The world of professional wrestling has often been likened to the “Wild West,” but an unexpected crossover between wrestling legend Steve Austin and Red Dead Redemption 2 actor Roger Clark has truly brought that comparison to life.
Roger Clark, famous for his role as Arthur Morgan, the gritty protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, recently took his cowboy roots a step further by stepping into a wrestling ring. In a surreal moment that delighted both gaming and wrestling fans, footage has surfaced of Clark getting physical in the squared circle.
Earlier this year, Clark made a special appearance at a Fantasy Super Cosplay Wrestling event during Animate Raleigh. The actor found himself involved in a wild wrestling showdown, serving as the “Acting Sheriff” for the night, tasked with keeping the peace. The event featured various characters from across the multiverse, including the infamous Skeletor from Masters of the Universe.
As the match unfolded, Skeletor resorted to underhanded tactics, throwing salt in the eyes of his cowboy opponent. Seeing the chaos unfold, Clark channeled his inner Stone Cold Steve Austin and stepped in to restore order. In a move that stunned the crowd, Clark delivered Austin’s signature Stone Cold Stunner to Skeletor, bringing the house down with a perfect homage to the wrestling legend.
FSCW is known for its theatrical battles between characters from various universes, including comic books, anime, video games, and TV shows. The spectacle is described as “the premier combat spectacle” featuring titanic clashes between heroes and villains like Spider-Man, Deadpool, and more. And on this particular night, Clark’s performance added a unique and unforgettable twist to the proceedings.
With matches like Scorpion taking on Deadpool, and Black Panther facing Loki, FSCW continues to blend the worlds of fandoms and wrestling, but Roger Clark’s appearance as a law-enforcing, stunner-delivering cowboy was a highlight that fans won’t soon forget.
