12 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments That Were Genuinely Savage

12. Doctor Austin

Let's get the obvious one out the way.

Everybody knows this segment, and it's mostly funny rather than savage. The altercations between Vince and Austin ranged from the terrific to the absurd, and this one definitely rests closer in the latter. "Angry wrestler infiltrates hospital room and smacks injured boss on the head with a bedpan..." So many questions.

Everyone also knows the closing moment; a tube, an orifice and Vince's soon to be cry of "You violated me Austin!" It wouldn't even be dreamt of in today's WWE climate, and that's 1998 for you. So why exactly is a defenceless middle-aged man getting assaulted and worse on a bed more entertaining than it definitely should be? Maybe it's because that middle aged man was called Vincent K McMahon, or maybe the Attitude Era was just that damn good at sucking any sense of mortality from us viewers.

Take a step back and look at this segment with fresh eyes to know one clear fact: Austin probably could have found better way to get his point of view across.
