http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9906x_redneck-triathlon-2-pie-eating-cont_fun Anyone that suggests that the Redneck Triathlon between Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff at Bad Blood 2003 was anything other than another excuse to humiliate the former WCW President clearly has never watched a Vince McMahon-produced wrestling show. Bischoff was the sworn enemy of McMahon throughout the Monday Night Wars and he would take every chance he had to torture, torment and humble the once arrogant young businessman. Waiting for him as he took to the ring for the "Pie Eating Contest" portion of the triathlon was Mae Young who, unbeknownst to Bischoff, had stuffed the crotch of her outfit with sardines to make the impending Bronco Buster she would unleash on Bischoff that much more miserable an experience. After enduring that unpleasant situation, he was tossed into a hog pen and left further humiliated. A vile villain who took great pride in making the lives of the top babyfaces on Raw a living hell, it was a great way for Austin to get one over on him. Behind the scenes, it had to be incredibly difficult for Bischoff to take his medicine without complaint.
