15. "I'll Take It Form Here, Nurse" (Raw, October 5, 1998)
For someone who had long considered himself a proud businessman, the fact that Mr. McMahon had been laid up in a hospital, completely immobilized by an ankle injury suffered at the hands of The Undertaker and Kane, had to immensely frustrating. The gown, the nonstop attention paid to him by nurses and staff and the incessant beeping of the machines surrounding him was clearly grating the chairman's nerves, leading to an incredibly grouchy patient. Visits from Mankind, Mr. Socko and Yurple the Clown did nothing to better his mood. Needless to say, the humbled boss was far from the most fun person to be around as he impatiently waited for him injury to heal. Late in the October 5 broadcast of Raw, a nurse took McMahon's vital signs and then addressed the doctor in the room. The voice of the physician was strangely familiar, the Texas accent strong. Suddenly, Steve Austin exploded into an assault on McMahon, bashing him in the head with a bed pan before forcibly inserting as thermometer in the nether regions of the boss. The camera faded to black, the most powerful man in professional wrestling having been disgraced in front of the nation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvL9eb2LASk
