Dan St. Germain Says ‘Business Affairs’ Are Holding Up Steve Austin Animated Show On Peacock

On October 20, comedian Dan Soder went on Barstool’s KFC Radio and said he, fellow comedian Dan St. Germain, and Steve Austin sold an animated “Stone Cold” Steve Austin show to Peacock during the pandemic but it had yet to air. 

Soder said Peacock was “bullshitting” when it came to airing the show and claimed WWE wanted to be involved creatively. Austin is on board with the show according to Soder. 

Speaking on his WrestleRoasts podcast, St. Germain provided more insight into the hold up. 

“We’ve been in a holding pattern. We sold the show to Peacock with Stone Cold Steve Austin, about a year and five months ago. We’ve been waiting for somebody to make a decision on this. Hopefully, this helps speed up the decision-making process. We have the outline, we’re ready to get going on this thing. It’s just dependent on…I guess they’re down to one issue in business affairs, that’s what we’ve heard. We don’t know what that issue is,” he said.

St. Germain continued, “It’s funny pitching a show with Stone Cold because the first pitch we did, me and Soder weren’t as on as we would like to be. Stone Cold giving that speech, ‘Alright, you’re gonna have to work snugger the next time.’ ‘Oh man, I have to make sure this shit gets over.’ It was a pleasure writing this with Steve and Dan. I hope this happens. It would be really fun. We want to use the Stone Cold IP and hopefully, this works out.”

Peacock acquired WWE Network in January 2021. All WWE premium live events air on Peacock along with exclusive content and the WWE archives. Austin’s interview series Broken Skull Sessions airs on Peacock.

Austin has not publicly commented on the situation.
