In his first ever appearance at the BET Awards on June 25, artist Post Malone teamed up with Migos to perform a medley of songs including his collaboration with Quavo, "Congratulations." But what Twitter absolutely could not deal with was his performance look, which was inspired by a pro wrestling superstar. Post Malone wore a Steve Austin vest to the BET Awards, and fans had a field day with the jokes.

For anyone who may be unfamiliar, Steve Austin is a retired WWE wrestler with the stage name Stone Cold Steve Austin. The leather vest was his signature look that he rocked during his WWE career from 1995 to 1999.

Post Malone definitely stood out... to put it mildly. If the goal was to get people talking, then he definitely succeeded. Other than that, there's no real logical explanation for why he wore the tribute vest to the BET Awards of all places, but it definitely entertained viewers at home.

The artist is apparently a big fan of the wrestler. When asked if he would want to do a song about Steve Austin, Post Malone told TMZ, "That would be super dope. Maybe we'd do a song together."

Hopefully this isn't a fashion trend that catches on with the masses. If you're at a loss for words, this what the fans had to say about the unique wardrobe selection.

1. It Was A Bad Idea

Why? Just why?

2. It Was So Random For The Event

What did this have to do with the BET Awards? Oh yeah: nothing.

3. It Was Great

Props to him for going all out.

4. It Was Confusing

I guess?

5. It Was Unbelievable

Unreal.

6. It's Perplexing

None of it made any sense. At. All.

7. It Killed The Game

Some people were really into it.

8. It's The Greatest

9. It's A Style Worth Copying

Eh. Debatable.

10. It Needs To Go

Agreed.

Props to Post Malone for being an original. His BET Awards look still doesn't make much sense to most people, but it definitely provoked a reaction.
