Stone Cold Steve Austin Proves Why He’s the Ultimate Rebel

Throughout his career, Stone Cold has been recognized for his rebellious attitude. He even had a dispute with Vince McMahon throughout his career. He recently showed a glimpse of his rebellious attitude again. The usage of the middle finger was prohibited at WrestleMania, but he went ahead and used it, anyway.

On the newest episode of The Pat McAfee Show. McAfee mentioned that Stone Cold was told not to flip his finger during rehearsals, McAfee stated, “He was working on coming out. And, you know, we’re in a different era now of the WWE than we were then.’’

“So, I got to watch this dude’s entrance within an empty stadium or whatever. He goes right to that top rope, f**king both fingers straight up in the air. He’s doing his whole thing. Then I see three producers running over ‘Can’t do that. Can’t do that.’ So he does it again. ‘Can’t do that.’ He was like, ‘Alright.’ So he just put his fist up or whatever.’’
