10 Surprising Cameos By WWE Wrestlers In Cartoons

4. Steve Austin - Dilbert

In 1999 , 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was one of the most recognisable celebrities in the world. As such, Austin made several appearances outside of wrestling, including a forgotten cameo as a courtroom judge on Dilbert.

Presiding over a bizarre custody battle for Dilbert's baby, Judge Austin takes no prisoners in his sketchy outing. Decked out in standard issue "Austin 3:16" t shirt, jean cut-offs and black wrist tape, Austin maintains order in the court as only 'Stone Cold' can... by drinking beer and raising hell.

The creators of the show did a great job of recreating Austin in cartoon form and he is instantly recognisable from the moment he appears on screen. Unleashing every Austin trademark there is - from Stunners and catchphrases to middle fingers and the BMF walk - 'The Rattlesnake' proved that, even in the 2D world of cartoons, nobody lays down the law quite like 'The Bionic Redneck'.

That same year, Austin also appeared on MTV's hugely popular claymation show, Celebrity Deathmatch, continuing his on-screen war with Vince McMahon (also played by the man himself). Interestingly, the original plans were for Vince to face off with Eric Bischoff, however, the WWF declined the original concept so Austin was added instead.
