During his epic run in WWE, Stone Cold Steve Austin had the opportunity to drive many different vehicles. From monster trucks to construction cranes to ATVs, Austin had many unique entrances to the ring on Monday Night Raw. But it was on the March 22 1999 edition of Raw that perhaps stands out as the best entrance that Austin ever had. And it came at the end of the program. Austin drove the beer truck down to ringside, much to the apparent shock of Vince McMahon. But it was not just an entrance that Austin wanted to make; he wanted to make a statement. And that statement came at the business end of a beer hose, which The Texas Rattlesnake emptied on Vince, Shane McMahon and The Rock. It has to be considered not only one of the most entertaining spots of Austin's career but one of the most entertaining moments in Raw history. Once again Stone Cold gave the fans what they want by getting the best of Vince McMahon on live TV. He sent them home happy and more importantly, he gave them reason to come back again just to see what he would do next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM_X-2Y6OZo There's nothing like giving a great cliffhanger, a moment that lays the groundwork for an upcoming storyline and makes fans want to tune in the following week for the next chapter. But sometimes it's best to give a payoff right away, to remind fans that the product is meant to be fun and entertaining. That was one of Stone Cold's strong suits, the ability to show up and instantly put a smile on everyone's face while simultaneously increasing the adrenaline level of fans in the building and at home. Austin was a crowd pleaser and this spot from Raw is one of his best.
