It won't be a stretch to call Vince McMahon vs Stone Cold Steve Austin one of the greatest rivalries of all time. The feud was primarily responsible for fans tuning out of WCW and eventually leading to Vince McMahon buying off WCW in March 2001. During the feud's peak, Vince and Austin were featured in an in-ring segment that the boss probably still remembers to this day. At Judgment Day 1998, The Undertaker and Kane faced off for the WWE title with Austin as the special referee. Despite Vince's warning, Austin attacked both Superstars and the match ended in a no-contest.

Vince proceeded to fire Austin, and The Rattlesnake wasn't thrilled one bit. He went on to drag the WWE Chairman to the ring and threatened him with a gun. McMahon, fearing for his life, wet his pants in front of thousands of fans. Austin revealed that the gun was fake, as it shot a scroll that read "Bang! 3:16". The rivalry continued further as it was revealed on the same night that Shane McMahon had signed Austin back.
