10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2003 Facts

2. The Entire Crew Celebrated Vince McMahon's Birthday In The Ring After The Show

It's one of the more enjoyable DVD rarities you'll find. On Steve Austin's "Stone Cold Truth" release, Austin hits the ring after the conclusion of the main event, calls out Vince McMahon, and the entire backstage ensemble follows. It just so happened that SummerSlam 2003 fell on Vince's 58th birthday.

Some of the highlights included Austin and Undertaker making Vince admit his actual age for the record, and (in a part not included on the Austin DVD) Vince trying to coax Undertaker into doing a spinarooni. Taker didn't oblige, but Big Show did, to the amusement of all.

Sadly, the DVD cuts out most of the awesome stuff, including Vince's aggressive vow to outlive each and everyone in attendance. Ahh, back when WWE was truly fun.
