‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin was instructed not to give his signature middle-fingers taunt at last weekend’s WrestleMania 38 event.
Austin appeared on both nights with him winning his first match in 19 years against Kevin Owens on Saturday and stunning Austin Theory, Mr. McMahon, and Pat McAfee on Sunday.
While speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Pat McAfee revealed that Austin was told not to flip the bird, an instruction the Rattlesnake didn’t adhere to:
“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.
