‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin recently conducted a question and answer segment on his podcast: The Steve Austin Show. During the episode he was asked if he will ever return to the ring for one more match. In his answer, he explains why he will never return.
Here is what he said;
“I’m 52, and I get these emails all the time asking why I don’t come back. They’ll say, so and so did it. Goldberg did it, and you know what, I’m happy for all my friends that are making comebacks. Bill [Goldberg] going in and beating Brock Lesnar was awesome, setting it up for Wrestlemania 33 in Orlando, but I’m not making no comeback. I had someone cuss me out on the email the other day saying that they hated my guts because I wouldn’t do it a comeback, but listen, I’m done”
He continued:
“I road off into the sunset in 2003, whenever it was, after Wrestlemania 19; came back for a couple of appearances, but I’m done, and I’m happy being done, and I don’t want the pressure of having another match on my shoulders, because I don’t have to have another match because I’m satisfied with the career that I had. I appreciate everyone that had supported my career. Pro Wrestling has springboarded every endeavor that I am involved in right now, and I love the business, and the WWE and all the organizations that I work for, but man, I’m done”

I think that is a fair statement. Stone Cold is a legend and has no reason to go back for another match. Even though his career was cut short, he is still arguably the most popular WWE star of all time. No need to try and enhance that legacy with one more match.
