>>12828708Austin is still in touch with the Stone Cold character and he can still do it, and in a way that is socially acceptable in 2024.
The Rock can't do The Rock anymore and even if he could, it was way too politically incorrect for him to do these days. He clearly values having a very spotless reputation, so he'd never risk going down the edgy, raunchy route again.
So he comes out and cuts really weird PG promos that just don't feel like the Rock.
Glass shatters, Austin comes out, gets a mic in his hand and he can be exactly the same as he was in 1997-98.
