This Akiem Hicks as Stone Cold Steve Austin Video is Straight Fire

-

They say timing is everything in sports and the Chicago Bears may have picked theirs pretty well. After a miserable start to 2019 that saw them fall to 4-6 at one point, they’ve since reeled off three-straight wins to reach 7-6. Now they head into Lambeau Field with a chance to truly get back into the playoff race. Naturally, nothing comes easy against the Green Bay Packers, which is why it’s so fortunate this is the exact week that star defensive end Akiem Hicks is slated to return from his elbow injury.

Teammates have eagerly awaited this moment. They feel Hicks is the true heating heart of this defense and losing him back in October was a tough blow. They want their “Mufasa” back and it seems their wish is about to be granted. Just how big of a moment is this for them? One creative Bears fan found a way to express it. Credit must go to Reddit user u/steiny1217 for posting this video that illustrates what Hicks’ return truly means.

Akiem Hicks can definitely have a “Stone Cold” impact

For those out there who don’t get the reference, this is a famous moment in professional wrestling history back in 1999. Stone Cold Steve Austin, one of the greatest ever in the business, hit the ring to an explosive pop. Amid the confusion to clobbered WWF champion The Rock in order to help underdog Mankind score an upset victory. That moment is considered one of the most important in the industry’s history and a perfect encapsulation of how much of an impact Austin could have at any time.

In terms of attitude and potential influence? One could say this video is rather accurate regarding Hicks, and that makes it all the more entertaining to watch. He won’t be able to slay Aaron Rodgers by himself, but he can help Mitch Trubisky deliver the decisive blow. It all comes down to timing.
