Talent Upset With Steve Austin; Was Called McMahon's Puppet

[Black Widow]

-- The Wrestling Observer has reported that Steve Austin gave a speech to WWE talent backstage at SummerSlam that rubbed many people the wrong way.

Topics brought up in his speech was regarding personal appearance in public. He said that the talent needs to dress more professional. Austin also said that the company has no superstars and it is time for someone to step up. He then referred to his own gimmick and how he has made himself a top guy in the business.

A couple wrestlers said that Austin was way off in regards to how much current wrestlers earn in salary. Some believe that it's the guilt he is going through because of the poor movie reviews and sales of "The Condemned". Others also said he has become McMahon's puppet. Some harsh words have been said indirectly about Austin.

I doubt Austin ever wore that in public, which is what he is talking about, so thats irrelevant. His point is that they have to look professional to the general public when they aren't in the ring. The bottom line is that they are celebrity's and they should look the part.

There's something about this report that makes me think it's total BS.

I think it was the part where Austin told everyone to dress more professionally.

Austin needs to take somebody under his wing while the rock should come back and take somebody else. I also think that the story line writers aren't as good anymore
