10 Biggest Fakeouts In WWE History
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin On Vince McMahon
A brilliant early Vince McMahon/Stone Cold Steve Austin exchange from the million of them that ultimately transformed the entire future of WWE, this quality 'Rattlesnake' ruse is still being imitated to this very day. As was often the case with Austin, the duplications only flattered the vintage more.
Stone Cold's restrained one-armed poses at the start were sensational, as was the unease at which he sold being b*llocked by McMahon for keeping his baseball cap. It got binned as per the orders of the boss, freeing the two up for a family album photograph before the Champion struck.
Tearing away his suit and tie with McMahon frozen in shock, Austin's joyous fury over McMahon even remotely assuming he'd gotten one over on him was the exact kind of magnetic majesty that pulled so many viewers away from WCW into the waiting arms of the opposition.
Ever-animated, The Chairman barely had time to reconcile his disgust before Austin slapped him right in the balls to get him to "bow down for Stone Cold". The crowd, as if you even needed to ask, went f*cking bezerk for the whole thing.
They simply do not make pro wrestling segments like this anymore.
