WWE WrestleMania 30: 5 Possible Roles For Stone Cold Steve Austin

5. Guest On The Kickoff Show Panel

The PPV kick off shows always feature a panel featuring current superstars and legends of the ring. This should and could be ramped up for WrestleMania. Having, for instance, Austin, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels on a panel would be quite interesting and nostalgic given they all feuded with each other during the mid 1990s, when they were arguably the top three guys in the company at that point. They've also all fought each other at WrestleMania. The panel studio is a bit secluded and relatively subdued, so during the kick off show - which will presumably be an hour long - they could have segments in the middle of the ring to give it a bit more focus, and also a bit more of a treat for the paying fans in attendance. They could even extend this to a match preview in the ring prior to the main event during the main pay-per-view. Each guy could give their reasons as to who they think will win and why, similar to what they do in the studio with these panels anyway. Again, just a bit more ramped up for WrestleMania. Not sure if it's a role that Austin would necessarily see as one worth his while and in some ways it might be a role that doesn't quite do his legendary status justice. But it's an idea all the same.
