WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin suffered an embarrassing moment on the second night of WrestleMania after crashing a four-wheeler into a ringside barricade.
During his surprise appearance in Las Vegas, Stone Cold was driving around the ring on a quad bike while lapping up the crowd, only to take his eyes off of where he was going for a spilt second before turning around a corner too late.
Right after a turn around a ring post, he crashed straight into the ringside barricade, with a female fan dramatically falling over from the impact despite not being hit by the vehicle.
The 60-year-old was already in town as his match with Bret Hart from WrestleMania 13 was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Austin already appeared on Saturday’s version of the show as one of the inductees.
Stone Cold did appear to check on the woman once his quad was crashed. The vehicle also appeared to stall out after the crash, with ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ unable to move it.
The incredibly popular retired wrestler was assigned to announce Sunday’s attendance and the overall two-day crowd before his bizarre gaffe. Yet, fans were most baffled by the woman falling in the crowd.
