Considering he hasn't made an appearance in WWE for years and his eventual return was always going to be a really big deal, this is a bit of a waste IMO. When The Rock showed up on Raw after 7 years, it created a huge buzz. In contrast, I couldn't care less if Austin shows up at WM30 as just another 'guest'. There are already a million things going on. When he returns, it should at a time and place where he is the centrepiece of the show.
Put it this way. Austin spends a lot of time hunting deer on the broken skull ranch. Let's assume a WWE show is a meal, and Austin is Venison. Austin should be served as the main course in a 3 course meal. That's how he should best be enjoyed and appreciated. As it is, he's going to be the desert at the end of a 10 course meal. You're already full and you won't appreciate him in the same way. Austin should be the main course.
Stone Cold rumor for WM. It's from Ryan Clark who's a huge degenerate so take it with a grain of salt.

There are some RUMORS on some websites that a segment was reportedly pitched to Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk for WrestleMania 30. The segment was said to be based around its ending, which would see Austin giving Punk a stunner to set up a match at WrestleMania 31. There’s been no word on whether or not either man agreed to the angle. Punk was previously spotted in the Chicago area last night for an Against Me! concert. Again, this should be taken strictly as a RUMOR for now. It’s only one idea that was pitched and is not at all confirmed. It’s also very possible that we won’t even see CM Punk at WrestleMania 30. We hope to have more on this shortly.
In addition, many in the WWE are currently under the impression that The Rock will be flying to New Orleans on Sunday to be featured in a WrestleMania segment as well. If he’s not there live, there is talk that a pre-taped video promo will air.
WWE is threatening to toss anyone who starts any disrespectful chants at HOF. Wonder if they send out this warning every year or it's due to the way some were treated last year. Was at the Garden last year. Some of it was just in fun (the Trish stuff), but the Maria whatever-her-name was treatment really pissed off some people and I blame WWE more for putting her in that position. What are they gonna do if a chant starts though? Toss the entire building?
it's totally the wwe's fault for treating the hof show like it's some mainstream event where people will politely golf clap any minor celebrity they trot out for blatant media pandering. they're wrestling fans that are there to see wrestlers, and they're not going to appreciate the show being dragged out so wwe gets mentioned on tmz
Punk won't be there. WWE wants to do a segment celebrating Austin/Hogan/Cena together as the main faces of WWE over the years.
That is the WWE mount rushmore - those 3 plus Vince.
Bryan beats HHH via YesLock. Pins Orton to win the title. Bryan/Batista will have a long post mania feud, with Batista claiming he got screwed over as the Rumble winner who didn't get his rightful 1-1 match.
Cena is going to lose to Bray Wyatt.
Taker's last match.
Sheamus the favorite to win the ATGMBR. (small chance of Rey Mysterio)
