10 Weirdest Moments In Stone Cold Steve Austin's WWE Career
4. The Cowboy Hats
Unfortunately, yes, we need to discuss Austin's heel run in 2001 a little bit more. In the grand scheme of things, these moments stick out like a sore thumb because they are so un-Stone Cold like, that newcomers to the Network archives might be forgiven for thinking that it's not even the same guy. Steve Austin does comedy- Did we ask for it? Nope. Did we get it anyway? In excess.
This particular segment involves Steve Austin buying Mr McMahon a cowboy hat, and treating himself to one at the same time, much to Vince's delight. The comedic value ramps up somewhat when Kurt Angle shows up, and receives a humorously smaller piece of headgear, one which he dons with no hint of embarrassment.
This prank in Angle's direction may be considered a good work, as it was at the unwitting expense of the Olympic Hero. The real weirdness of the segment comes from the initial transaction between Austin and McMahon, and the resulting elated expression sported by the The Texas Rattlesnake.
The smile on Steve's little face. There's no money in the world.
