10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (July 25)

6. Who Has The Most Value Out Of Four WWE Veterans?

From @johnnymercyside: Who do you think has the most value to the WWE right now, @IAmJericho, @steveaustinBSR, @RealMickFoley or @ShawnMichaels?
Steve Austin, no question about it. Since Austin almost never appears on WWE TV anymore aside from doing his podcast, seeing him enter the ring for a promo or being a part of a segment would be a huge boost. In fact, it's a mystery as to why WWE doesn't call him up, ask him to be on Raw to help sell a big match and he would benefit by being visible on television as well. WWE should get Austin to moderate a promo faceoff with Undertaker and Brock Lesnar with Paul Heyman before SummerSlam. That would be incredible to see while also boosting viewership since fans love Austin so much. Chris Jericho has a bit more value than Shawn Michaels or Mick Foley just because he's still active at least on live events. He doesn't' want to be on TV unless there's something meaningful for him to do, so for now he's a 44 year old that wears a scarf while hosting Tough Enough. Michaels has made it clear he has no interest in wrestling again even though he could probably have a better match at 50 years old than most current WWE guys that are 20 years younger. It also seems like he doesn't even watch WWE, but will appear if they ask him to. Foley is a WWE fan that writes about the product all the time, but I think his critiques of shows like Tough Enough make WWE leery of him. He's just being in saying that Tough Enough sucks. It's just that WWE doesn't want their beloved Hall of Famers saying stuff like that. Austin is at a level along with The Rock where nobody else is. They're the two biggest names that WWE could use at any time although Austin isn't wrestling again while Rock will likely be in action at WrestleMania 32.
