With the Texas Rattlesnake handing out "Stone Cold" Stunners to everyone from future Presidents to even the boss himself, it seems as though the legendary Steve Austin holds few regrets about pretty much any of the ass-whoopings he's handed out over the years.

But as the WWE Hall of Famer would admit in a conversation with FOX Sports last year, there is actually one particular stunner he wishes he could take back.

Noting an instance that involved him blasting Linda McMahon with the iconic finisher in the middle of the ring on a 2005 episode of Raw, Austin would admit that she "was like a mother to me on the road," before stating, "I loved her. And we kinda botched it a little bit, right? And I wanted to be gentle with her. So, probably that one."

It's not hard to see why the sight of Stone Cold stunning his way through both Linda and Stephanie McMahon is an act you won't be seeing again on WWE programming any time soon. But it appears Austin was a little more annoyed about the overall execution of his trademark full stop than anything else.
