5. Wasted Rattlesnake Appearance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_ZxKCP48_4 Now, its entirely possible that WWE recorded the segment between Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Miz last week when the Rattlesnake was at Raw, but it still felt like a completely wasted appearance for the WWE Hall of Famer. If you skip over the in-show commercials, Miz was playing WWE 2K16 as Austin, fighting up for the world title. The cameras showed his first bout and then the end of the championship match. The real Stone Cold then showed up next to Miz, and the two briefly riffed as they plugged the fact that the video game goes on sale Tuesday. If Austin was showing up live on Raw, then this really was a wasted appearance. If it was taped the week prior, then it isnt terrible in itself, but the segment was just poorly done.
