Alright THQ, listen up....There is one legend that hasn't been treated like much of a legend and that's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin...
Let's start with his entrance...It lacks the essence of "Stone Cold" and it's centered around the speed and the walking in general. Watch a Steve Austin entrance and watch how he walks to the ring then check out the game animation of the walk, it doesn't even come close to being "Stone Cold" so the "BMF (Bad Mother****er) Walk" needs to be re-done to make the entrance better. While on the subject of entrances, the only legend who has his own title entrance is The Rock but long before The Rock was carrying a title dangling by his side, Austin was doing it so it'd be nice if Austin had his own championship entrance where he's doing his BMF walk down to the ring and throws the title into the ring then holds it with one hand while posing on the turnbuckles.
Another thing to talk about when it comes to Austin's entrance is the vest...Where has it been? Austin is known for his vest...it was in the older games, why not in the more current games? It's just one more element that makes Austin.
We have a humvee entrance from 2009 from Cena's RTWM, we have JBL's Limo, and Alberto Del Rio has his car...what about the 3:16 ATV entrance for Austin? He could drive the ATV around the ringside area then get into the ring and do his turnbuckle poses.
Now onto the moves, Austin's moveset lacks quite a lot and I know there are a lot of moves we'll never get back but it would be nice to return quite a few of them such as...
-Signature strike punches
-Flip-Off then Punch (Should be the last move in his strike combo)
-Grab by collar and punch out
-Shove to ground followed by Mudhole Stomping
Mudhole Stomping in the turnbuckles where he starts off slowly with a few kicks then picks up speed with the stomps, flips the opponent off, then stomps them one last time.
-Thesz Press with more punches (The most recent Thesz press looks great but it only has two punches but Austin used to do more than two when it came to a Thesz Press.)
Now, onto the Stunners...There needs to be more of them for Austin...I appreciate the Rock Sell stunner and the Flair flop stunner but it'd be nice to have variety for him with Stunners like the ones below...

Alright...I have to veer off the road for a minute...JR may NEVER be a playable character again but did anyone ever think that maybe....This was his finisher?

Anyway, back to Austin...The last thing that is needed for a complete Austin as a legend is his victory taunt....
THE BEER BASH!

And that's about it....Plus it'd be a great bonus if Story Designer had a few "Stone Cold" animations such as
-Spraying someone with a beer truck hose
-Beer bash with another superstar
-Beer bash with two superstars
-Beer Bash with three superstars
-Beer Bash with another Superstar and a stunner afterwards
-Dumping beer on a fallen opponent.
-Getting into the ring and giving two people the stunner.
Thanks for reading :lol:
