There’s a new TV show coming to A&E starring the legendary “Stone Cold” Steve Austin traveling around America.

It was back in January when there were some random videos popping up online about WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin working as a weatherman and also working at a fast food place. It turns out there was a reason for it all because Austin is going to star in his own show on A&E television.

The A&E TV network issued this press release about the new show starring Steve Austin.
