Vince McMahon Had to Pay Huge Fines Because of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Love for Beer Bashes: “A Lot of Times When Raw Went Off the Air”

There wasn’t a bigger star in the wrestling industry than Stone Cold Steve Austin. The man was everywhere during the height of his career in the ’90s. His iconic ‘What?’ chants and 3:16 is still celebrated widely among audiences even to this day. But one aspect of his wrestling career that no one could replicate was the beer bashes.

After the main event match or segment, Austin would crack open cans of beer with the superstar in the ring. He would go on to the audience’s section and crack open some more cans with them and celebrate the closing of an episode of Raw. Things were crazy back then, but the laws were the same, so Austin got Vince McMahon into more trouble by over-extending his beer bashes.
