9. Stone Cold's Love/Hate Relationship With Santa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TBwOwulNm4 During the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin, he proved time and time again that no one was safe from a Stone Cold Stunner. Austin would show up at any time, any place and stun whoever he wanted. On this night, Santa didn't do himself any favours by getting annoyed when his advances toward Sable weren't met with a positive reaction. To make matters worse, a child accused him of not being the real Santa so he threw him out of the ring. Austin had seen enough. The glass smashed and he hit the ring. "Are you the real Santa or just a fat piece of trash?" Austin challenged his identity and said that if he was the real Santa then he would surely know what little Stone Cold got for Christmas when he was a kid. After stalling a bit Santa replied that he thinks it was Tiddly Winks and a Barbie Doll. A Barbie Doll for the Rattlesnake? Doesn't sound plausible. "And I can tell ya what to do with every one of your little Tiddly Winks." Austin decided to leave it to the audience and they gave him a big HELL NO! With that, Austin delivered his present to Santa in the form of a Stone Cold Stunner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=478rGkLui_A Years later, rather than putting a beating to Santa, it was the jolly fat man who was dishing it out. WWE have been doing their Tribute to the Troops shows for years now and on this event in 2003 it was Christmas in Baghdad. Vince McMahon came to the ring to say thanks to the troops by bringing a slice of Americana to Iraq. After his speech, he was interrupted by Santa giving gifts to the troops. As he waddled to the ring, McMahon insulted his weight then called him into the ring. Vince wanted his Christmas present, but Santa didn't have one for him. Vince confronted Santa about the fact that he never stopped at his house over the years and told Santa to turn his big fat ass around and get out of the ring. Santa offered an olive branch and extended his hand but instead Vince decked him from behind and turned to gloat to the crowd. As he bragged, Santa got to his feet and removed his beard and hat to reveal himself a Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin stunned the chairman for his transgressions. It was a great surprise for the troops at Christmas considering no one expected Raw's Austin to be at this Smackdown exclusive event.
