- A man who pretended to be 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin posed for photos at a Wal-Mart in Greensburg, IN., for $10 per photo and it was a little too late when everyone realized he was not the real 'Rattlesnake'. The guy fled the scene with the cash and now Greensburg Police are on the hunt to catch him. The man who worked his part as the fake Austin manager was caught by the cops and he said that Wal-Mart knew he wasn't the real one yet they still let him be there. Police Chief Brian Heaton said they're working the case with WWE, who had similar cases before and both are pursuing charges of identity theft and fraud. The Chief said that the appearance should've have raised red flags from the start since no security were with 'Austin', police were not contacted and he and his 'manager' arrived in a type of vehicle that is not a usual transport for stars. A Wal-Mart spokesman said that the incident was disappointing for everyone and was unsure how it happened.
