Paul the promo master

Austin praised Heyman on his incredible promo skills and queried about the art and science behind them. Heyman begin to tell a short anecdote in which he had four minutes to close a show so went out and gave the performance of a lifetime so fans wouldn’t dare change the channel.

Afterwards, Dusty Rhodes told him that is was quite entertaining, but “where’s the money?”. Despite everything he did right, Heyman forgot to sell the upcoming Starrcade event. He states that he has remembered that ever since and now goes out every time trying to sell something to get the money.

Punk & Heyman

Heyman and Punk still remain close

During the podcast Heyman revealed that he continues to keep in touch with CM Punk on a daily basis.

Heyman believes that money is essentially a non-issue for Punk and that he has a true passion for MMA and the UFC. He thinks that Punk regrets not getting into the octagon 5 years earlier.

Heyman concludes on Punk by stating that he is man enough to take his chances and he’s aware that he may get knocked out.

Heyman also commented earlier on that the reason he and Punk worked so well on-screen was due to their close real life friendship. He also revealed that is why he and Lesnar work so well.

Lesnar v Austin at WM32?

Could we witness Lesnar v Austin at Wrestlemania?

Heyman eventually asks Austin about fighting Lesnar at Wrestlemania 32 to which Austin reveals if they did, he would kick Brock’s a$$. Heyman says there would be no better place to do it then in Texas.

Heyman pushes to have the match and Austin says it would have to be a Texas Death Match. He doesn’t want to get into a scientific bout and has great respect for Lesnar, but proclaims that if you poke Stone Cold you are poking the wrong son of a b**ch.

Austin intensity increases as he even threatens to whip Heymans ass before finishing things up and closing the podcast.

This was an extremely interesting development. Could we see Austin step back in the ring at Wrestlemania 32 to battle the beast Brock Lesnar?
