Stone Cold Steve Austin who is a former six times WWE World Champion recently spoke to Brewbound podcast where he looked back at the Classic beer bar segment that took place in 1999. In this segment he gave a beer bath to the Corporation. He said;
“Living on the road back in those days was a pretty wild time. A lot of times, you get creative the day of. I just remember arriving at the building and Vince (McMahon) or somebody saying, ‘Hey man, you’re going to drive a beer truck into the arena and hose down The Rock.’ Out of that beer truck, I bumped the ring with it, but the first 30 gallons was actual beer, and then it turned into water.
“When you show up and hear all the crazy shit they had me do, whether it was zambonis, beer trucks, driving cement trucks and filling a Corvette with cement, totally a damn good Corvette, we were able to do so many fun things. It’s those moments that people will never forget. That beer truck was one of them.
“As I stood on top of that beer truck, delivering the go-home promo for Rock for WrestleMania 15, it was a hell of a night to be at the office. People just shit their pants because you don’t see that every day and that’s the kind of stuff we were doing damn near every Monday night. That’s why the ratings were so high. I have to give a lot of credit to the roster. We had a loaded roster with a lot of great creative and we were on a tear.”
