Vince McMahon made a highly-anticipated appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday.
The WWE chairman gave fans a treat with a very open interview, speaking on a range of topics that McMahon rarely shares details about.
The interview was wide-ranging: McAfee and his guest covered WWE today, McMahon’s role in developing some of the world’s most popular superstars, and the ‘Beast Incarnate’, Brock Lesnar.
In addition, they discussed the iconic Attitude Era of the WWE. McAfee focused on McMahon’s famous feud with ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, one of the biggest stars of the legendary period.
The Vince McMahon v Steve Austin feud created some iconic moments while producing some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories.
Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon
One of many rivalries in the Attitude Era, McMahon and Austin had some incredible scenes together. Notable ones that come to mind are Austin pouring cement into the WWE CEO’s Corvette or when he disguised himself as a cameraman to unleash hell on McMahon in the steel cage.
However, one of their most memorable clashes involved a hospital bedpan.
Lying in a hospital bed, Vince McMahon is being treated for injuries. Austin infiltrates his room, disguised as a nurse. ‘Stone Cold’ removes his disguise and attacks the chairman, comically hitting him over the head with a bedpan.
This incredible scene is still remembered and talked about by WWE fans today.
McMahon recalls the bedpan segment
Speaking about the scene, McMahon recalls how it all came about.
“For 30 minutes, Steve [Austin] was walking up and down the hallway. I’m doing producing, directing and all that.
“Eventually, I ask him, ‘Well, what have you been doing?’
“Steve said: ‘Well, I was wondering whether or not to hit you over the head with a bedpan’. ” laughed McMahon.
The WWE chief comically told how the bedpan was quite a heavy prop.
“Steve starts hitting his head with it [the bedpan], saying ‘you know, I don’t think it’s gonna hurt that much’,” McMahon says. “But this f*****g thing is thick as hell.
“Of course, when it’s showtime, you don’t even think about it.”
The hilarious insight into the behind-the-scenes life of this iconic WWE era was a treat for wrestling fans, and they were able to listen to some incredible stories.
