20 Incredible WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Moments Nobody Ever Talks About
8. Chris Jericho Drops A 'Stone Cold' Beverage
As this will highlight again before its end, it didn't matter that 'The Texas Rattlesnake' wasn't quite the same badass S.O.B. folks had enjoyed throughout the Attitude Era, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin still found a way to more than make his mark on the time of Ruthless Aggression, too.
And one of the largely forgotten 'Stone Cold' hidden gems from this era occurred back after the August 25, 2003 edition of Monday Night Raw.
Both Austin and his Broken Skull Sessions guest at the time Chris Jericho recalled the rarely revisited moment of post-show fun back in 2021, with the former AEW World Champion noting how his call to "accidentally" botch his catching of a 'Stone Cold' beer was completely made up on the spot.
What came next was one of both Attitude Era icons' funnier moments within a WWE ring as Austin glared through 'Y2J's skull after Jericho failed to grab the incoming beverage again to the sound of thousands of chuckles.
It's a relatively small exchange and one that wasn't designed to do anything other than briefly pop both Austin and the rest of the folks crammed inside the arena that night.
But watching two masters of their craft effortlessly conduct an audience through some marvellously simple physical comedy will always be incredible to watch.
