10 Biggest Ever Vince McMahon Over-Reactions

10. His Initial Fine For Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold Steve Austin walked out on WWE after being informed that he was booked to job to Brock Lesnar on an episode of RAW in 2002. The Texas Rattlesnake thought any feud between he and the then Next Big Thing should have had a longer build, and Brock going over a name such as Austin's deserved PPV billing. Obviously, walking out on your employer is going to get you in trouble. But Vince McMahon intended on handing out a fine befitting of a far worse crime. Vinnie intended to fine Stone Cold $650,000 for the incident, but Stone Cold bartered him down to the paltry fee of $250,000. A far more reasonable fee, I'm sure you will agree.
