WWE: Top 25 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments

24. "Attention Shoppers, There's A Can Of Whoop-Ass In Aisle 2."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yW4e-iexNA The parameters of the WWE during both the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras were literally endless, devoid of limits pertaining to outside influence and outer-ring involvement. Sometimes an unexpected moment would take place in a wrestler's home, ending in assault and massive damage done to their property. Some superstars even brawled outside of the stadium, ending with one being chucked into the Long Island Sound. But no other outside encounter took place in an epic fighting playground better than when Booker T was struck by the Rattlesnake inside a supermarket full of spectators and onlookers. Booker T initially asked to be assaulted due to his interference at Vengeance 2001, where both Steve Austin and Chris Jericho competed in the finals for the Undisputed WWF Championship, a unification match set to merge both the World Heavyweight and WWF Championships. After Jericho pinned The Rock to obtain the World Heavyweight Championship he only needed one more. But he had to get through Stone Cold first, who himself held the WWF Championship. Just when it seemed like the Rattlesnake had the match fully in his court, out comes Booker T (with the aid of Vince McMahon) to interfere and ruin Austin's match, putting Jericho in the hot seat and Austin on the back-burner. And Austin wasn't just going to sit down and take it. Outside of the arena, Austin took the fight to Booker T inside various venues that were but not limited to churches, open bingo games, and even a full-fledged supermarket. With such an open space full of punishing and delicious potential, Austin threw down and put a hole in Booker T big enough to keep him limping for the next few days. Utilising eggs, flour, milk, mustard, shopping carts, cashier lineups, oranges, buckets full of beans, and turning a frozen pizza into a makeshift steel chair, Austin brought a whole new meaning to the saying "Clean Up in Aisle 1". From that point forward, it was now called "Clean Up In Aisle 3:16".
