Vince McMahon and Steve Austin revolutionized professional wrestling, and together, they turned the industry on its head. With the Austin-McMahon feud and the Attitude Era, WWF reached unprecedented heights, as Austin and Vince shook things up in the industry.
With Austin and Vince having the same vision, the duo became the most successful pair in the history of the business.
But that said, Austin and Vince had a rift when Austin was asked to put over Brock Lesnar (as per the rumours). Austin then left the WWF for a few months before returning back to the company, and has since stated that if he could change anything in his career, it would be walking out of the WWF.
It was also reported that Vince McMahon blew a gasket, and was upset about Steve walking out on him. In the end, both parties resolved the issue and moved on.
