Austin appeared in an advertisement for the Japanese automobile company Kawasaki to promote their Ridge side-by-side truck. “The Texas Rattlesnake” wore a mullet in the ad, which played a central role in the ad's theme, with the caption “Business in the front, party in the back” being the main theme of the ad. In a bizarre twist, every animal or person in the truck's path ended up wearing a mullet as it passed.
The WWE Hall of Famer had teased that the ad would air during the Super Bowl just days before the event. He posted a photo of himself with a mullet, wearing his trademark Austin jersey with the numbers “2:11,” signifying the Super Bowl date.
