I'm so sorry to have to tell you this, but like so many things in wrestling, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's love of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of 🐬Zelda: ܫBreath of the Wild was, if not fake, then scripted.

During an interview with Fox Sports a꧂nalyst Ryan Satin (via ), Austin was asked about whether his professed love for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was real. "Zelda," Austin said with a laugh. "That was like a rib. An inside rib. My producer says 'hey, say this.' And it stoked so much stuff on social media, so it's like an inside rib."

If you didn't get it through context clues or long-time wrestling fandom, a 'rib' is wrestler's parlance for an inside joke. Alas, Austin's love of Breath of the Wild was a joke. "I never have really been a big video game guy," Austin continued. "But in the business that I🍷've been in, I've been fortunate to be in so many."

This all started with a promo segment for Austin's Broken Skull Sessions podcast last year, where he interviewed current WWE star Cody Rhodes. Rhodes is an , who once went so far as . That promo opened with Austin asking about Rhodes's favorite Zelda game. Rhode's responded with Ocarina of Time, and Austiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn responded with "no, dude, Breath of the👍 Wild."

That moment got enough traction on social media that, a few months later, a selection of 🐓behind-the-scenes pictures of Austin on the set of the podcast included him taking a moment to relax with a brief Breath of the Wild session. Now we have to live with the knowledge that his producer set all this up.

Or, I guess, we could just let the miraculous powers of kayfabe keep us in a wor♉ld where Stone Cold is ready to open a can of whoopass on Calamity Ganon. It's still real to me, and it can still be real to you,ꦉ dammit.

Maybe The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be the one to finally get Austin on board.
