Video: WWE's Stone Cold Honored by UNT's Ridge Texada with 'Beer Bash' Celebration

Joseph ZuckerSep 8, 2024

North Texas cornerback Ridge Texada channeled his inner "Texas Rattlesnake" in Saturday's 35-20 win over Stephen F. Austin.

The senior got an interception in the second quarter and celebrated on the sideline with Stone Cold Steve Austin's trademark "Beer Bash" while holding a replica WWE championship belt.

The Miami Hurricanes' since-retired turnover chain has spawned numerous imitators across college football over the years.

In the case of the Mean Green, they found a way to have some fun and honor a distinguished alumnus at the same time. Before entering the world of pro wrestling, Austin played linebacker and defensive end at North Texas.

The school improved to 2-0 with its victory over Stephen F. Austin. Quarterback Chandler Morris threw for 322 yards and four touchdowns, while running back Damashja Harris went for 142 yards and one touchdown on just 10 carries.

The Mean Green hit the road to play Texas Tech in Week 3 and they'll be looking to pull off the upset, a "Stone Cold Stunner" if you will.
