Infamous Stone Cold Beer Bath Segment Took Place On WWE Raw 22 Years Ago

22 years ago in 1999, Stone Cold Steve Austin produced one of the most infamous segments in the history of professional wrestling. He bathed every one of The Corporation faction with beer which would go on to be known as the beer bath session. WWF – World Wrestling Federation aired another episode of their weekly TV show, then named WWF RAW IS WAR where the incident took place.

The live show was broadcasted from the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York which progressed the storylines on the road to the ‘WWF WrestleMania XV’ PPV. Back at St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, Stone Cold got a one-on-one match against Vince McMahon in a steel cage match, with the WWF Championship opportunity at WrestleMania XV at stake.

The attack saw Austin getting thrown to the side of the cage forcing the cage to give way and dropping him to the floor first. Thus, Austin 316 grabbed a Wrestlemania opportunity who went on to take part in the famous segments in wrestling history in a March episode.
