Vince Russo recently appeared on WrestleTalkTV, which you can watch in full below.

During the interview, the subject of possible heat between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon was brought up, prior to the announcement that Austin’s podcast would be returning to the WWE Network.

When asked if he thinks there might be friction between McMahon and Austin Russo had the following to say:

“I do [think it’s true]. I don’t have any insight. Austin does not need Vince McMahon by any stretch of the imagination. Austin’s not the kind of guy who is going to fall in line to Vince McMahon, wait for the phone to ring. If there’s some type of disagreement when it comes to money, Steve Austin isn’t the kind of person who’s going to fall in line. When I worked with him he wasn’t that type of guy.”

With regards to speculation that Vince might not have been happy with certain guests Austin has had on his show, most notably TNA President Dixie Carter, Russo had the following to say:

“I don’t think so. Steve had me on his show and I’m sure Vince wouldn’t like that, but it’s Steve Austin’s podcast. At the end of the day, Steve Austin’s going to have who he wants on his podcast. There’s a lot of those things Vince doesn’t like, but he’s not going to control a guy like Steve Austin. He’s a straight shooter, and I can easily see heat between he and Vince McMahon because he won’t fall in line.”
