Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 1, 2004 The Zamboni is EASILY the most defining moment of the angle...the beer truck was more Austin/Rock then Austin/McMahon. Let's not forget the cement truck on the corvette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's not forget the cement truck on the corvette. I also believe the zamboni show is also the show where Rock pinned Taker in that tag match, and they did a good job of making it seem like a really big deal.

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 That whole WWF title belt presentation segments (2 of them..one before and the one after the commercial) as some classic WWF TV. Austin attacking McMahon, getting arrested and claiming "I ain't through you, Vince, not yet but a long shut" PLUS Taker/Kane attacking McMahon and breaking his leg was just great stuff.

Papacita 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 The first Stunner, obviously. Even though it was a little fucked up, I was IN SHOCK when Austin did it. It was so surreal. The Zamboni incident is definitely up there. The Raw where Austin held McMahon hostage. I'm not sure how it came across to the IWC, but I loved that show. One of the few shows that had me on the edge of my seat for the whole thing. Plus, looking back at it now, I like the hostage stuff because they actually made an effort to explain why the cameras would be allowed to record the whole thing (Vince made them record everything so that Austin's actions were documented for police or something like that), unlike now, where they just act like the cameras aren't there. Finally, I liked Austin's causing Vince to be eliminated from the Corporate Rumble...you can guess why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirk angel 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Mine was the raw after the Undertaker/kane match with Austin as ref where I heard my favorite Vince quote " You didn't live up to your end of the deal, NOW I'M NOT GONNA LIVE UP TO MINE" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 St. Valentine's Day Massacre was a very fun ass-kicking to watch, even though I have and always will despise Vince McMahon. I also liked when he gave the double-bird to Undertaker and Kane on the night of the presentation ceremony, Undertaker turned around real quick and caught him, and another brutal ass-kicking began.

Personally, that show is my favorite RAW of all time. At first I thought (probably like most people) it was a re-hash of the Brian Pillman angle but the payoff was piss-your pants funny (pun intended). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 I loved in 2 of 3 weeks Vince had Mankind protecting him (in the hospital with Mr. Socko and in the back playing Twister with Vinnie) until Foley got on his nerves so much that he kicked him out leaving Open Season for Austin.

Tony149 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 You guys pretty much nailed my favorite moments. Believe it or not, I actually hated the WWF at that point (Nitro & the nWo angle made me a WCW fan since Raw sucked from 1995-1996); I thought they were nothing but bad language and sex. It wasn't till I caught a McMahon/Austin segment that I became a WWF fan again. A lot of their classic stuff is on the Best of Raw vol. 1 & 2 DVD. I know they released the "Austin/McMahon: The Whole True Story" video on DVD (haven't seen it), but they should go back and make a special edition that includes tons of shit. The Raw where Austin held McMahon hostage. I'm not sure how it came across to the IWC, but I loved that show. One of the few shows that had me on the edge of my seat for the whole thing. Plus, looking back at it now, I like the hostage stuff because they actually made an effort to explain why the cameras would be allowed to record the whole thing (Vince made them record everything so that Austin's actions were documented for police or something like that), unlike now, where they just act like the cameras aren't there. I can only imagine the IWC hated that. I thought it was hilarious, as well as the "Rocky" parody when McMahon was training for the Royal Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 The first McMahon/Austin Match, especially the little shots in the back where the Stooges were giving Vince tips on how to counter the stunner by grabbing his leg. Loved the whole idea of Austin fighting with one hand tied behind his back, and then when Dude Love came down, I was throughly gripped by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Wood Caulfield 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 -Vince McMahon training for the 1999 Royal Rumble. I absolutely LOVE that segment. The whole Rocky-esque montage. Shane annoying Vince with the megaphone. "Endurance! Endurance! Endurance!" And of course "I HATE AUSTIN! I HATE AUSTIN!" And the part where Vince wanted Shane to chase the chicken and Shane quickly said "I'm not the one training for the Royal Rumble." and then had Vince chased a chicken in the snow was excellent. I loved Shane back when he was just "Vince McMahon's annoying son who thought he was cool." Remember that? That was the perfect role for him. -The Beer Truck Incident. I remember marking out like crazy when that happened. Likewise, I marked out when Kurt Angle did the Milk Truck two years later. -Stone Cold beating the hell out of Vince McMahon in the hospital. Pure hilarity. Vince's screaming was just so funny. And when Austin said "Shut up!" and hit him over the head with the bed pan, that was classic. And I loved the beginning where Austin said "I'll take everything from here." And then just charges at McMahon. -The Cement Truck incident. -The Zamboni. -Austin spending a day at WWF headquarters. I love those segments. -The St. Valentine's Day Massacare Cage Match. -Shane screwing Austin at Survivor Series 1998: Deadly Game. -The Corporate Royal Rumble. Just like Tony149, I was a WCW fan through and through until the Austin/McMahon angle. That's when I started watching the WWF again and eventually tuned out WCW to the point that I never watched them during their final months. And it was originally due to the boys in my 5th grade class, who were OBSESSED with wrestling, talking about it constantly. Yet another reason why that year was awesome.

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 I just watched a good few of these the other day when I popped the Best of Raw volume 1 tape in for some nostalgia. Man, you just don't see crowds that frenzied anymore. The zamboni incident had the hottest fucking crowd I've ever seen. When JR says in the Austin vs McMahon tape that the people at the Joe Louis Arena said they'd never heard a crowd that loud before, I'm inclined to believe it wasn't WWF hyperbole at work.

Guest Mosaicv2 Report post Posted March 11, 2004 I like the zamboni stuff backstage after the incident as Vince was screamin at the top of his lungs "TAKE HIM TO JAIL!! YOURE GOIN TO JAIL YOU SON OF A BITCH!! YOURE GOIN TO JAIL!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2004 yea how about the next raw after th epost wm 14 raw when austin got arrested. He came down with a suit and tie (and a sc baseball cap). vince asked him about the cap and he took it off. Then at the end after you thought (well work with me here from the marks pov) he had sold out austin asked vince to take a picture with him, then hits him low with a quick shot and then takes a pic of vince holding his ummmm area. priceless. even though a lot of crash tv was dumb this feud at least the original part of it from late 97-wm 15 was gold. also the raw before valentines day massacre, vince has the corporation hold austin back in the corner and screams at him something to the effect of "your never going to get that title as long as I live, NEVER NEVER NEVER look at me NEVER!!!!!"

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2004 oops almost forgot vince and the stooges going to bars and diners in texas looking for austin prior to valentines day. he was trying to get austin to attack him unprovoked (this was the storyline clasue in his n ew contract after vince fired him after the oct 98 judgment day for being a lousy ref) if austin attacked him unprovoked, vince could fire him (hmmmm sounds similar co-gm of raw anyone?) lol patterson hitting on some lady and she hit him in the groin lmao "Vince:Have you seen austin?
