As well as Austin, Vinny Mac would also go on to tangle with his now-son-in-law, Triple H. With Vince a babyface, he would actually beat Hunter for the WWF Championship thanks to an assist from long-time enemy "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. In fairness, McMahon would voluntarily give up the title after holding it for just 6 days.
