10 Crazy WWE Raw Moments You Totally Don't Remember

6. Stone Cold & Big Show Destroy The Titantron

Stone Cold Steve Austin was at the heart of some of Raw’s most infamous moments throughout the Attitude Era, but this one, taking place in April 1999, is rarely mentioned.

Having had his custom “Smoking Skull” WWF Championship stolen by The Corporation’s Shane McMahon, Austin was regularly taunted by Shane, who had taken to projecting an image of Stone Cold’s belt onto the Titantron. On this particular episode of Raw, Austin informed Jim Ross that if it happened again, he was going to cost the McMahon family hundreds of thousands of dollars… and that’s exactly what happened.

Big Show was wrestling Triple H and The Rock later in the show, and Chyna interfered. Stone Cold ran down to the ring to fend-off the Corporation trio and save Big Show, which embarrassed Shane to no end. He once again ordered the Smoking Skull belt be shown on the Tron, so Austin, being the level-headed individual that he is, literally tore the thing down.

Show pulled the screen to the ground, and Stone Cold tore through it from behind. The McMahon's investment was literally torn to shreds, and WWE’s power family were left humiliated as Show and Austin closed the show with a beer bash.
