Stone Cold Reality TV

Former WWE Superstar, Stone Cold Steve Austin, is set to be a part of a brand new reality TV series which is being kept under wraps. The company Original Media is behind the deal and is responsible for the current reality series "LA Ink". There's yet to be a cable station or network selected for Austin's show.

From Variety.com:

"I'm a big fan of wrestling and of his," said Original Media CEO Charlie Corwin. "He's a dynamic personality, and I seek out characters that I feel are exciting and dramatic and entertaining. This show's going to be big, broad, accessible, heroic and American."

Corwin will exec produce with Caliber's Jack Heller and Dallas Sonnier. The WWE is not involved in the deal -- and Austin is not going by his wrestling-related "Stone Cold" moniker.

Austin said he'd been approached several times with TV projects over the past year, but didn't find anything that felt right until Original and Caliber brought their idea to him.
