The WWE is all about theatrics, and it’s not abnormal for something completely unexpected to happen. That’s why people love the organization, because you literally never know what to expect.
This is due to the scripted nature of the WWE of course, but every once in a while a story comes out that isn’t even staged. There’s probably not many much more surprising than the latest: Stone Cold Steve Austin is giving up his signature drink – beer.
Stone Cold announced this on his podcast, The Steve Austin Show, and cited the reason as an effort to get into better health.
“My eating program is going fantastic” Austin said, “[I’m] sticking to my exact macros. [I’ve had] zero alcohol for right at 14 days now”
Austin also explained that the beers had been messing with his head a bit when he was in the ring.
“I can’t tell you how many times I left the ring and I had a little bit of a buzz because of all the beers I was drinking. When you’re shotgunning anywhere from six to 12 beers, and maybe you get half of ‘em in. On an empty stomach, after you’ve wrestled, it goes to your head pretty quick.”
Austin is instead focusing on yoga as a means of becoming more flexible, something that is apparently working like a charm so far…
