I saw this first reported from Jimmy Traina of Fox Sports.
Stone Cold Steve Austin hasn’t wrestled in the WWE since 2003, but is on the cover of the newest wrestling video game!?
The iconic superstar will appear on the cover of the company’s video game, “WWE 2K16,” which will be released Oct. 27. I’m shocked considering it’s been over a decade since we’ve seen him in the ring. I was a fan of his personality as “Stunning Steve Austin” in WCW, but never got into his redneck persona of Stone Cold in WWE.
Could this move not be a bigger sign that wrestling just isn’t a good product these days? They have to bring this guy back into the picture in a desperate attempt to boost ratings? Who knows. Oh wait, I know why now: Stone Cold will be at Wrestlemania next year in Dallas. Oh greaaaat! (rolling eyes) Bring on the beer drinking hick to the biggest event in wrestling….
I will still have to check out this video game though and see if there’s any other iconic features that could bring me back to the better eras of wrestling.
Thank you for hanging out with me on the sidelines. Until next time, have a nice day, a goodnight, and a better tomorrow to you all!
