I doubt Stone Cold needs money.
You can't ever have enough money.
It doesn't matter if he needs it. He still wants it. It's natural. Just because you have money now, it doesn't mean you will in the future. Might as well cash in while you can.
He gets money for Redneck Island and doesn't have to risk his physical health over that.
He'll only return to the ring if he wants to have a match. He has many other ways of making plenty of money that don't involve the risks of wrestling.
Redneck Island will likely end soon, and it's not like that money will last forever. It's because of more money. It's not about needing it, it's about more.
It's why the Rock came back. When he was doing Disney movies, he would never even mention wrestling. However, he's now gone back to doing action films, and his movies now need the WWE's target audience, and he can use the WWE to help market his movies. Now, his paydays from WWE directly may not be needed, but a few appearances and one match or so can really help market his films.
When he was doing Disney movies, he was Dwayne Johnson. Now, he's "The Rock" again.
Nothing wrong with it. This is a business from top to bottom, and no one in the WWE would do this for free.
Of course it should be something that interests him, but money is a huge motivating factor, needed or not. BTW, how do we know he doesn't need it, huh? You guys make it sound like Redneck Island is paying him a mil a year, lol. Listen to any SCSA interview since he retired, money is a huge thing to him, and it should be.

I feel like a bad fan, but...Far Cry 3 might keep me from the Chikara iPPV. It's SO goddamn good, guys. Buy it. Buy both but definitely buy FC3 too.
I don't know. Perhaps he meant that his personal wrestling career wish list would be done. Afterwards, he would do what was asked of him and just try to put new talent over ala Chris Jericho.

Under The Hood - Live iPPV - CHIKARA Season 11 Finale
CHIKARA Event Center (11.22.12)
CHIKARA Event Center (11.29.12)
At last year's season finale, Eddie Kingston realized his dream and became the first Grand Champion in CHIKARA history, winning the 12 Large: Summit round-robin dedicated to the memory of the late, great, Larry Sweeney and assumed the mantle of the face of CHIKARA. Many have tried to unseat him in Season 11 - everyone from current WWE trainer Sara Del Rey, Ring of Honor champ Kevin Steen, to aspiring pro-bowler Vin Gerard. None have been able to defeat him. But at the 9th annual Torneo Cibernetico in New York City, Tim Donst was able to beat Kingston, and now he's looking to repeat that singular feat with the title on the line - and with the world watching it happen live on SMVOD.com!

They were the men who inspired the Young Bucks. Trained them. Looked out for them. They are men of legendary stature, former WWF tag team champions. Now, the 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Jannetty are cashing in their 3 points for a title shot against the brash pair of Californians that have had a stranglehold on our Campeonatos since "Chikarasaurus Rex."
the 1-2-3 Kid & Marty Jannetty look to dethrone the Young Bucks!
Delirious and his minions have plagued UltraMantis Black and The Spectral Envoy at every turn this season - most recently interjecting themselves in the championship bout held in Chicago. But enough is enough - except that UltraMantis Black may not have enough soldiers to go to war with the army Delirious has amassed!
Delirious Wages War (Live on iPPV)
Both teams are former Campeones de Parejas. Both saw their 2012 title reigns cut short. Now, they have risen through the ranks once again, collecting the points essential to title contention. The duo of 3.0 (Scott "Jagged" Parker and Shane Matthews) will wager their 2 points against the 2 points held by Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano of F.I.S.T. live on iPPV!
F.I.S.T. and 3.0 settle the score once and for all!
In August, these two exceptional young athletes met at the Old National Centre in Indianapolis, IN in the finals of the 10th annual Young Lions Cup...and on that night, Mark Angelosetti triumphed. On his road to the finals though, ACH won over the CHIKARMY, and showed the world why he is among the finest up-and-comers in the game today. Now, these two outstanding competitors are set to lock-up once again for the Young Lions Cup.
the Cup is up for grabs! CHIKARA's Under The Hood iPPV
Her Name is...Veronica
Director of Fun, Wink Vavasseur, has ordered an 8-man tag team match that reflects the current state of affairs within CHIKARA.The patriarch of CHIKARA himself, Mike Quackenbush, has been hell-bent on protecting his proteges against those that would injure then and end their careers. But in fighting with fire, has he lost his friend, student and longtime tag team partner Jigsaw in the process? We'll find out as Quack teams with two of his finest, Fire Ant and Green Ant, and the man assigned to The Colony, assailANT. On the other side of the equation are assailANT's former partners: deviANT and The Shard! And to make matters even more complex, they've got former Colony member Soldier Ant on their side!
A Roster is Divided Against Itself!
If there's one thing Dasher Hatfield cannot stand - it's a bad sport. And unfortunately, that's exactly what Icarus has proven to be. Having lost two matches to Hatfield in as many weeks, Icarus, the sore loser, has taken his frustration out on the beloved tecnico. Now Dasher is on a mission to teach the most hated man in CHIKARA history a thing or two about sportsmanship.

It's been great watching Tim Donst's career develop. Have to decide how to watch the CHIKARA show and the Lakers v Magic.
Some GAFer here asked him at a recent Q&A and his response was "nope".

Thankfully, I can do both - super addicted to FC3 at the moment, the game is exploration crack and planning, then executing, a flawless attack is so damn satisfying. It definitely holds your hand a lot more than FC2, and is certainly less of a challenge, but it has also fixed pretty much every problem from the previous game. I'm loving it!
Oh, and yeah, CHIKARA! Looks like an excellent show, and it would be great to see a sizeable WrassleGAF contingent watching

WHERE TO STEPHANIE??!
That was pretty great, though a bit smutty. Man, the things Vince used to do for money.
They would have to buy the shares from Vince. Vince's shares have like 10 votes per share or something crazy so it doesn't matter how much stock you own, he will win every vote.

when vince was going balls out like that it was the golden age. He needs to drop the facade and get things back to there. No holds barred drama.
You have to keep in mind that Vince has aged and that he still has his wife's career to think about. Even if Linda stepped down from politics, I don't think Vince would ever go back to storylines that disturbing.

if viewership and ppv buys drop low enough, never underestimate what vince is willing to do
Kane inspired Cesaro, you're right.

Has Kane ever dressed as Santa? More importantly has Santa ever dressed as Kane?
if viewership and ppv buys drop low enough, never underestimate what vince is willing to do
Yup.
Vince will do anything to save his company.
Anything?

Actually, yes.

That instant recovery, what a machine.
Fun match as well, I love when Kane prevents X-Pac from hitting the floor by catching him on his shoulders and just rolls him back into the ring.
Also a chokeslam off the ladder that's actually a chokeslam and not a throat shove.
Huh?
Hardy Boyz is exactly what they need. Would give a boost to the Tag Team division which would only benefit the likes of PTP, Rey/Sin etc.

PTP > hardy boys.
it really was.
And that would be the whole point of them returning. Putting over the new guys.
