Stone Cold Steve Austin Playing Video Games Is One Of This Year’s Funniest, Most Unexpected Memes

When it comes to the internet, you never know what topic or subject matter will trigger a great new meme.

For example, who would have ever imagined that WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin playing video games would (1) ever be a thing that actually happened, and (2) that the internet would take such an unexpected event and turn it into a glorious meme.

Because that is exactly what happened recently after Steve Austin had WWE star Cody Rhodes as a guest on his Broken Skull Sessions podcast.

During the “30 Second Shot Clock” (a rapid fire Q&A session), Austin asked Rhodes what the best Zelda game is. Cody answered “Ocarnina of Time, hands down.”

“No, dude, Breath of the Wild,” Austin responded.

“That’s a bold choice,” Rhodes shot back.

The unusual question from Austin stemmed from the fact that Cody Rhodes has publicly expressed his love for Zelda: Ocarina of Time on more than one occasion.

“Obviously it’s Ocarina of Time for Zelda,” Rhodes also told a fan during a panel at the wrestling fan convention Starrcast in 2021.

It was even brought up this year during a match during Wrestlemania 38 by announcer Corey Graves.

Cody Rhodes and the video game Ocarina of Time have become something of a running gag

Later on Twitter, just to take things even further, WWE shared a photo of Stone Cold Steve Austin playing the video game Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch.

As anyone familiar with the internet is aware, a TV screen in a photo is one of the easiest things to immediately turn into a meme, which, of course, wrestling Twitter quickly jumped on with the question, “What game is Steve Austin playing during some Broken Skull Sessions downtime?”

And on and on it went…
