Vince Russo says reported Steve Austin-Vince McMahon heat was real

In a recent discussion with WrestleTalkTV, Vince Russo discussed the alleged issues between “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, which supposedly led the WWE Chairman to remove Austin’s podcast from the WWE Network in favor of Chris Jericho’s. Since then, Austin’s podcast has been picked up again and will return to the WWE Network on a monthly basis from June, however Russo still believes there were legitimate issues between the pair:

On if he thinks the issues are real: “I do. I don’t have any insight. Austin does not need Vince McMahon by any stretch of the imagination. Austin’s not the kind of guy who is going to fall in line to Vince McMahon, wait for the phone to ring. If there’s some type of disagreement when it comes to money, Steve Austin isn’t the kind of person who’s going to fall in line. When I worked with him he wasn’t that type of guy.”

On if it may have had to do with certain guests Austin has had on the audio show: “I don’t think so. Steve had me on his show and I’m sure Vince wouldn’t like that, but it’s Steve Austin’s podcast. At the end of the day, Steve Austin’s going to have who he wants on his podcast. There’s a lot of those things Vince doesn’t like, but he’s not going to control a guy like Steve Austin. He’s a straight shooter, and I can easily see heat between he and Vince McMahon because he won’t fall in line.”
