15 Things We Learned From Vince McMahon On The Steve Austin Show

8. Difficulty Working With Austin

The headaches that CM Punk caused Vince McMahon are reminiscent of another guy... Stone Cold Steve Austin! "Some times you were so hard headed it was hard to believe!" laughs McMahon. The pair talked about how Austin quit in 2002 because he didn't want to lose to Brock Lesnar. Austin expressed regret over the incident and McMahon noted that there were never any alternatives offered. Austin added that McMahon had wanted to fine him $650,000 for the walkout, which was a figure that he couldn't believe. As a result, the fine ended up being negotiated down to $250,000 dollars.
