Stone Cold Steve Austin has been known for his iconic bald-headed look in the WWE for decades. However, even the Texas Rattlesnake is not afraid to switch things up once in a while. Recently, he surprised everyone by rocking a full mullet, a stark contrast to his usual goatee and bald head.
Fans were taken aback by this unexpected change in Stone Cold's appearance. But don't worry, it's not a permanent new look. It turns out, he was sporting the mullet for a Super Bowl commercial for Kawasaki Ridge. In the ad, everything that comes near the vehicle suddenly gets a mullet, including Stone Cold himself.
The WWE Hall of Famer shared the commercial on his Instagram, writing, "Hey, catch myself and @kawasakiusa as we let our hair down and bring some #GoodTimes tomorrow during the 1st quarter of the #BigGame!" He also used hashtags like #Mullet, #GoodTimes, and #KawasakiRidge, hinting at the playful nature of the ad.
Fans had mixed reactions to Stone Cold's new look. Some were reminded of his early days as Stunning Steve Austin in the Hollywood Blondes, while others couldn't believe what they were seeing. "Expected many things on Super Bowl but not Stone Cold Steve Austin with a mullet," wrote one fan on Twitter.
Nowadays, Stone Cold is not seen in the WWE as much since his retirement in 2004. However, he did make a special appearance at WrestleMania 38 in his home state of Texas. There, he had one last match against former world champion Kevin Owens. Owens, who grew up idolizing Stone Cold, was thrilled to be in the ring with his childhood hero.
"As cliche as it sounds - everybody's like, 'I'm the biggest fan, I'm the biggest fan, I'm the biggest fan'. Anybody who says they're a bigger Stone Cold fan than me are in for a fight," Owens shared in an exclusive interview. "If you saw my room at the time - if you talk to Sami [Zayn], you can ask him. Floor to ceiling, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin on one side, other superstars here and there, but Stone Cold was top."
Stone Cold may not be seen in the WWE as often, but his impact on the industry and on fans like Owens is undeniable. And as for his mullet, it was just a fun change for a Super Bowl commercial. So, don't worry, Stone Cold's signature bald head and goatee are here to stay.
