The cornerstone of the Attitude Era was the rivalry between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon. The duo went back and forth throughout the Monday Night Wars, giving us a bunch of memorable visuals.
On an episode of Raw, Austin went too far, taking out a gun and threatening to shoot Vince in the middle of the ring. This led to the most embarrassing moment of Vince McMahon's life till date.

The owner of the WWE went on to urinate in his pants in front of the live audience and the millions watching at home. Austin "fired" the gun, revealing a flag with "Bang 3:16" printed on it in bold letters. Austin capped off the segment with a Stone Cold Stunner on Vince, leaving him in a wet, disgusting mess.
Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
