3. Stone Cold Steve Austin - 1800 Collect Commercial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsRybXVfcf8 Which is stranger - Stone Cold Steve Austin in a commercial or seeing a 1-800-Collect commercial? It has been years since I heard someone mention collect calls. But let's breakdown exactly what makes this commercial and cameo by Austin (and D'Lo Brown) so weird. The first thing Austin says to Brown is "I'm not talking to you." Ok, well that usually means someone is mad at you, but to say it while wrestling him is just plain odd. Austin then calls Brown insensitive for dialing zero instead of 1-800-Collect when the former Nation of Domination member called him the night before. Why didn't he just yell at him about it last night? If Austin was truly mad, he wouldn't have been so calm about the problem. Sure, WWE Superstars sometimes speak to one another during matches, but it's usually about what moves they will perform next. It's usually not about their phone call the night before. As a bonus, how much did you enjoy Austin's swing? Perhaps he was the old King of Swing in the 1990s.
