Steve Austin responds to Roddy Piper, Dolph Ziggler on adult film offer, Hulk Hogan restaurant brawl
- As noted earlier, Roddy Piper suggested that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was upset with a recent episode of his podcast and caused it to be pulled. After WrestleMania in April Piper had comedian Will Sasso on his podcast, who impersonated Austin.
At the time, there were rumours of friction between Austin and WWE stemming from Austin not appearing at WrestleMania. Sasso and Piper joked about Austin's heat with Vince McMahon, as well as Austin having one friend (his dog), Austin quitting WWE a lot and more. Piper also joked that Austin "based his whole career on three damn words." ("What?" and "Hell Yeah!")
Piper noted on his latest podcast that was released today that the Sasso podcast was pulled after six hours, and that he was threatened to be fired by Podcast One. His co-host said that "some people should have a f****** sense of humor. We get it, you can crack open a can of beer and come out in a f-ckin' 2x4 truck... If you can't laugh at yourself after doing that for 25 years, and starting off as 'Stunning' Steve Austin in WCW, come on now."
Piper didn't say that he was actually fired by Podcast One, just that he was threatened, and warned, "don't threaten me." He is no longer with Podcast One, so he may have quit after being threatened, as Dave Meltzer noted at F4WOnline that Piper asked to be released from his contract. Austin stated on Twitter that he will address the situation on his next podcast tomorrow.
- Dolph Ziggler and Brazzers continue to go back and forth on Twitter. Ziggler first asked Brazzers if they were hiring back in 2011 while selling a storyline firing on Twitter. This past March, the adult website sent out a series of Tweets to Ziggler asking him to wear a pair of Brazzers tights on RAW and stating that they could film a scene on him if he were victorious at WrestleMania.
Ziggler joked that Brazzers was always there for him during an appearance on FOX Sports' "The Buzz with Jimmy Traina" podcast before WrestleMania 31. Brazzers once again reached out to Ziggler on Twitter, telling him that their "offer is still on the table" if Ziggler does not re-sign with WWE. Ziggler replied:
@Brazzers I know babe, I know
