10 Completely Stupid Things In Wrestling That Heels Always Do

6. Beers All Round

Responsibility for getting dropped has to fall on a heel's shoulders here - it's hard to blame 'The Rattlesnake' for doing what he's predisposed to do.

Sharing a frosty beverage with Stone Cold Steve Austin came with a self-penned disclaimer that had absolutely nothing to do with drinking responsibly. He always made his underlying disdain for his fellow man abundantly clear with a credo that stuck with him through just about all of his WWE run.

'D.T.A - Don't Trust Anybody' was his rule, and woe betide any malefactor that dared to think they were immune to his well-practiced code.

Absolutely nobody was immune from receiving his debilitating kick to the gut, no matter if they'd only just cracked a can. Austin even controversially crossed the gender divide over the years, delivering Stone Cold Stunners to Stephanie and Linda McMahon as well as Stacy Keibler and Chyna, showing no mercy to anybody that got near enough to get caught by his famous finisher.

No matter how affable he looks, or even if he promises you a spot on his podcast, the message was always loud and clear - don't drink the beer, and don't get within biting distance of a lifelong snake.
