WWE News: Fan teases getting the Stone Cold skull tattooed on his forehead; Steve Austin responds
What's the story?
On Sunday afternoon, a WWE fan posted on Twitter teasing that he was going to get the iconic Stone Cold Steve Austin skull tattooed on his forehead. Take a look at his tweet below:
In case you didn't know...
Steve Austin had dozens of different shirts during the Attitude Era. His rise to stardom actually kickstarted the merchandise business for the WWE. You can view some of his classic shirts on this link at WWE.com.
The heart of the matter...
If you look closely at the picture, you can see the fading of the skull on the top and bottom. This indicates that this is either just a temporary tattoo or a removable ink outline for the tattoo artist to go off of if they were to actually do the tattoo.
Luckily Steve Austin was by his phone or keyboard. Within an hour he responded to the fan on Twitter. Take a look at his response below.
Of course, an hour is plenty of time to have this permanent act well on its way to show on this guy's forehead, so Austin's tweet could have been a little too late, but I don't think he went through with it.
What's next?
You can find Steve Austin currently on the fifth season of the Broken Skull Challenge on CMT. This physical reality competition airs every Tuesday night at 9:00 PM eastern.
Author's take...
I think this was just done to get attention, well done to the fan, Bryan, as it certainly worked. He managed to receive a response from Stone Cold Steve Austin himself, which is impressive! Austin is a very busy man, not to mention he has nearly 4.3 million followers on Twitter. Hopefully this supposed tease doesn't motivate someone else to put this tattoo on their forehead.
